Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
Released in 2015 via the Titanium Dragon set. This year marked a major stylistic shift for Ninjago as characters transitioned into more specialized, detailed outfits like 'The Tournament of Elements' gear.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not restricted to a Comic-Con exclusive, this specific version was only available in one retail set, making it harder to find than common versions of Zane.
Head
Flat Silver head with robotic 'Nindroid' detailing. Features characteristic blue glowing eyes, silver panel lines, and a light smirk. The head is not dual-sided.
Torso
Black torso with white arms and black hands. The print features a white wrap-style gi with a light blue dragon emblem on the right chest and gold buckles on the left. High-detail printing includes a white belt.
Legs
Black legs with printed hip detail continuing the white belt. The lower legs feature printed white ties (shins) and gold buckles matching the torso design.
Accessories
Commonly paired with two silver katanas or ice-related weapons; however, the figure in the image is missing its hair piece (Titanium Silver Flat Top) and handheld accessories.
Color Scheme
Primary: Black and Flat Silver. Accents: White, Light Blue (dragon), and Metallic Gold (buckles). This represents Zane's transition from an 'Ice' focus to his 'Titanium' form.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs (front). The dragon emblem features a subtle gradient effect, and the lines on the face are sharp against the silver plastic.
Variants
Several Titanium Zane variants exist, including those with different gi patterns (Hands of Time, Sons of Garmadon) and a version released in the 10th Anniversary Legacy sets with a golden finish.
Condition Notes
Silver plastic on the head can show scuffs easily. Common wear includes fading on the gold buckle prints and 'neck cracks' on the black torso. The white arms are prone to slight discoloration if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Between $12.00 - $18.00 USD for a complete used figure with hair. In the condition shown (missing hair), value is approximately $6.00 - $9.00 USD.
Price (New)
Included in set 70748 Titanium Dragon ($39.99 retail).
Compatible Sets
Set 70748 Titanium Dragon (2015).
Character Background
Zane is a semi-autonomous robotic lifeform (Nindroid) and the Ninja of Ice. This version depicts him after his 'rebuilding' following his sacrifice at the end of the Rebooted season, becoming the Titanium Ninja.
Design Notes
This figure uses a 'Flat Silver' plastic base for the head to simulate metal. The design team successfully blended the previous 'Rebooted' robotic aesthetic with traditional martial arts 'Gi' motifs.

Collectibility
Medium-High. Zane is a core fan-favorite character. As the first true 'Titanium' variant from the TV series continuity, it holds nostalgic value for fans of the early Ninjago years.
History
Zane was the first Nindroid introduced in the theme. Over the years, he evolved from a human-looking yellow figure to this fully metallic silver aesthetic, marking a milestone in Ninjago character evolution.
Interesting Facts
In the show, this form was revealed as a surprise after Zane was presumed 'deleted.' The dragon emblem on the torso represents the 'Elemental Dragon' he learns to summon during the Tournament.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a Ninjago 'Hall of Armor' display. Complements the Titanium Dragon build or other Tournament of Elements figures like Kai or Lloyd in their tournament robes.
Modification Potential
The silver head is highly sought after for Sci-Fi MOCs to create robots, droids, or cyborgs. The torso works well for dark-themed martial arts custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A foundational Ninjago minifigure that represents a pivot point in the series' lore. It features excellent color contrast, though its value is currently hindered by the missing hairpiece in this specific photo.
