Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2018 (First appeared in the eighth season of the Ninjago TV show wave)
Rarity
Uncommon. While she appeared in a medium-priced set, the specific combination of the Oni Mask and specialized shoulder armor makes this version harder to complete than generic henchmen.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features a smirking expression with purple markings around the eyes, the other shows an angry expression. In the image, she is wearing the trans-orange Oni Mask of Hatred over the head.
Torso
Black torso with intricate silver and dark-red armor plating over a purple undersuit. Design includes the Sons of Garmadon logo on the back. Black arms and black hands.
Legs
Black legs with silver, dark-red, and purple printing continuing the heavy plating design from the torso; including knee pad details.
Accessories
Includes the Stone Armor/Pauldrons in Pearl Gold (piece 27154) and the trans-orange Oni Mask of Hatred. Typically paired with a silver katana or a mace in official sets (missing in photo).
Color Scheme
Primary Black and Dark Red, with Pearl Gold armor accents and Transparent Orange for the mask. Purple hints are present to denote the character's identity.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The mask features molded detail with minimal surface printing to allow the translucency to shine through.
Variants
There are versions of Ultra Violet without the Oni mask (njo405) and a version from the 'Ninjago Legacy' line (njo493) with slightly different torso highlights.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the clips on the gold shoulder armor (which can stress) and the printing on the toes of the legs. The Oni mask's transparent plastic can show scratches easily.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $12.00 - $18.00 / New (parted from set): $22.00 - $30.00. The market value is driven largely by the unique Oni Mask element.

Character Background
Ultra Violet is a high-ranking member of the Sons of Garmadon, a criminal biker gang dedicated to resurrecting Lord Garmadon. She is known for her chaotic personality and her hunt for the three Oni Masks.
Design Notes
The Oni Mask piece was a significant mold innovation for the 2018 wave, designed to fit over a standard minifigure head while allowing the eyes of the figure underneath to remain visible.
Similar Minifigures
Mr. E (njo399), Killow (njo402), and Harumi (njo403) - all fellow members of the Sons of Garmadon who use Oni Masks.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. Collectors of the 'Sons of Garmadon' arc specifically seek out the three distinct Oni Mask figures to complete the 'Mask' collection.
History
Ultra Violet represented a shift toward more 'punk-rock' aesthetic villains in Ninjago, marking a transition from elemental monsters to an urban biker aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
The Oni Mask of Hatred represents one of the three masks required to perform the ritual to bring back Garmadon in his pure Oni form.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other two Oni Masks (Blue and Purple) on a dedicated shelf or within a 'Sons of Garmadon' biker gang MOC.
Modification Potential
The Oni Mask is highly popular for 'Custom' fantasy or demon minifigures. The gold pauldrons are frequently used in Castle/Fantasy MOCs.
Overall Assessment
This is a standout villain from one of Ninjago's most popular story arcs. The figure in the photo is missing its hairpiece but includes the vital Oni Mask and Gold armor, making it a highly desirable piece for any Ninjago enthusiast.
