Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot). In the movie, he is depicted as having a humorous, overly literal personality mimicking a typical 'teenager' attempting to blend in.
Design Notes
Reflects the movie's shift towards more detailed, 'realistic' tactical gear compared to the stylized cartoon versions; uses the then-new two-part mask mold.
Similar Minifigures
njo371 (Zane - Sons of Garmadon), njo255 (Zane - Rebooted), and other movie-style ninjas like Lloyd (njo312).
Collectibility
Medium; essential for completing the movie ninja team, but high production volume keeps the price accessible.
History
Represented the 2017 design overhaul for the characters that eventually influenced the art style of the Ninjago TV show during the 'Sons of Garmadon' season.
Interesting Facts
Unlike the TV show counterpart who has a robotic face, the movie Zane uses a standard human-looking yellow head to emphasize his attempt to hide his robotic nature from peers.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five movie-version ninjas on a custom stand or on the deck of 70618 Destiny's Bounty.
Modification Potential
The black legs and silver arms are excellent for custom tactical or sci-fi soldiers; the torso can be used for arctic-themed MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly detailed minifigure that perfectly captures the tech-heavy aesthetic of the Ninjago Movie era. Highly recommended for any Ninjago enthusiast due to its affordability and print quality.
