Rarity
Uncommon; exclusive to a single set released during the NINJAGO Legacy wave in 2021.
Head
Yellow skin, dual-sided face: one with a red visor and angry grit, the back with a more menacing expression. White hair piece with a swept-back, textured style.
Torso
Pearl Gold torso with intricate black and dark gray armor printing. Features a geometric pattern and a central 'skull' or crest motif in the Legacy style. Black hands.
Legs
Black legs with printing transitioning from the torso armor. Features dark gray metallic plating and orange/gold circuit-style highlights.
Accessories
Large black shoulder armor/pauldrons (Part 21560) that wraps around the neck. Note: The example in the image is shown without his original handheld weapons (two translucent purple lightning pieces).
Color Scheme
Primary: Pearl Gold and Black. Accents: White (hair), Dark Gray (armor), and Red/Orange (visor and circuit prints).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs. Includes metallic gold/gray ink. Detail level is high, consistent with 2020s LEGO standards.
Variants
This Legacy version differs from the 2014 original (njo097) by using a standard minifigure head and hair instead of the 'Ghost-like' lower body or face-mask mold used in older iterations.
Condition Notes
Prone to scuffing on the Pearl Gold torso surface. Check for 'neck cracks' caused by the thick shoulder armor piece over time.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. New/Mint: $15.00+ USD. Individual parts value is highest for the shoulder armor and torso.
Price (New)
Released in set 71742, which retailed for $29.99 USD in 2021.

Character Background
The Overlord is the ultimate antagonist of the Ninjago series, the creator of the Stone Army and the literal darkness to the First Spinjitzu Master's light.
Design Notes
A 'humanoid' reimagining of the character for the Legacy line, moving away from his more monstrous forms seen in earlier seasons of the show.
Similar Minifigures
Overlord (njo097), Golden Master (njo108), and various Crystal King variants (njo759).
Collectibility
High demand among Ninjago completionists as it is a unique 'human' form of the series' main villain.
History
Debuted in 2021 as part of the 10th-anniversary 'Legacy' celebrations, which revisited classic Ninjago characters with modernized designs.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an ancient entity of pure evil, this is one of the few figures where the Overlord is depicted with a standard yellow 'Classic LEGO' skin tone rather than translucent or purple elements.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the Legacy Golden Lloyd or atop the 71742 Overlord Dragon. Use a dark background to make the Pearl Gold printing pop.
Modification Potential
The shoulder armor is highly sought after for MOC (My Own Creation) fantasy knights and futuristic soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking antagonist figure. While not the rarest in the theme, its status as a single-set exclusive and its high-detail printing make it a standout for collectors.
