Year Released
2014 - Released as part of the third wave of Ninjago, coinciding with the 'Rebooted' TV season which saw the transition from fantasy to techno-mechanical themes.
Rarity
Uncommon - While not inherently rare due to appearing in a mid-priced set, this version is specific to the 'Rebooted' sub-theme and is highly sought after because it represents a pivotal story moment (Zane being a Nindroid).
Head
Light Flesh with a silver metallic robotic 'damage' print on the right side of the face (battle-scarred), depicting his Nindroid interior. Topped with a White Ninja Mask (Wrap).
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Gray) Robe with metallic silver zipper, gold crest/emblem, and robotic plating details. Features black arms and black hands.
Legs
Black with Dark Stone Grey and gold knee/belt printing, continuing the 'Rebooted' aesthetic.
Accessories
Typically comes with two silver katanas or a techno-blade; however, the figure in the image is wearing black spiked shoulder armor (pauldrons) which were included in his primary set.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Stone Grey, Black, and White, with metallic silver and gold accents to highlight his mechanical nature.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with metallic ink on the head and torso to represent metal surfaces. Includes back printing that mimics technical mechanical gear.
Variants
Standard Zane (njo094) lacks the damaged face; Titanium Zane (njo129) is fully silver; this specific njo104 is the 'Battle Scarred' variant.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the silver face print and the gold torso crest. The white mask is prone to yellowing if exposed to sunlight.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $18.00 USD for Used; $25.00+ for New condition. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the 'Legacy' line which often increases interest in originals.

Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice. During the Rebooted season, it is revealed he is a Nindroid (robot). This 'Battle Scarred' version shows the damage he took defending New Ninjago City.
Design Notes
This was the first time LEGO explicitly showed Zane's internal robotic components on the minifigure head, marking a significant design evolution for the character.
Similar Minifigures
njo094 Zane (Rebooted), njo031 Zane (ZX), njo129 Titanium Zane.
Collectibility
High demand among Ninjago completionists. It represents a 'lore-heavy' version of a fan-favorite character and has significant nostalgic value.
History
Zane started as a standard yellow-skinned ninja in 2011; this 2014 version was the turning point where his design became significantly more complex and sci-fi oriented.
Interesting Facts
The silver printing on the face matches the internal 'Titanium' look he would eventually adopt permanently in the Season 3 finale.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed next to the Titanium Zane to show his evolution or within the NinjaCopter set context under UV-protected acrylic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'battle-damaged' MOCs. The torso is frequently used for cyber-punk style custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A standout 'storytelling' minifigure. For any Ninjago collector, this is a top-tier recommendation due to the unique head print and its importance to the character's narrative arc.
