Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While easily accessible in mid-priced sets, this specific version is unique to the Season 14 'Island' wave.
Head
Dual-sided head printing. One side features a focused, determined expression with green eyes; the other features an angry warrior expression with facial paint/markings. Dark green 'Island' style headband/mask piece is included.
Torso
Dark green torso with intricate printing representing jungle camouflage and tactical ninja gear. Features a lime green and silver chest plate, a printed brown strap across the chest, and dark brown hands representing gloves.
Legs
Dark green legs with detailed printing that continues the jungle ninja aesthetic, including silver knee pads and utility straps. The printing is limited to the front face of the legs.

Equipped with a dark brown scabbard/shoulder armor piece (98132) and two black katanas. Often paired with a shield or bone-style weapon in specific sets.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Green and Bright Green. Secondary: Black, Silver (Metallic), and Earthy Brown accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of modern Ninjago figures. Features detailed line work on the chest and knees, though lacking arm or side-leg printing which is common for non-Legacy retail figures.
Variants
This is the 'The Island' variant. Other Lloyd variants include 'Legacy', 'Core', 'Crystallized', and 'Movie' versions, all featuring different hair pieces or gi patterns.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver printing on the knee pads which can scratch. Check for 'neck cracks' in the torso and ensuring the back-print is not scuffed by the scabbard piece.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja and Master of Energy. In 'The Island' season, he leads the team to a mysterious island to find his father and Master Wu, adopting camouflage attire to blend into the jungle environment.
Design Notes
The Season 14 designs were notable for their 'tribal' and 'tactical' fusion, moving away from traditional gi to more rugged survivalist aesthetic. The headpiece is a specialized mold combining a mask and hair texture.
Similar Minifigures
Island Kai (njo657), Island Jay (njo656), and Island Cole (njo658).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a necessary figure for completionsists of the 'The Island' sub-theme, but Lloyd is the most frequently produced character in the franchise, keeping value stable.
History
Released in early 2021 as part of the 10th-anniversary year of Ninjago, though this sub-theme focuses on the new 'Island' storyline rather than the gold anniversary figures.
Interesting Facts
The facial markings on the angry side of the head are intended to mimic the war paint worn by the 'Keepers' (the antagonists of the season), suggesting a tactical camouflage approach.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a jungle-themed diorama or on a Master of Spinjitzu display stand alongside other 'The Island' ninja variants.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are popular for MOC (My Own Creations) builders creating military or post-apocalyptic survivor characters due to the tactical green patterning.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed variant of the main protagonist. While common, its unique camouflage printing makes it stand out from the standard green gi versions of Lloyd.
