Year Released
2014 - Debuted in the set 'Battle for Ninjago City' during the third season of the Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu TV series series.
Rarity
Rare. This is the only white-skinned version of the character, exclusive to a single high-priced retired set, making it highly sought after by collectors.
Head
Unique molded white snake head with long neck. Features purple tribal printing on the crest, a blue gem printed on the forehead, and red eyes with black pupils.
Torso
White torso with purple, red, and gold vest printing. Design includes snake-like scale patterns and a sash. Includes white arms and purple hands.
Legs
Black snake tail/lower body piece. The front features a printed black robe (skirt) with gold highlights and red oriental-style characters which translate to 'Snake'.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Gold serrated Fangblade (or Scimitar). The accessories are specific to his status as the leader of the Anacondrai.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White, Black, and Purple, with Red and Pearl Gold accents. This reflects his 'bleached' appearance after being stuck in the Belly of the Devourer.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the molded head, torso (front and back), and the curved front of the lower tail piece. Alignment is generally excellent on the facial features.
Variants
Standard purple version (njo041) from 2012, a Legacy version (njo502) from 2019, and a Crystalized version (njo758) from 2022. This white 'Rebooted' version is unique.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. The long neck is a common stress point, and the purple neck printing can rub off with heavy play.
Estimated Value
New: $70 - $90; Used Complete: $45 - $60; Price varies significantly based on the condition of the white plastic and neck print integrity.

Originally available in set 70728 which retailed for $119.99 USD in 2014.

Character Background
Pythor is the last remaining member of the Anacondrai tribe. After being eaten by the Great Devourer and subsequently released, his skin turned white (bleached).
Design Notes
Features a specialized mold for the head/neck that is longer than standard minifigure heads. This version uses the 'snake tail' element (6029587) instead of traditional legs.
Similar Minifigures
Lord Garmadon, Skales (njo043), and later versions of Pythor. It shares the tail mold with other Serpentine generals like Fangtom or Skalidor.
Collectibility
Extremely high. He is a primary antagonist and this specific variant represents a pivotal moment in the show's lore. Demand remains steady among Ninjago completionists.
History
Launched during the transition to the 'Rebooted' era where Ninjago moved toward a more tech-centric theme. This figure marked Pythor's return to the series after being presumed dead.
Interesting Facts
The red symbols on his waist translate to 'Snake' in the Ninjago alphabet. This is the only Pythor figure that does not use a purple base plastic for the head mold.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Serpentine generals or in a 'Rebooted' era diorama. Use a UV-protected case to prevent the white plastic from turning yellow.
Modification Potential
The tail piece is popular for MOCs involving Nagas or other reptilian creatures. The head mold is very specific and hard to repurpose for non-snake characters.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Ninjago minifigure. Its unique color palette, exclusive mold, and status as a main villain make it a 'must-have' for serious LEGO collectors.
