Year Released
2019 - Debuted with the first wave of Ninjago Legacy, reimagining early Ninjago character designs using modern printing and molding standards.
Rarity
Common - This figure was widely available across several sets and polybags during the 2019-2020 production window.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with green eyes, determined expression, and black eyebrows. Dual-sided printing with a secondary aggressive/shouting face. Topped with a green wrap-around ninja headgear piece with a metallic silver emblem on the forehead.
Torso
Green Gi with dark green accents, featuring a gold 'Lion'/'Dragon' crest on the chest and a dark brown wrap-around sash/belt print. Dark green arms with black hands.
Legs
Standard bright green legs with black hip printing that continues the belt/sash aesthetic from the torso. No side or foot printing.
Accessories
Typically packaged with a silver katana or a golden DAO sword (though none are held in the user image). The dual-mold headgear is its primary defining accessory.
Color Scheme
Bright green and dark green core with metallic silver accents on the mask and gold on the torso crest.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and face. The alignment is consistent with 2019 manufacturing standards, featuring crisp lines on the gold crest.
Variants
There are dozens of Lloyd variants; this 'Legacy' version differs from the 2011/2012 originals by having updated green eyes and more detailed torso shading.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks on the torso sides (under arms) and teeth marks on the headgear. The gold printing on the chest is durable but can fade with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $3.00 - $5.00 USD; New: $6.00 - $9.00 USD. Low individual value due to high saturation in the market.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $9.99 (Spinners/Polybags) to $160.00 (Monastery of Spinjitzu).
Compatible Sets
70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu, 70667 Kai's Blade Cycle & Zane's Snowmobile, 30534 Ninja Workout (Polybag).
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the son of Lord Garmadon and the Chosen One (the Green Ninja). This figure represents him in his 'Legacy' outfit, celebrating the show's early history.
Design Notes
The mask is a move away from the original 2-piece fabric wraps to a more structural, durable plastic mold introduced in the LEGO Ninjago Movie era.
Similar Minifigures
njo110 (Original ZX Lloyd), njo312 (Movie Lloyd), njo708 (Golden Anniversary Lloyd).
Collectibility
Moderate. While common, it is a core character and essential for fans completing the 'Legacy' ninja roster. Not a high-yield investment piece.
History
Lloyd was originally introduced as a child in 2011; this 2019 version reflects his growth and the aesthetic overhaul the theme underwent for 'Legacy' re-releases.
Interesting Facts
Despite being the Green Ninja, he started as a villainous child character; this specific torso print is a HD remaster of his second-ever ninja outfit.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Legacy Ninja in a line-up. Looks best when paired with the 70670 Monastery set or a custom golden baseplate.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs (My Own Creations) regarding forest elves or generic green knights due to the versatile dark green arm color.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-defining minifigure. While not rare, the printing quality and character significance make it a fundamental piece of modern Ninjago history.
