Figure ID

Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2021 (Part of the Season 14 'The Island' wave)
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited-edition exclusive, it appeared only in the largest set of the wave, making it harder to obtain than basic retail variants.
Head
Features a dual-sided face print with one side showing glowing orange eyes and a determined expression. It is topped with a Pearl Gold ninja wrap and a unique Trans-Bright Green flame-like hairpiece representing Lloyd's energy power.
Torso
Dark Green torso with a camouflage 'torn' pattern revealing elements of energy (trans-yellow/green). It features Pearl Gold arms and yellow hands. The back printing continues the jungle camo and tactical vest design.
Legs
Dark Green legs with detailed printing of black tactical straps, pouches, and silver knee pads. The printing matches the aesthetic of the Island Lloyd variant but maintains the darker color palette.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally comes with a Pearl Gold sword (katana) and a bone-handled weapon associated with the Keepers of the Amulet.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Green, Pearl Gold, and Trans-Bright Green. This palette is specific to Lloyd's 'Energy spirit' manifestation during the Island story arc.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, front torso, back torso, and front of the legs. The 'torn camo' effect is particularly intricate with multiple color layers.
Variants
This is the 'Ghost' or 'Spirit' version of Island Lloyd. Other variants include the standard Island Lloyd (njo633) and various Legacy versions released the same year.
Condition Notes
The Pearl Gold paint on the wrap can show scratches easily. The Trans-Green hair piece is a soft plastic that may attract dust or show bite marks if mishandled.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Value is tied heavily to the unique hairpiece.
Price (New)
Included in set 71748 at $69.99 USD retail. Price per figure is approximately $11.66 within that set context.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja. This version represents his spiritual energy form seen in 'The Island' miniseries while navigating the dangers of the Keepers' territory.
Design Notes
The standout design element is the dual-molded/translucent hairpiece which was a significant innovation for Ninjago elemental effects at the time.
Similar Minifigures
njo633 Island Lloyd, njo681 Lloyd Jungle Garmadon, and njo528 FS (Forbidden Spinjitzu) Lloyd.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a specific sub-variant that completionist Ninjago fans prioritize, especially those collecting the full Season 14 cast.
History
Released during Ninjago's 10th anniversary year. It represents the shift towards more specialized elemental-effect parts in the modern era of the theme.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called a 'Ghost' in some fan circles because of the translucent hair, it is officially Lloyd in his Island gear while channeling his elemental power.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent stand to mimic the 'floating' spirit look, preferably alongside the 71748 Jungle Totem or the Storm Amulet.
Modification Potential
The head and hair piece are highly sought after by MOC builders for creating custom 'super-powered' or 'glowing' superhero characters.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking figure with a unique translucent hairpiece. It is a solid B-tier collectible—not the rarest Ninjago figure, but a very cool-looking variant for any Green Ninja fan.
