Figure ID
njo194
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2016. It debuted in set 70591 Kryptarium Prison Breakaway.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While specific to only two sets from the 2016 wave, the large production volume of the Skybound sets makes him accessible on the secondary market.
Head
Classic LEGO yellow head with black 'determined' eyebrows and a slight smirk. Note: This specific figure is missing the green wrap hairpiece/hood and is using a standard green bandana scarf piece instead of the wrap.
Torso
Dark green torso with sleeveless design, showing yellow skin arms. Printing features a dark green gi vest with a black sash and gold emblem. Black hands contrast with the yellow arms.
Legs
Dark green legs with dark brown and gold belt printing at the hips and knee wraps. The design continues the Gi aesthetic from the torso.
Accessories
The figure normally includes a dual-gold-katana scabbard and a hair/mask combo. The one in the image is wearing a green bandana (part 15619) which is an aftermarket addition or substitution from a different character.
Color Scheme
Primary: Dark Green and Yellow. Accents: Black, Brown, and Pearl Gold.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the mid-2010s Ninjago era. Features detailed belt line and chest emblems with crisp lines on the sash.
Variants
There are over 50 versions of Lloyd. This 'Skybound' variant is unique for its sleeveless look. A variation existed in the 'Airjitzu' line with trans-green highlights.
Condition Notes
Watch for cracked torsos (under the arms) and fading on the gold emblems. The yellow arms can show 'teeth marks' or bite marks more easily than darker plastics.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. Complete with original hair/weapons: $8.00 - $10.00 USD. Parts value: ~$1.50 per major component.
Price (New)
Comes from set 70591 which retailed for $19.99 USD in 2016.
Compatible Sets
70591 Kryptarium Prison Breakover; 70601 Sky Shark.
Character Background
Lloyd is the Elemental Master of Energy and the leader of the Ninja. In the Skybound arc, he fights against Nadakhan the Djinn to save Ninjago from being turned into Djinjago.
Design Notes
This version represents a more rugged, tactical look compared to the highly armored versions seen in the 'Possession' or 'Legacy' waves. The sleeveless look was a departure from traditional ninja gis.
Similar Minifigures
njo204 (Lloyd - Airjitzu), njo147 (Lloyd - Tournament), other Skybound ninja variants like Jay (njo201) and Cole (njo191).
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors aiming for every version of the Green Ninja need this, but it is not as sought after as the 'Golden Lloyd' or 'Kimono Lloyd' variants.
History
Lloyd evolved from a young boy in 2012 to the Green Ninja, and finally the Golden Ninja. This 2016 version represents his growth into a mature team leader.
Interesting Facts
The 'Skybound' line of minifigures is one of the few Ninjago waves where almost every character features sleeveless or short-sleeved variants to match the pirate theme.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Skybound ninja or on a pirate-themed MOC. Removing the bandana and replacing it with the proper Lloyd hairpiece greatly increases display accuracy.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom 'street' ninja or martial arts MOCs due to the sleeveless yellow arms, which are relatively rare in dark green outfits.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier Ninjago figure. While the one pictured is missing the original headgear, the torso and legs are authentic and represent a popular era of the show's history.
