Collectibility
Moderate; essential for army building the Possession wave, which remains a fan-favorite Ninjago era.

Interesting Facts
The Trans-Neon Green plastic used for the legs and head is highly reactive to UV light and glows brightly under a blacklight.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a dark or backlit stand to emphasize the transparent light-pipe effect of the head and legs.
Modification Potential
Excellent for spectral MOCs; legs are frequently used by customizers to create 'elemental' or 'powered-up' minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking troop-builder with great play value due to the unique transparent parts; a staple of the Possession series.
