Rarity
Uncommon. He was available in three sets during the Skybound wave, making him accessible but currently out of production for over seven years.
Head
Dual-sided printing on yellow head. One side features a menacing black and gold Oni-style mask with a jagged grin, the other a similar scowling expression. He wears a dark green turban/wrap headpiece.
Torso
Dark green and dark red vest over orange arms with dark brown hands. Features a gold 'Sky Pirates' skull-and-crossbones emblem and silver buckle details.
Legs
Detailed printing on dark brown and orange legs. Features green knee pads, silver buckles, and orange boots with intricate mechanical/strapped detailing.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally came with two dark silver katanas and can be seen with various pirate-themed weaponry depending on the set.
Color Scheme
A complex palette of Dark Green, Dark Red, Orange, and Dark Brown, accented by Gold and Silver printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including detailed torso (front and back) and front-of-leg printing. The level of detail reflects the peak of the Ninjago Skybound aesthetic.
Variants
There are no major physical design variants of this specific character, though his headpiece is sometimes swapped by collectors with standard pirate hats for custom builds.
Condition Notes
The orange arm printing and dark green torso are prone to torso cracks under the arms. The silver printing on the legs can wear away with heavy play.

Character Background
Doubloon is a member of Nadakhan's Sky Pirates. According to Ninjago lore, he was once a master thief who was cursed and turned into a silent, two-faced silent general after trying to steal from the Djinn.
Design Notes
The face print is the standout feature, utilizing an 'Oni' aesthetic that would later become a major plot point in Ninjago seasons. The use of mismatched leg colors (Dark Brown/Orange) highlights his patchwork pirate nature.
Similar Minifigures
Clancee, Flintlocke, Monkey Wretch, and other Sky Pirates from the 2016 wave.
Collectibility
Moderate. He is essential for completing the 'Skybound' villain roster, which is a fan-favorite era of Ninjago, but he is not as rare as Nadakhan himself.
History
Introduced during the 6th season of Ninjago (Skybound). This era marked a shift toward more steampunk-inspired pirate designs compared to earlier serpentine or ghost themes.
Interesting Facts
Despite having two faces, the character never speaks in the animated series, only communicating through gestures and growls.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a clear bricks-built stand to mimic a flying pose, or placed on the 'Raid Zeppelin' set (70603) alongside other Sky Pirates.
Modification Potential
The head and turban are excellent for custom 'Eastern' style warriors or fantasy D&D-style assassins.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly-detailed antagonist figure. While not a 'grail' for investors, his unique dual-sided face print and vibrant color palette make him a standout mid-tier Ninjago collectible.
