Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja and Elemental Master of Energy. In the movie, he deals with the social stigma of being the son of the villainous Lord Garmadon.
Design Notes
Introduced the 'Movie' aesthetic for Ninjago characters, which featured more realistic hair and stylized eyes, eventually adopted by the main TV show after Season 7.
Similar Minifigures
njo315 Lloyd (Shark Suit), njo344 Lloyd (Sons of Garmadon), njo254 Lloyd (Day of the Departed).
Collectibility
Moderate. While common, he is the main protagonist of the franchise. Demand is steady among young collectors and Ninjago completionists.
History
This figure marks the shift in LEGO's design philosophy for Ninjago, moving from the 'classic' faces to the detailed 'movie' faces that define the current era.
Interesting Facts
The writing on the torso is 'Ninjargon,' a cipher for English. The symbol on his chest translates to the letter 'L'.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Secret Ninja Force members from the 2017 movie series on a tiered stand or within the Destiny's Bounty set.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom fantasy warriors or dark-themed ninja MOCs. The black kimono is a versatile piece for purist customs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed minifigure that perfectly captures the character's cinematic appearance. Highly recommended for fans of the film, though not a high-value investment piece.
