Year Released
2015 - Released alongside the Season 5 wave of the Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu TV series under the Airjitzu sub-brand.
Rarity
Uncommon - This specific version was exclusive to a single Airjitzu Flyer set, making it harder to find than standard Jay variants of the same era.
Head
Double-sided yellow head: one side features a determined Ninja look with a smirk and lightning bolt scar, the other is 'possessed' with glowing Trans-Neon Green eyes. Includes a Flat Silver Ninja wrap with a Trans-Neon Green jagged hair/energy piece molded on top.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with silver/light blue energy rips and lightning patterns. The back features a specialized Airjitzu emblem. Arms are Pearl Dark Gray; hands are Black.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with hip printing; includes wrap and armor detailing in silver and black that continues the aesthetic of the Airjitzu suit.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Dark Gray chain with a 1x1 round plate and a Trans-Neon Green jewel/crystal attached, representing a spectral weapon or energy source.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Blue. Accents: Pearl Dark Gray, Flat Silver, and Trans-Neon Green. The green elements signify the ghost/possession corruption of the season.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). The most distinct feature is the dual-molded/printed headgear which combines a helmet look with translucent energy spikes.
Variants
Standard Jay (njo150) lacks the possessed energy headgear and eyes. This specific variant 'Possessed Jay' is unique due to the Trans-Neon Green 'ghostly' inclusions.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the silver ninja wrap and stress marks on the pearl gray chain links. The translucent hair piece can show surface Scratches if handled roughly.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New: $12 - $18 USD. Value remains stable due to the popularity of the Possession season.
Price (New)
$9.99 USD (original retail price of the set it was included in).

Character Background
Jay Walker, the Ninja of Lightning, briefly falls under the influence or aesthetic of the ghost army during the Possession story arc where Morro attempts to take over Ninjago.
Design Notes
The use of the dual-molded hair/mask piece was a significant innovation for the Airjitzu line to show the 'energy' or 'spin' effect of the flyers.
Similar Minifigures
Possessed Kai (njo154), Possessed Zane (njo151), and Possessed Cole (njo153) from the same Airjitzu series.
Collectibility
Moderate to High for Ninjago completists. The 'Possession' era is widely considered one of the best designed LEGO Ninjago waves.
History
Part of the first major 'Flyer' gimmick expansion for Ninjago, following the success of the traditional spinners and preceding the later Dragon Masters.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called 'Possessed' in collector databases, the green energy usually denotes Jay utilizing the Airjitzu technique rather than being an actual villain in this specific outfit.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on its original Airjitzu rip-cord launcher or in a Ninjago 'Hall of Armor' alongside other elemental master suits.
Modification Potential
The headgear is highly sought after by MOC builders for creating custom elemental warriors or spectral entities.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking figure that perfectly captures the mid-series aesthetic of Ninjago. Essential for fans of the Season 5 storyline.
