Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2017 - Released as part of the first wave of sets accompanying the theatrical release of The LEGO Ninjago Movie.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, this specific version of Nya only appeared in one medium-sized set, making it one of her less common movie variants compared to her Ninja suit.
Head
Yellow skin tone with Nya's signature movie face print: large eyes with brown pupils, thin eyebrows, and dark red lipstick. It features the 'Choppy with Bangs' black hair piece (part 25972), which was introduced specifically for her movie design.
Torso
Red sleeveless Cheongsam-style torso with intricate gold and dark red printing. The design features a high collar with silver fasteners and a repeating pattern of stylized flame emblems representing her brother Kai's element, as she had not yet embraced her water powers in the movie's public persona.
Legs
Red legs with red hips. The printing continues the design of the formal robe (Cheongsam) onto the legs, including the dark red sash (obi) at the waist and the bottom hem of the dress with white and silver trim.
Accessories
As shown, the figure is missing its primary accessory which was a light bluish gray spear with a tassel. She did not include any hair-alternates or headgear in the original set.
Color Scheme
Primary Red with Yellow flesh tones. Accent colors include Metallic Gold, Black, White, and Silver printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2017 movie era. The printing extends from the neck down to the mid-shin, providing a seamless visual transition between the torso and legs. The metallic gold flames are particularly crisp.
Variants
This is the 'Formal' version. Other movie variants include Nya in her Ninja Outfit (njo319), her Civilian High School outfit (njo338), and her Lady Iron Dragon disguise.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the silver neck printing, which can rub off with play, and potential 'neck cracks' on the red torso. The black hair piece is prone to minor surface scratches that show white under bright light.
Estimated Value
New/Mint: $12.00 - $15.00; Used Complete: $7.00 - $9.00; As Pictured (No weapon): $5.00 - $6.00.
Price (New)
Originally available in set 70607, which retailed for $19.99 USD. This resulted in a roughly $4.00 per-minifigure cost at retail.

Character Background
Nya is the younger sister of Kai and the Elemental Master of Water. In the movie universe, she is a fierce warrior who initially hides her Ninja identity while attending high school and public events in NINJAGO City.
Design Notes
This figure shows the shift towards highly detailed, movie-accurate prints. The lack of sleeves (yellow arms) is a specific design choice to represent the traditional dress style, differentiating it from the long-sleeved ninja gi.
Similar Minifigures
njo319 (Ninja Nya), njo338 (High School Nya), and other formal-wear characters from the Ninjago Movie City Chase set like Shark Army Thug or Lloyd Garmadon.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completists. Because she is a core member of the secret ninja force, collectors often seek out every variant, especially those tied to the theatrical film.
History
Nya's design was completely overhauled for the 2017 movie, introducing the mole below her eye and the new hair piece. This formal variant represents a rare 'civilian' look for the character.
Interesting Facts
The flame prints on her dress are actually a nod to her brother Kai; in the movie storyline, Nya often wears his branding before she fully steps into her own identity as the Water Ninja.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the NINJAGO City Docks or NINJAGO City Gardens to recreate the urban civilian life depicted in the film. Use a clear 1x2 brick to elevate her behind the Spear accessory.
Modification Potential
The red torso and legs are excellent for creating custom 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Fire Nation characters due to the flame motifs and traditional Asian styling.
Overall Assessment
A beautiful and detailed minifigure that captures the aesthetic excellence of the Ninjago Movie line. While not the most expensive figure, it is a standout for its unique printing and character-specific hair mold. Rating: 8/10 for design, 6/10 for rarity.
