Head
Titanium Metallic head with flat silver hair molded on. Features glowing light blue eyes and robotic panels. It is paired with a white wrap-around neck scarf/mask.
Torso
White and Flat Silver asymmetric design. Features printed mechanical detailing, a sash, and a small blue ice symbol. The left arm is flat silver, while the right arm is white.
Legs
White legs with printing on the hips and front. Details include a continuation of the blue sash, equipment pouches, and knee protector printing.
Accessories
Two gold shurikens (Shurikens of Ice variant). The white neck scarf is a removable accessory piece. This specific assembly is holding a gold kunai blade in the right hand.
Color Scheme
A mix of White, Flat Silver, and Titanium Metallic with Light Blue accents representing the character's affiliation with the element of Ice and his Nindroid nature.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and front of the legs. The metallic head print is particularly sharp to mimic brushed metal.
Variants
This Legacy version is a redesign of the original 2014 Rebooted outfit. There are many other versions of Zane, but this specific print is common in the 2020 wave.
Condition Notes
The metallic printing on the head can be prone to scratching. Wear on the white scarf's plastic can lead to loosening of the fit over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $6.00 - $9.00 USD. Value is relatively low due to high production volume.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $9.99 (71701 Kai's Fire Dragon) to $49.99 (71704 Kai Fighter).
Compatible Sets
71704 Kai Fighter, 71701 Kai's Fire Dragon (Legacy), 30536 Combo Charger (Polybag).
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot) created by Dr. Julien. He is a primary protagonist in the Ninjago series known for his logic and sacrifice.
Design Notes
The 'Legacy' line reimagines older outfits with modern printing techniques. The mix of a white arm and silver arm highlights his robotic and ninja dual nature.

Collectibility
Moderate. While common, every Ninjago collector needs a definitive Zane. Legacy versions are popular for their updated aesthetics without the rarity of older 2011-2014 figures.
History
Launched in 2020 as part of the Legacy initiative which celebrated the tenth anniversary of Ninjago by remaking classic sets and characters.
Interesting Facts
Though Zane is a robot, early figures used standard yellow heads. This silver metallic head design became the standard for his 'revealed' robotic form post-Season 3.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Legacy Ninja in their 2020 wave outfits. Looks best on a snow-themed MOC baseplate or inside the 71704 cockpit.
Modification Potential
The silver robotic parts are highly sought after for Sci-Fi MOCs and custom cyborg characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed representation of a core character. High quality but low price point makes it an excellent entry figure for a new collector.
