Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2015. Included in set 70748 Titanium Dragon. This era marked a shift to flesh-colored/specialized skin tones for the Ninjago team.
Rarity
Uncommon. Exclusive to a single mid-range set during the Season 4 wave. Not as rare as some comic-con exclusives, but highly sought after by completionists.
Head
Flat Silver Head with light blue eyes and mechanical circuitry smile. Features a custom pearl dark gray flat-top hair piece designed specifically for his robot/nindroid form.
Torso
White torso with black/gray prisoner stripes. Features a torn fabric print revealing Zane's 'Titanium' mechanical chest core and the number 706 on the right side.
Legs
Plain black legs. Standard hip piece. No printing on the legs for this specific variant.
Accessories
In the original set, he was equipped with a silver chain (handcuffs). The figure in the image is missing the chain accessory.
Color Scheme
A monochromatic palette of White, Black, Flat Silver, and Light Bluish Gray, reflective of his 'Prisoner' status and robotic nature.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The chest detail showing the nindroid core is exceptionally sharp, featuring gold and blue mechanical accents within the tear.
Variants
There are many versions of Zane. This specific 'Prisoner' variant differs from the standard 'Titanium' (njo139) by the presence of the prison stripes and the exposed chest core.
Condition Notes
The silver ink on the head is prone to rubbing off over time. Check for 'cracking' on the torso sides (white plastic). The hair piece is quite durable.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD. New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. The value has remained relatively stable as a niche variant.
Price (New)
Retail $39.99 (Set 70748). This was one of three minifigures included in that set.

Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid. During the Tournament of Elements, he was held captive by Master Chen after sacrificing himself in the previous season and rebuilding himself into his Titanium form.
Design Notes
Uses the newer Ninjago head mold for Zane. The 'Prisoner' torso is a unique blend of City-style prison garb and sci-fi mechanical detailing.
Similar Minifigures
Titanium Zane (njo139), Prison Outfit Kai (njo134), Prison Outfit Jay (njo135).
Collectibility
Moderate. Essential for fans of the 'Tournament of Elements' season. Part of the 'Prisoner' sub-collection of the main cast.
History
Initially released in early 2015. This was the first set to feature Zane following his 'death' in the Rebooted season, introducing the Titanium aesthetic that defined his character for years.
Interesting Facts
The number '706' on his chest is likely a reference to set 706, a 1970s LEGO set, or more commonly interpreted as shorthand for Ninjago's zip-code-style easter eggs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a brick-built jail cell or alongside the 70748 Titanium Dragon. Looks great next to the Titanium Zane version to show his evolution.
Modification Potential
The head and hair are popular for custom 'Cyborg' or 'Silver Surfer' MOCs. The torso can be used for custom dystopian sci-fi prisoner figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, character-specific variant with great storytelling in the print design. A 7/10 for collectors, primarily for its unique chest printing.
