Design Notes
The figure represents the 'semi-transformed' look of the cultists before they used the spell to become full snakes.
Similar Minifigures
Krait (njo117), Sleven (njo118), and Master Chen (njo115).
Collectibility
Low to moderate - great for army building, but individually not a high-value chase figure.
History
Part of the transition era in Ninjago where villains moved from pure skeletons/snakes to human cultists.
Interesting Facts
Chope is often paired with Kapau as a comedic relief duo in the Ninjago television series.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in an army line or in a jungle-themed diorama alongside the Anacondrai Crusher vehicle.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom tribal warriors or post-apocalyptic MOCs due to the detailed skin tattoos.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed grunt figure that is essential for completing a Tournament of Elements collection but carries little financial investment weight.
