Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to two specific sets during the Season 11 wave, making it moderately collectible but not extremely rare.
Head
Standard yellow minifigure head with 'FS' Lloyd print: green eyes and a determined expression, usually covered by a Dark Pearl Gray ninja wrap and wrap-around mask with silver emblem.
Torso
White torso with Pearl Dark Gray arms and Black hands. Front printing features a ninja robe with 'FS' emblem, a yellow 'Lion' crest, and wrap details; back features continued robe printing.
Legs
White hips and legs with elaborate Pearl Dark Gray and silver printing featuring knee guards and flowing robe designs.
Accessories
Includes two Pearl Dark Gray katanas mounted in a specialized wrap-around shoulder armor piece (Neck Bracket with 2 back studs), though often displayed with green 'FS' power effects in sets.
Color Scheme
Primary white and Pearl Dark Gray with yellow and lime green accents to signify Lloyd's elemental power.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso (front/back), and legs (front). The silver metallic ink on the legs and mask provides a premium look typical of the S11 'FS' characters.
Variants
Standard variations include Lloyd from Season 11 without the 'FS' armor. This FS version is distinct due to the silver metallic detailing and the specific armor mold.
Condition Notes
The Pearl Dark Gray armor can show stress marks at the clips. White parts are susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV; check for 'clutch power' on the katana handles.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Values vary based on the presence of the original katanas and armor.
Price (New)
Appeared in sets retailing for $14.99 (70671) and $19.99 (70681), making it an accessible figure at the time of release.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja and Master of Energy, utilizes the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu to enhance his powers during his journey through the Never-Realm.
Design Notes
The 'FS' wave introduced highly detailed metallic printing to differentiate the 'powered up' versions of the ninja from their standard counterparts.
Similar Minifigures
FS Kai (njo521), FS Zane (njo528), FS Jay (njo518), and FS Nya (njo525).
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists as it represents a specific power-up state from a major story arc; stable market value with slight appreciation since discontinuation.
History
First introduced in June 2019 as part of the Summer wave; marked a shift toward more 'armored' and 'elemental' visual designs for the main cast.
Interesting Facts
The 'FS' on the packaging refers to 'Forbidden Spinjitzu', a corruptive and powerful form of martial arts in the Ninjago lore.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a lineup with the other five 'FS' ninja, ideally on transparent green stands to mimic elemental energy.
Modification Potential
The Pearl Dark Gray armor is highly sought after for MOCs (My Own Creations) or custom knight builds; arms and legs are swap-friendly for other Ninjago variations.
Overall Assessment
Lloyd FS is a visually striking minifigure with high production value. Its unique armor and metallic prints make it a standout addition to any Ninjago collection.
