Yellow head with silver robotic 'battle scarred' printing on the right cheek and chin, featuring one raised eyebrow and a determined smirk. It is single-sided.
Torso
White Ninja Gi with black and gold trim, featuring a 'Techno' stylized crest on the left chest and a knotted black belt. The printing continues to the back.
Legs
White legs with white hips. Front printing includes a continuation of the Gi robe with gold trim and Ninjago script characters on the left thigh.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with a translucent blue Techno-Blade and silver katanas.
Color Scheme
Primary white and yellow with black and gold decorative accents. Features metallic silver to represent Zane's Nindroid (robot) nature.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front/back), and the upper part of the legs. The gold detailing is sharp and contains Ninjago-specific script.
Variants
There are many versions of Zane; this specific 'Battle Scarred' variant (njo094) is distinguished by the silver mechanical printing on the yellow head.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck post (cracking) and the gold printing on the legs which can rub off. The figure pictured shows slight discoloration/yellowing on the lower legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. New/Mint: $12.00 - $15.00 USD. Value is lower here due to missing hair and weapons.

Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid. In the Rebooted season, he discovers his robotic origin and eventually sacrifices himself to defeat the Golden Master.
Design Notes
This figure bridges the gap between Zane's 'human' appearance and his fully metallic Titanium form. The 'battle scar' printing exposes his internal circuitry.
Similar Minifigures
njo082 (Zane - Rebooted), njo106 (Titanium Zane), and various other Gi versions of the Zane character.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. The Rebooted era is fondly remembered, and battle-damaged ninjas are always popular for MOC displays.
History
Zane first appeared in 2011 with a classic yellow head. This 2014 version was a pivotal design before he was redesigned as a silver-skinned droid in 2015.
Interesting Facts
The script on the leg plate of this minifigure actually translates roughly to 'NINJA' in the proprietary Ninjago language cipher.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Rebooted team members (Lloyd, Kai, Jay, Cole) or within the 70724 NinjaCopter set. Use a blue lightsaber blade to mimic his Techno-Blade.
Modification Potential
The head is highly desirable for custom 'Cyborg' or 'Android' minifigures in City or Space themes due to the subtle silver printing.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier Ninjago figure. While it is missing its hairpiece in the photo, the torso and head prints remain iconic markers of the 2014 era.
