Rarity
Uncommon. While not as rare as limited-release figures, this specific 'Battle Scarred' variant was only included in two sets during the 2014 Rebooted wave.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with gray 'nindroid' robot eyes and silver metallic damage on the right cheek. Covered by a white wrap-around ninja mask with a black ice symbol.
Torso
White ninja robes with black and silver tech-armor printing. Features a radio or sensor device on the chest and Ninjargon script on the lapel. Black hands and white arms.
Legs
White hips and legs with silver and black tech-belt and knee armor printing. Features horizontal grey lines representing robotic joints.
Accessories
Includes a black quiver on the back. The full set version originally came with a silver techno-blade weapon or a bow, though the base figure is identified by the quiver attachment.
Color Scheme
Primary white with black and metallic silver accents, reflecting his status as the Titanium Ninja/Nindroid of Ice.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). Notable for the asymmetric 'battle scar' on the head hidden under the mask and the detailed techno-belt.
Variants
Standard Zane (njo091) lacks the scarred head; Titanium Zane (njo127) features an all-silver body; DX, ZX, and Kimono versions from earlier seasons use different robe designs.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver/metallic ink rubbing off the torso and head. White plastic is susceptible to yellowing if exposed to sunlight. Check for cracks in the heels or torso sides.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $12 - $18 USD; New/Mint: $25+ USD. Parts (quiver/head) total roughly $5-8.

Compatible Sets
70724 NinjaCopter, 70726 Destructoid.
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (Ninja-Droid). In the Rebooted season, he discovers his robotic nature is vital to stopping the Digital Overlord, eventually sacrificing himself.
Design Notes
This version represents a mid-evolution step between his 'human' appearance and his full 'Titanium' form. It uses the second-generation Ninjago mask mold.
Similar Minifigures
njo091 Zane (Robobe), njo127 Zane (Titanium), njo031 Zane (ZX).
Collectibility
High demand for Ninjago completionists as this is the definitive 'damaged' version of Zane from one of the most popular story arcs.
History
Follows the pivot of Ninjago from fantasy into sci-fi in 2014. It marks the first time Zane's robotic identity was heavily integrated into the physical print of the head piece.
Interesting Facts
The Ninjargon characters on his chest roughly translate to the letter 'Z'. The scarring on the head is often missed by casual collectors because it is partially obscured by the wrap.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Rebooted ninja (Kai, Jay, Cole) in their techno-robes, or inside the 70724 NinjaCopter cockpit.
Modification Potential
The head is popular for 'cyborg' or 'android' MOCs. The white wrap is a staple part for any custom white ninja or arctic explorer.
Overall Assessment
9/10 for design and character significance. It is a standout figure for its era due to the unique head printing and the lore-heavy design.
