Uncommon to Rare - Exclusive to a single set in this specific 'Rebooted' style with the stone armor printing.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a determined expression with green eyes and 'Power Energy' glowing effects, the other features a concentrated battle look. It is topped with a specialized two-piece wrap in Pearl Gold with a Green headband accent.
Torso
Pearl Gold torso with intricate 'Stone Armor' printing. Design includes dual golden dragons, a green belt, and silver armor plating details. Back printing continues the armor and belt motif.
Legs
Pearl Gold legs with dark green and gold printing. Features include a continue of the green sash/belt from the torso and wrap-around bandage details on the shins.

Usually paired with a golden dao sword or a 'Techno-Blade'. The figure in the image features the dual-molded Pearl Gold and Green ninja hood which is the primary character identifier.
Color Scheme
Dominant Pearl Gold with Green and Metallic Silver accents, representing Lloyd's 'Golden Ninja' status.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with high detail density on the chest and hips. The alignment between the torso and hip prints is a key quality marker for this version.
Variants
Not to be confused with the 10th Anniversary 'Legacy' Golden Lloyd (njo636) or the 2013 'Final Battle' Golden Lloyd (njo073); this variant is distinguished by the green headband and the Rebooted armor style.
Condition Notes
Pearl Gold plastic is prone to visible scratches and 'swirl' marks from the molding process. Check for gold paint rub on the edges of the hood and stress marks on the torso sides.
Estimated Value
Used: $30.00 - $45.00 USD; New/Mint: $60.00+ USD. Individual hood piece is highly valued on its own.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Elemental Master of Energy and the Ultimate Spinjitzu Master. This version depicts him after he shared his golden power with the other ninja but retained his status as the Golden Ninja to fight the Overlord and the Nindroid army.
Design Notes
Uses the Pearl Gold color instead of the Bright Light Orange seen in some budget versions. The dual-molded hood was a significant upgrade in ninjago headgear design during this era.

Collectibility
High demand; Lloyd is the most popular Ninjago character, and his 'Golden' forms are traditionally the most sought after by completionists.
History
This figure marked the transition of Lloyd from the 'Child Prophecy' era to a more mature leader role, coinciding with the technical/sci-fi 'Rebooted' refresh of the Ninjago brand.
Interesting Facts
The green headband on the golden hood is a unique print for this specific wave, intended to highlight that Lloyd still commands the element of Energy even in his golden form.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a recessed lighting case to catch the Pearl Gold shimmer, ideally alongside the Rebooted versions of Kai, Jay, Cole, and Zane.
Modification Potential
The pearl gold torso is frequently used for custom 'Royal Guard' or high-fantasy knight MOCs due to the intricate dragon detail.
Overall Assessment
An iconic piece of Ninjago history. It is a high-tier collectible for fans of the theme, featuring excellent color contrast and representing one of the character's most powerful story moments.
