The use of the Pearl Gold base for the entire figure (excluding arms) was a specific aesthetic choice for the anniversary figures to make them look like collectible trophies.

Interesting Facts
Each 10th Anniversary figure comes with a circular 2x2 printed '10 Years' tile when bought in its original set, though the figure itself is the main draw.

Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Golden Dragon' custom MOCs or as a high-value base for custom Nindroid armor builds.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful, highly-detailed anniversary figure. It is an essential piece for Ninjago completionists and a great example of LEGO's high-quality metallic plastic molding.
