Rarity
Uncommon but highly sought after. It appeared in two sets during the 2015 wave, making it widely available at the time, though prices have risen due to the character's popularity.
Head
Dual-sided head with a 'Possessed' expression featuring glowing bright yellowish-green eyes and a determined smirk/scowl. Includes a dark green ninja wrap face mask and a black hood.
Torso
Dark green torso with black arms and black hands. Printing features a ghost-like lime green energy 'spectral' design melting over the robes, with silver/gray belt and robe details on the back.
Legs
Dark green legs with dark green hip piece. Printing includes black robe details and lime green ghostly energy ribbons/wraps around the knees/shins.
Accessories
Typically comes with an Aeroblade or a Katana (not pictured). The figure in the image features the specialized black shoulder armor with scabbard attachment.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Dark Green and Black, with striking Lime Green (trans-neon green themed) accents representing the ghost possession.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back), legs (front), and head. The alignment is generally excellent, typical of the 2015 manufacturing era.
Variants
This is the 'standard' Possession version. Other Lloyds from this era include the 'Airjitzu' variant and the 'Tournament' variant which do not have the ghostly markings.
Condition Notes
Check for cracks in the torso under the arms and wear on the silver belt printing. The black armor piece can sometimes suffer from stress marks on the sword clips.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8-$15 USD; New: $20-$30 USD. The value has remained relatively stable but sees occasional spikes when Ninjago 'Ghost' nostalgia trends.
Price (New)
Retail sets ranged from $19.99 (70733) to $69.99 (70736).
Compatible Sets
70733 Blaster Bike, 70736 Attack of the Morro Dragon.
Character Background
In the 'Possession' arc, Lloyd is possessed by Morro, the Master of Wind. This version represents Lloyd while his body is under Morro's control, evidenced by the ghostly green energy and eyes.
Design Notes
Significant for being the first 'evil' or 'possessed' version of the Green Ninja. The lime green highlights were a unique way to visual the ghost element without using transparent plastic for the whole body.
Similar Minifigures
Morro (njo158), Ghost Warrior Pitch (njo132), and other Season 5 ninja variants.
Collectibility
High demand among Ninjago completionists. It represents a pivotal moment in the series' lore and remains one of the more visually distinct Lloyd variants.
History
Followed the popular 'Tournament of Elements' season. This era marked a shift toward more detailed, story-specific costume prints rather than generic ninja gear.
Interesting Facts
Despite Lloyd being the character's name, the figure effectively portrays Morro using Lloyd's body. The lime green eyes are a signature of the ghost possession used throughout this wave.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the 70736 Morro Dragon or in a 'History of Lloyd' lineup to show his evolution from the Golden Ninja to the Ghostly Possession.
Modification Potential
The head is frequently used for custom 'zombie' or 'magical' minifigures due to the glowing eyes. The armor is a staple for fantasy-themed MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A standout Ninjago figure from one of the most beloved seasons. 8/10 for design and lore significance.
