Theme
The LEGO Ninjago Movie
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the launch wave for The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. It was available in a mid-range retail set and widely distributed, making it accessible but specific to the movie era.
Head
Yellow skin tone with a unique double-sided print: one side features a subtle smirk with green eyes and tan eyebrows; the other side (hidden) features a determined or 'fighting' expression. Topped with a tan/blonde tousled hair piece specific to Lloyd's movie design.
Torso
Dark green hoodie with a zipper print, white undershirt, and drawstrings. The back features a continuation of the hoodie design. Arms are dark green with yellow hands.
Legs
The figure originally comes with dark green legs (plain or with slight printing depending on the specific set assembly); in the image, the legs are obscured or missing. High-quality plastic with standard friction pegs.
Accessories
In set 70617, he typically includes a silver dao sword or 'The Ultimate Weapon' (a laser pointer). This specific hoodie version is often styled with just his hair and the hood element (part 15456).
Color Scheme
A primary palette of Dark Green and Yellow, accented by Sand Green and White. Dark Green represents Lloyd's Elemental Master of Energy status in his civilian 'movie' attire.
Printing Details
High-fidelity pad printing. The torso features crisp white and silver lines for the zipper. The head print is distinct for having green pupils, a design shift introduced for the 2017 movie.
Variants
There are dozens of Lloyd variants. Similar ones include the 'Casual' CMF version (col304) with a scarf and a Kendo version. This specific njo312 is the 'Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon' version.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver zipper print rubbing off and neck cracks from the hood element pressure. Check for green eye paint fading.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $4 - $7 USD; New: $8 - $12 USD. Values vary based on whether the original tan hairpiece is included with the hood.
Price (New)
The set it appeared in (70617) retailed for $99.99 USD in 2017. As a single figure on the aftermarket, it is relatively affordable.
Compatible Sets
70617 Temple of the Ultimate Ultimate Weapon; also found in certain Target-exclusive gift sets or theater promotions in variations.
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon is the son of Lord Garmadon and the Green Ninja. In the movie universe, he is a social pariah at school who secretly leads the Secret Ninja Force to protect Ninjago City.
Design Notes
This figure marks the transition to the 'movie-style' aesthetic, giving the ninjas more westernized hair and colored pupils, which eventually became the standard for the TV series (Season 8+).
Similar Minifigures
njo316 (Lloyd in Ninja Gi), col304 (Lloyd CMF), and njo394 (Sons of Garmadon Lloyd).
Collectibility
Moderate. Every Ninjago collector wants a Lloyd collection, but because this version appeared in a major set and the movie CMF line was similar, it is not a 'holy grail' item.
History
Lloyd was first introduced in 2012 as a child. This 2017 version represents his 'rebooted' teenage appearance following the cinematic redesign of the franchise.
Interesting Facts
The 'Dark Green' color used here was chosen to distinguish Lloyd's movie role from his previous 'Lime Green' iterations in the early TV seasons.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the rest of the Secret Ninja Force in their civilian outfits or inside the 70617 Temple model. Vertical acrylic cases highlight the side-profile of the hood mould.
Modification Potential
The dark green hoodie torso is highly sought after for 'City' MOCs or custom Green Arrow/Robin Hood minifigures due to its modern, realistic look.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-quality figure that captures the 'relatable teen' aspect of the Ninjago Movie. Essential for completionists, though currently common enough for casual collectors to find easily.
