Year Released
2022. It debuted in the 'Ninjago: Crystalized' wave, representing the final season of the original Ninjago series run. This era was marked by the introduction of translucent 'overmolded' elements to represent crystal corruption and power infusions.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While Nya is a main protagonist, this specific version was released in widely available retail sets of the 2022 wave. It is not a limited exclusive, but it holds value as a core character in her season-specific crystalized armor.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone. Features Nya's updated face print with a slight, confident smirk and eyelashes. The headgear is a Flat Silver Samurai helmet (reminiscent of her Samurai X persona) with a Trans-Light Blue crystal crest molded on top.
Torso
Dark Red base with detailed Dark Brown and Silver samurai armor plate printing. The top of the torso features a striking Trans-Light Blue 'crystalized' ice-effect collar print. The left arm is Trans-Light Blue, while the right arm is Dark Red; hands are Black.
Legs
Gunmetal Grey (Pearl Dark Grey) with printing that continues the Dark Red samurai plate aesthetic. Includes Trans-Light Blue crystal/shard detailing at the knees to match the torso and headgear.
Accessories
In the image, she is holding a Pearl Gold hilt or bar element (often used as part of a custom weapon or spear). In official sets, she commonly carries a Pearl Gold katana or trident. The translucent blue crystalline armor pieces on the helmet and arm are the standout accessories.
Color Scheme
A complex mix of Dark Red, Pearl Dark Grey, and Trans-Light Blue. The use of translucent blue as an accent represents both her elemental power over water and the 'crystalized' narrative theme.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and front of the legs. The alignment is modern and precise. The dual-colored arms (one solid, one translucent) are a highlight of modern LEGO manufacturing techniques.
Variants
There are several versions of Nya from the Crystalized wave, including her 'Dragon Form' (njo769) which is significantly more golden and translucent. This version (njo763) is the more 'grounded' samurai-armored variant.
Condition Notes
The Pearl Dark Grey plastic is resistant to yellowing, but the Trans-Light Blue arm is made of polycarbonate which can be more prone to cracking at the wrist socket if handled roughly. Check for 'play wear' on the helmet crest points.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. Value is stable as the Crystalized wave is relatively recent but popular among Ninjago completists.
Price (New)
This figure appeared in sets ranging from the $34.99 (Nya's Samurai X MECH) to the $89.99 (Zane's Golden Dragon Jet) and $449.99 (NINJAGO City Gardens, though this specific ID is primarily from the Crystalized vehicle sets).
Compatible Sets
71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH, 71770 Zane's Golden Dragon Jet, and 112304 (Ninjago Magazine Gift).
Character Background
Nya is the Elemental Master of Water and the sister of Kai. During the Crystalized season, she battles to regain her physical form and powers after merging with the ocean, eventually re-adopting her Samurai X identity to fight the Crystal King's army.
Design Notes
This design successfully bridges Nya's two identities: the Samurai X armor styling and the elemental blue water/ice aesthetics. The use of a translucent arm was a bold design choice to show the character's partial transformation.
Similar Minifigures
njo769 (Golden Dragon Nya), njo754 (Samurai X), and other 'Crystalized' ninja variants like njo764 (Kai) and njo771 (Lloyd).
Collectibility
High for Ninjago fans. As Nya is the only female member of the core team, her 'Samurai' variants are always highly sought after. This figure marks a significant narrative point in her character arc.
History
Nya first appeared as a civilian in 2011. She evolved into Samurai X, then the Water Ninja. The 2022 Crystalized design represents a 'return to roots' by merging the Samurai tech with her elemental traits.
Interesting Facts
This minifigure's helmet mold is a specialized version of the original 1998 Shogun helmet, updated with a specific attachment point for the crystal shard crest introduced for this wave.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Ninja in their Crystalized suits to showcase the 'Vengestone' conflict. Looks best under cool-white LED lighting to make the Trans-Blue arm and helmet crest 'glow'.
Modification Potential
The translucent blue arm is a favorite for MOC-builders (My Own Creations) to create cyborgs, ice-themed heroes, or magical characters. The samurai armor parts are highly useful for castle-themed customs.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and well-engineered minifigure. It earns an 8/10 for design uniqueness due to the dual-material arm and helmet. It is an essential piece for any modern Ninjago collection.
