Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2015. This figure debuted in the Tournament of Elements wave, coinciding with the fourth season of the Ninjago TV series. This era marked a shift toward more intricate, tribal printing for antagonist factions.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not as rare as some store exclusives, this specific version of Skylor appeared in only one mid-sized set, making her harder to find than the ninja protagonists of the same year.
Head
The head is an elongated, molded snake-head piece in orange. It features sand green and metallic silver detailing with reptilian eyes. This piece covers the neck area and is specifically molded to represent the Fire Viper/Snake aesthetic adopted by the Cult of Chen.
Torso
The torso is dark stone gray with orange arms and orange hands. The printing features intricate tribal motifs, including a sand green serpent design, metallic silver armor plating, and brown straps and belts. Back printing continues the metallic armor and belt detailing.
Legs
Standard orange legs with printing on the front. The design includes sand green scales and metallic silver knee plating, continuing the serpentine armor theme from the torso.
Accessories
In its original set, the figure typically comes with a jade blade (neon green) or a crossbow. The figure in the image is missing its original hand-held weapons.
Color Scheme
The primary color is Bright Orange, accented with Dark Stone Gray, Sand Green, and Metallic Silver detailing. This reflects the 'Fire' elemental alignment of the character while she served the Cultists.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing. The metallic silver is particularly vibrant and well-aligned. Printing is present on the front and back of the torso, as well as the front of the legs and the specialized head mold.
Variants
There are several versions of Skylor, including her 'Yellow/Amber Ninja' suit (njo130) and her hunted 'Resistance' outfit. This 'Fire Snake' version is unique because it represents her under the influence/disguise of Chen's cult.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the rubbery tip of the snake head (if present on some versions) and torso cracks on the sides. The metallic silver printing on the legs often rubs off with play. Check for teeth marks on the head mold.
Estimated Value
The estimated market value for a used complete figure is approximately $8.00 - $12.00 USD. In new/mint condition, it can reach $15.00 - $20.00 USD.
Price (New)
This figure was included in set 70746 (Condrai Copter Attack), which originally retailed for $29.99 in 2015.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Skylor Chen is the Elemental Master of Amber and the daughter of Master Chen. In this form, she is disguised as one of her father's serpentine foot soldiers during the Tournament of Elements before later siding with the Ninja.
Design Notes
The head mold is the standout feature; it is a specialized 'Constrictai' or 'Anacondrai' style mold repurposed for the elemental masters' cultist disguises. This piece does not rotate like a standard head.
Similar Minifigures
Master Chen (njo117), Eyezor (njo116), and other Anacondrai cultists from the 2015 wave share the reptilian aesthetic and color palette.
Collectibility
Moderate. She is a core character in Ninjago lore, and collector demand is stable. She is particularly desirable for those looking to complete the 'Elemental Masters' collection.
History
Skylor was introduced in 2015 as a love interest for Kai and a complex anti-hero. Her design has shifted from antagonist cultist to a key ally in the 'Hunted' and 'Crystalized' seasons.
Interesting Facts
Despite her orange color scheme, her element is Amber. This specific 'Fire Snake' outfit was meant to help her blend in with Chen's fake Anacondrai army.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Kai (Master of Fire) or inside a Master Chen's temple MOC. UV protection is recommended as orange and silver are prone to fading and oxidation over decades.
Modification Potential
The head piece is highly sought after for fantasy MOCs involving Yuan-ti or lizard-folk. The torso/leg combination is excellent for custom tribal or post-apocalyptic warriors.
Overall Assessment
A solid 7/10 for design and 6/10 for rarity. It is an essential figure for Ninjago completionists due to Skylor's importance to the TV show's narrative.
