Variants
This is the standard set version. A similar 'half-mask' variant is not known for this specific character, though torso pieces were shared among secondary crew.
Condition Notes
Watch for loose torso-to-leg connections. The silver printing on the legs is prone to rubbing off with play. The shoulder armor often develops stress marks.

Character Background
Doubloon is a member of Nadakhan’s Sky Pirates. He was originally a thief turned into a silent, two-faced stone samurai by the Djinn's wish.
Design Notes
Unique head print representing the character's 'two faces.' The torso utilized 'Skybound' thematic pirate gear mixed with scavenged ninja equipment.
Similar Minifigures
Cyren (njo194), Flintlocke (njo197), Nadakhan (njo211), and Clancee (njo191).
Collectibility
Moderate. Desirable for Ninjago completionists and pirate-themed MOC builders due to the unique color blocking.
History
Part of the 6th season of Ninjago. This figure marked a shift toward more 'steampunk' pirate aesthetics in LEGO character design.
Interesting Facts
Doubloon is one of the few Ninjago villains who never speaks, adding to his eerie, mask-like design lore.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a dark grey or sandy baseplate alongside the Raid Zeppelin or other Skybound-era vehicles.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom post-apocalyptic or seafaring pirates; the legs and torso are highly sought after for 'wasteland' style MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly-detailed 8/10 figure. It captures the scavenger-pirate aesthetic perfectly with top-tier printing and a unique color palette.
