Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the second wave of NEXO KNIGHTS during LEGO's shift toward digital-physical hybrid play.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a mass-produced line, the Battle Suit variant was specific to one affordable set, making it easy to find but often incomplete in the used market.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with dual-sided printing: one side features a wide, confident grin with orange eyebrows; the other side (hidden) features a determined/angry battle expression. Note: Figure in image is missing its signature green helmet and translucent orange visor.
Torso
Flat Silver torso with detailed mechanical armor printing in lime green, dark green, and black. Features silver arms and flat silver hands. The printing represents the inner tech-suit worn to pilot the larger Battle Suit mech.
Legs
Flat Silver legs with matching lime green and dark green mechanical armor printing on the front. The design continues the high-tech aesthetic of the torso, including printed knee guards and greaves.
Accessories
The figure in the image is wearing a Flat Silver neck bracket/chest armor piece with orange trans-clear shoulder studs. It is currently missing its lime green helmet, trans-orange visor, Blazer Bow weapon, and the large Battle Suit mech it originally pilots.
Color Scheme
Primary: Flat Silver; Accents: Lime Green, Dark Trans-Orange, and Emerald Green. This palette is the signature color identity for Aaron.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent registration. The NEXO KNIGHTS line was known for crisp, futuristic digital-style graphics on both the front and back of the torso and legs.
Variants
Aaron has several variants, including the 'Ultimate' version (nex004), 'Squirebot' version, and the 'Stone Armor' version. This nex083 is the specific version designed for the 70364 Battle Suit set.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include scratches on the flat silver plastic and paint rubbing on the lime green leg details. The neck bracket can sometimes show stress marks if removed frequently.
Estimated Value
Used (incomplete as shown): $2.00 - $3.00 USD. Used (Complete with helmet/armor): $5.00 - $7.00 USD. The value is relatively low due to the high production volume of this specific wave.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 70364 'Battle Suit Aaron' which retailed for $9.99 USD in 2017.

Character Background
Aaron Fox is the thrill-seeking, daredevil member of the Nexo Knights. Known for his archery skills and green color scheme, he often uses a hoverboard and is portrayed as the 'cool', relaxed member of the team.
Design Notes
The torso and leg prints are designed to look like an under-suit, allowing the minifigure to look 'at home' inside a larger brick-built mech without looking too bulky, a key design evolution for LEGO action themes.

Collectibility
Moderate. NEXO KNIGHTS has a dedicated cult following, but lacks the mainstream investment potential of Star Wars or Classic Space. Most collectors aim to complete the 'Battle Suit' team.
History
Launched in 2016 and ending in 2018, NEXO KNIGHTS was LEGO's attempt to bridge physical builds with an app-based game. This figure represents the peak of the 'Battle Suit' gimmick introduced in year two.
Interesting Facts
The chest armor has a unique triangular recessed area designed to hold a 2x2 shield tile which, when scanned into the Nexo Knights app, unlocked powers in the mobile game.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside the 70364 mech frame with a 2x2 NEXO Power shield tile attached to the chest. To showcase the dual-sided head, a rotating display stand is recommended.
Modification Potential
Excellent for sci-fi or cyberpunk MOCs. The silver and lime green printing makes these parts popular for custom space-themed bounty hunters or futuristic soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed minifigure from a creative era of LEGO. While common and currently incomplete in the photo (missing the helmet), it remains a classic example of LEGO's high-detail printing from the mid-2010s.
