Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2021 (Included in The Island sets)
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While specific to one sub-theme wave, he appeared in multiple retail sets making him relatively accessible to Ninjago fans during the 2021 production cycle.
Head
Yellow head with two expressions: one determined/angry face and one wide grinning face (shown in image). Features blue lightning scars/markings under the eyes. Topped with a dark brown messy hairpiece (Part 62696).
Torso
White sleeveless gi featuring a blue swirl pattern resembling waves or lightning. Includes a printed tan rope belt and a small Ninjago script logo on the left chest. Yellow arms and blue hands.
Legs
White hips and legs with printing that continues the blue swirl pattern and tan rope wraps around the shins. No side printing.
Accessories
Typically packaged with a silver katana or a spear-like weapon with a lightning bolt tip. The version in the image is missing its primary weapon accessories.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are White, Blue, and Yellow, with Brown hair and Tan accents for the rope belt. This reflects Jay's core identity as the Master of Lightning while adapting to the beach/island setting.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and front of the legs. The alignment transition from the torso to the hips is generally consistent, though the swirl pattern is complex.
Variants
Jay has dozens of variants; this specific 'Island' version differs from the 'Seabound' scuba version (njo700) and the 'Legacy' versions which use his classic blue ninja suit.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to discoloration/yellowing if exposed to UV. Common wear points include the blue hand clips (cracking) and the friction on the neck peg. The brown hairpiece is durable but can show bite marks easily.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New/Mint: $6.00 - $8.00 USD. Value is stable as he was widely available in multiple sets.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from the $19.99 (Jungle Dragon) to $49.99 (Catamaran Sea Battle). This figure was not sold individually.
Compatible Sets
71746 Jungle Dragon, 71747 The Keepers' Village, and 71748 Catamaran Sea Battle.
Character Background
Jay Walker (born Jay Gordon) is the Elemental Master of Lightning. In 'The Island' arc, the ninja travel to a mysterious island to find Master Wu and Misako, adapting their gear for a tropical, primitive environment.
Design Notes
This design marks a departure from full-body suits, using a sleeveless robe to emphasize the 'Island' survival aesthetic. The blue swirl pattern is one of the more artistic prints for the character.
Similar Minifigures
Island Lloyd (njo658), Island Kai (njo659), Island Zane (njo661), and Island Cole (njo663).
Collectibility
Moderate. Vital for fans completing the Season 14 team, but currently has low investment growth due to the high volume of sets it appeared in.
History
Jay has been a staple since 2011. The Island wave was a transitional sub-theme leading into the major 'Seabound' underwater season, showcasing unique aesthetic risks for the character designs.
Interesting Facts
The blue markings on Jay's face are actually lightning scars he received in earlier seasons, but they are stylized here to look like island face paint.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the 'Jungle Dragon' set or with the other five ninja figures from the same Wave 14 sub-theme on a sand-colored baseplate.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are very popular for 'Casual Jay' MOCs. The white/blue torso is frequently used for custom beach-themed or martial arts characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid, aesthetically pleasing variant of a core character. While not rare, the unique 'Island' printing makes it a standout for fans of the show's later seasons.
