Rarity
Uncommon. While not extremely rare, he only appeared in two sets from a specific wave that had a relatively short shelf life compared to core legacy sets.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with dual-sided printing: one determined expression and one angry/concentrating expression. It includes green eyes, a signature trait for the character. Features the Wrap with Bright Green Headband and Lloyd's symbol (Gold Ninja script).
Torso
Black torso with green and lime green lightning/energy patterns. The design features sand-green accents and a gold buckle. It includes a green Ninjago script on the left chest. Arms are solid black with bright green hands.
Legs
Black legs with green and gold printing. The print continues the robe/belt design from the torso down onto the hips and the front of the legs. No side printing is present.
Accessories
Usually paired with a silver or gold katana or the 'Bolas' weapon featured in 'The Island' sets. This specific figure is missing the shoulder armor/scabbard and hairpiece usually found in larger sets.
Color Scheme
Primary Colors: Black and Bright Green. Accents: Lime Green, Sand Green, and Metallic Gold. This reflects Lloyd's 'Energy' elemental power.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The lightning effect on the torso is vibrant and utilizes multiple shades of green. Detailed belt and robe patterns on the legs align well with the torso print.
Variants
There are dozens of Lloyd variants. This specific 'Island' version is distinct due to the camo-like green energy patterns and the unique headband mask.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the 'chin' area of the wrap mask and the neck post. The gold printing on the belt can sometimes rub off with heavy play. Look for hairline cracks on the back of the torso or heels.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Elemental Master of Energy and leader of the Ninja. In 'The Island' season, the team travels to a mysterious island to find Master Wu and Misako, adopting jungle-appropriate gear.
Design Notes
This version uses a more 'tactical' look than previous seasons, moving away from traditional Gi robes toward a stylized jungle survival aesthetic with lightning motifs.
Similar Minifigures
njo635 Kai (The Island), njo638 Jay (The Island), and njo633 Cole (The Island). Similar to other Lloyd verson but with unique camouflage printing.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is essential for fans completing the Season 14 team, but Lloyd has many more 'valuable' versions (like the Golden Ninja or Movie variants).
History
Released during the 10th anniversary of Ninjago. It represents the evolution of Lloyd from a child to a fully developed leader with complex high-detail printing standards of the 2020s.
Interesting Facts
The symbol on his headband and chest is 'L' in the Ninjago Alphabet. This is one of the few Lloyd figures where black is the dominant color over green for the torso/legs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the other three 'Island' Ninja on a foliage-heavy baseplate. Use a clear 1x2 brick to simulate a jumping pose.
Modification Potential
The black/green torso is very popular for 'Black Panther' or 'Green Lantern' custom MOCs. The head is easily swapped for various hairpieces to represent civilian Lloyd.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed figure from a unique sub-theme. While not a high-ticket investment piece, it is a high-quality representation of the character with excellent print work.
