Year Released
Released in 2014, appearing specifically in the Battle for Ninjago City set (70728). This era focused on more technical designs and dual-scabbard armor.
Rarity
Uncommon. While Lloyd is a main character, this specific variation was only included in one large, expensive set, making it more desirable than the standard Rebooted or Techno versions.
Head
Standard yellow head with green eyes and 'determined' eyebrows. It features a green wrap-around ninja cowl piece (part 98133) with a silver metallic forehead emblem.
Torso
Green torso with a 'Stone Armor' design. Features dark green robes with black belt, detailed mesh/chainmail texture under-layer, and silver accents. It includes a back neck bracket for the dual scabbard accessory.
Legs
Green legs with printed black and dark green robe extensions, continuing the belt and flap design from the torso. The hips are solid green.
Accessories
Equipped with a dual katana holder (dark stone grey) on the back. It typically carries one pearl gold katana and one silver/flat silver katana. Small hand-held daggers are also often included.
Color Scheme
Primary Green and Dark Green, accented with Black, Pearl Gold, and Flat Silver. This represents his role as the Golden Ninja returning to his Green Ninja roots.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and legs (front). The detail includes fine lines for the mesh armor and silver metallic ink for the ninja symbol on the belt.
Variants
Lloyd has numerous variants; this 'Stone Armor' version is distinct from the 'Techno Robe' version (njo085) and the 'Kimono' version (njo073) found in earlier waves.
Condition Notes
The most common wear points are silver paint rub on the headpiece emblem and stress marks on the side of the torso from the scabbard bracket. Micro-cracking beneath the arms is possible.
Estimated Value
Used: $12 - $18 USD. New: $25 - $35 USD. Prices vary based on the tightness of the joints and the crispness of the silver headpiece printing.
Price (New)
Included in set 70728 which retailed for $119.99 in 2014. It was not available as a single-purchase polybag or CMF.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Elemental Master of Energy and son of Garmadon. In the 'Rebooted' season, the ninja fought the Overlord and the Nindroid army with upgraded armor and weapons.
Design Notes
This design utilizes the 'Armor' aesthetic which bridges the gap between the classic cloth robes and the highly futuristic 'Techno' suits. It is an evolution of his 'Green Ninja' identity.
Similar Minifigures
njo085 (Lloyd - Rebooted), njo105 (Lloyd - Tournament), and njo128 (Lloyd - Jungle).
Collectibility
High. Ninjago collectors prioritize Lloyd variations, and the 'Stone Armor' is often cited as one of the better-detailed designs from the early 'middle' era of the theme.
History
First introduced in 2011 as a child, Lloyd evolved into the Green Ninja. This 2014 version represents a pivotal moment in the show's lore when he gave up his Golden Power.
Interesting Facts
The scabbard piece used here was fairly new in 2014 and allowed figures to hold two swords at an angle, a significant shift from the vertical single-sword clips.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a Ninjago-themed display case alongside other 'Rebooted' era ninja (Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole) in their respective Stone or Techno armors.
Modification Potential
The green armor torso is a popular base for 'purist' custom builds of other green-clad characters like Green Arrow or custom forest rangers.
Overall Assessment
9/10 for design and role in the lore. A must-have for Ninjago completionists due to its exclusive appearance in the 70728 set.
