Year Released
2016 - Debuted in the initial launch of the Nexo Knights theme across multiple sets.
Rarity
Common. This figure was mass-produced as an army-builder, appearing in six different sets during the first year of the theme.
Head
Red head with yellow eyes, sharp white fangs, and black facial markings including an angry expression. It is a single-sided print and was shared among various Ash Attack variants.
Torso
Dark Stone Grey (Dark Bluish Gray) torso with red arms and black hands. Features detailed printing of jagged, lava-like organic armor in shades of grey and black.
Legs
Black legs with Dark Stone Grey hip piece. Printing features matching jagged plate armor on the front of the legs that continues the aesthetic from the torso.
Accessories
Typically comes with various monster weapons like a jagged sword or spear (missing in image). Some sets included a translucent orange 'fire' element or a black helmet.
Color Scheme
A demonic palette of bright red, black, and dark bluish gray, designed to represent the 'Lava Monster' army of Jestro.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of mid-2010s LEGO. Details include plate-like armor texture and chain-link motifs on the torso and upper legs.
Variants
There are several variants including nex005 (with black armor instead of grey) and nex025 (with different leg printing). This specific version is nex006.
Condition Notes
Prone to hairline cracks on the torso sides (under arms) and looseness in the arms from frequent accessory changes. The black hands of this era are generally durable.
Estimated Value
Used: $1.50 - $3.00 USD. New/Unassembled: $4.00 - $6.00 USD. Value is low due to high production volume.
Price (New)
Associated with sets ranging from $9.99 (Ultimate sets) to $119.99 (Fortrex).
Compatible Sets
70313 Moltor's Lava Smasher, 70315 Clay's Rumble Blade, 70317 The Fortrex, 70323 Jestro's Volcano Lair, and others.
Character Background
A foot soldier in Jestro’s 'Book of Monsters' army. They are magical lava-born creatures summoned to wreak havoc across the kingdom of Knighton.
Design Notes
The use of red skin tones was a departure from standard yellow, emphasizing the non-human/monstrous nature of the Nexo Knights villains.
Similar Minifigures
Crust Smasher (nex004), Flame Thrower (nex009), and Ash Attacker with different armor configurations.
Collectibility
Low to moderate. Popular for MOC (My Own Creation) builders who create lava dioramas or fantasy armies, but not a high-earner for investors.
History
Represents the 'Lava Monster' phase of Nexo Knights (Year 1), before the theme transitioned to Stone Monsters and then Cyber/Tech infections.
Interesting Facts
The design was inspired by 'lava-corrupted' fantasy tropes, blending medieval knight aesthetics with volcanic textures.
Display Suggestions
Looks best when grouped in ranks to form an army. Pairs well with the 'Globlin' bricks or the larger Jestro figure.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom Orcs, demons, or fantasy creatures due to the red skin and neutral-but-detailed black/grey armor legs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed army-builder figure that perfectly captures the whimsical yet dark aesthetic of the Nexo Knights theme. Affordable for any collector.
