Variants
There are no significant production variants of this specific character, though the hoodie/hat piece appears in various colors for other Prime Empire characters like Racer Seven.

Character Background
Scott is a legendary player who was trapped inside the Prime Empire video game for 30 years. He acts as a guide and mechanic for the Ninja, operating a garage and helping them navigate the digital world against Unagami.
Design Notes
The figure successfully blends urban streetwear with a digital sci-fi aesthetic. The hoodie-cap mold (65435) was a new piece for this sub-theme, representing the 'Avatar' look of game characters.
Similar Minifigures
Racer Seven (njo634), Avatar Cole (njo566), and Pink Zane (njo562).
Collectibility
Moderate. He is a key supporting character for the Prime Empire season, making him essential for 'completist' Ninjago collectors, though not as high-demand as the core Ninja.
History
Part of the 12th season of Ninjago. This era marked a shift toward brighter, 'tron-like' colors and more modern, street-style designs for the figures.
Interesting Facts
Scott's character was a fan-favorite because his name and 'trapped in a game' backstory served as a tribute to older LEGO fans who have stayed with the hobby since the 80s/90s.
Display Suggestions
Displays best in a neon-lit urban MOC or alongside the 71708 Gamer's Market setup. The transparent green blade catches light well if back-lit slightly.
Modification Potential
The hoodie-cap piece and detailed torso are highly popular for 'Cyberpunk' or 'Watch Dogs' style custom modern city minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking figure with great part-usage. His unique headpiece and complex leg printing make him a standout for the price point. Highly recommended for fans of the Prime Empire aesthetic.
