Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2016. Released as part of the Airjitzu flyer series during the Skybound (Season 6) wave of Ninjago.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a relatively affordable single-figure set, it was specific to the flyer and not included in traditional building sets, making it rarer than standard Lloyd variants.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone. Features Lloyd’s signature determined expression with green eyes, furrowed brown eyebrows, and a slight smirk. It is missing the hair piece/hood in the image.
Torso
Black torso with detailed green, grey, and silver printing. Features an Airjitzu-style circular emblem on the chest with ornate green banding and silver buckle detailing. Back printing matches the aesthetic.
Legs
Black legs with green and silver printing. Design includes knee plate details and intricate green line work that continues the 'Airjitzu' energy motif from the torso.
Accessories
Includes two flat silver katanas and a black double-sword holder (scabbard) attached to the neck. Note: The hair piece (blonde tousled hair) and the Airjitzu hood are missing from the pictured figure.
Color Scheme
A 'Stealth' palette consisting primarily of Black and Bright Green, with Bright Light Blue/Silver accents for metallic details.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The detail is dense on the torso and upper legs, featuring sharp alignment of the green energy patterns and the centered circular emblem.
Variants
This specifically is the 'Airjitzu' version. It differs from the standard 'Skybound' Lloyd (njo192) which has more green on the torso and different armor plating.
Condition Notes
The neck scabbard can cause minor stress marks on the torso neck peg. The green printing on the legs is prone to 'toe wear' if played with on rough surfaces.
Estimated Value
Used (Complete): $5-$8 USD. Used (Missing hair/hood/armor as pictured): $3-$5 USD. New/Sealed in packaging: $15-$25 USD.
Price (New)
Originally sold in set 70590 (Airjitzu Battle Grounds) or 70593, but this specific ID variant is best known from the individual Airjitzu Lloyd Flyer (70743) which retailed for $9.99.
Compatible Sets
70743 (Airjitzu Lloyd Flyer), 70590 (Airjitzu Battle Grounds).
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Elemental Master of Energy and the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. In this version, he has mastered Airjitzu to combat the Sky Pirates led by Nadakhan the Djinn.
Design Notes
The 'Airjitzu' line featured unique prints meant to look more lightweight and aerodynamic than heavy battle armor, characterized by the circular chest emblems.
Similar Minifigures
njo192 (Skybound Lloyd), njo151 (Airjitzu Cole), njo152 (Airjitzu Kai).
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors of Ninjago usually seek every 'suit' variation. While not the most expensive Lloyd, it is a necessary piece for a Master of Spinjitzu collection.
History
Represents the era when Ninjago transitioned into more gimmick-based play (flyers) while maintaining high-detail minifigure designs for the collectors.
Interesting Facts
The Airjitzu kanji characters on some figures in this wave actually translate to 'Air' in the fictional Ninjago language.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Airjitzu ninjas (Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Nya) to complete the 'translucent flyer' team aesthetic.
Modification Potential
The black and green torso is highly prized for 'Dark Ninja' MOCs or custom Green Arrow (DC) minifigure builds.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed variant of the main protagonist. However, the figure in the image is incomplete (missing hair/headgear), which significantly impacts its display value.
