Figure ID
njo401
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2018 (Released in Set 70642)
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. He is exclusive to a single, now-retired set. As a specialized 'Big Figure' mold, he was significantly more expensive to produce than standard minifigures.
Head
The head is integrated into the Big Figure torso mold but features a unique printed face on a light-gray base with a black mask/helmet paint, white eyes, and a snarling expression with visible teeth.
Torso
Light gray bulky 'BigFig' body with a printed black leather-style biker vest. The vest features intricate orange and gold patches, a 'Sons of Garmadon' emblem, and a large 'KO' tattoo on the stomach area. The left arm has printed tattoos (scales/serpent patterns).
Legs
Short, fused BigFig legs molded in light gray and black. Features detailed printing including skull-shaped kneepads and black biker boots. The printing transition between the torso and legs is a common point of interest for collectors.
Accessories
As shown, the figure is standalone. In its original set (70642), he was often associated with his 'Oni Booster Pack' mech and a baseball bat weapon made of LEGO elements.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Light Bluish Gray, Black, and Flame Yellowish Orange (Bright Light Orange). Accents include white for the skull motifs and metallic silver/gold for the vest pins.
Printing Details
Highly detailed for a BigFig. Includes 360-degree printing on the torso, left-arm tattoos, and highly specific leg printing. The alignment of the vest edges is generally high quality.
Variants
There are no official variants of the Killow BigFig. He is distinct from smaller scale Ninjago villains and other BigFigs like Garmadon or Darkseid.
Condition Notes
Prone to 'play wear' on the fists and feet. Large surface areas on the torso can show scratches easily. Check for 'neck' friction if the head was an adjustable type (though this one is fixed) and ensure the arm pin joints remain tight.
Estimated Value
Used: $20 - $35 USD; New (taken from sealed box): $40 - $55 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the Sons of Garmadon season.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 70642 'Killow vs. Samurai X' which retailed for $49.99 USD in 2018.

Character Background
Killow is a high-ranking general in the Sons of Garmadon, a criminal biker gang in Ninjago City. He is known for his immense strength and for wearing the Oni Mask of Deception.
Design Notes
Uses the modern BigFig template but stands out due to the aesthetic of the biker vest and tattoos, which were more complex than typical fantasy-themed BigFigs of the era.
Similar Minifigures
Dogshank (njo192), Iron Baron (njo467), and other biker-themed villains like Ultra Violet or Mr. E.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completists. BigFigs are generally more sought after than standard figures because they are rarely re-released in later waves.
History
Part of the significant Ninjago design shift in 2018 that aligned the character designs closer to the LEGO Ninjago Movie aesthetic while maintaining the TV show's continuity.
Interesting Facts
Killow's tattoos and patches include references to the Garmadon symbol and the 'three masks' that the gang was hunting during the season.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other Sons of Garmadon members or placed on a custom-built oversized chopper motorcycle to match his character's persona.
Modification Potential
Commonly used for 'custom' street thug or post-apocalyptic BigFigs due to the realistic biker vest printing.
Overall Assessment
Killow is one of the most visually distinct BigFigs in the Ninjago line. His detailed printing and unique outlaw-biker aesthetic make him a standout piece for any collection focused on the later seasons of Ninjago.
