Year Released
2019 - Released as part of the Summer wave of Ninjago sets based on the Season 11 television series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not restricted to a Comic-Con event, it was exclusive to one of the flagship sets of the wave (70678) and featured unique rubberized molds.
Head
Yellow head with robotic blue eyes and silver paneling on the side; the figure in the image is wearing the FS-exclusive 'tornado' or powered-up cowl/hair piece which is a white rubberized mold.
Torso
White and sand-blue ninja gi with dark blue belt and silver medallion; arms are sand blue with light blue hands. Includes the rare white FS shoulder/neck armor piece.
Legs
White legs with dark blue and sand blue printing, featuring an icy 'shattered' or 'blizzard' design at the hemline transition to dark blue boots.
Accessories
Commonly paired with a silver katana or a shuriken, though this particular 'FS' variant often included a translucent light blue 'scroll' or ice power element in the original set.
Color Scheme
White, sand blue, and dark blue with silver metallic accents. The FS accessories add a monochromatic 'ice' effect.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front/back and legs. The FS cowl features detailed textured molding representing spinning elemental energy.
Variants
This is the FS version; Zane has dozens of other variants including 'Ice Emperor' (his villainous counterpart in the same wave) and standard ninja gi versions.
Condition Notes
The white rubberized cowl and shoulder armor are prone to attracting dust and lint due to the material texture. White plastic may yellow if exposed to UV light.
Estimated Value
$15.00 - $25.00 USD for a used complete version; prices can fluctuate based on the condition of the specific FS elemental hair piece.
Price (New)
Included in set 70678 (Castle of the Forsaken Emperor) which retailed for approximately $99.99 USD.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot). In this form, he has accessed the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu, which grants significant power but risks corrupting the user.
Design Notes
The 'FS' line introduced a new large-scale rubberized hair-piece-adjacent mold intended to represent a minifigure inside an elemental tornado.

Collectibility
Medium-High. Collectors of Ninjago often seek the 'Forbidden Spinjitzu' variants of all six main ninja to complete the set.
History
Season 11 marked a change in Ninjago animation style and runtime, and the FS figures were the primary 'gimmick' minifigures of that era.
Interesting Facts
This specific figure represents Zane before he is lost in the Never-Realm and becomes the villainous Ice Emperor.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside other FS variants or placed in a snowy/ice MOC to highlight the Frozen theme.
Modification Potential
The FS cowl is a popular piece for custom figures representing deities or frost spirits due to its unique size and texture.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking minifigure with a high 'shelf presence' due to the unique FS armor and hair molds; a essential piece for Ninjago completionists.
