Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While easily obtained during the wave's production, it is specific to this sub-theme's unique tribal aesthetic.
Head
Dual-sided face print with green eyes; one side features a determined smirk, the other a battle-ready scowl. Wears a Dark Green wrap-around bandana headband piece with Lloyd's signature blonde hair at the crown.
Torso
Dark Green torso with a unique tribal/jungle print featuring tan straps, silver buckles, and Lloyd’s signature energy symbol. Arms are Olive Green with Dark Green hands.
Legs
Dark Green hips and legs with printing that match the torso's tribal motif, including tan wrapping and a printed fabric loincloth effect on the front.
Accessories
Typically comes with two silver or pearl gold katanas. In this specific image, he is piloting the Titan Mech which includes a large gold dao blade and a small gold katana.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Green, Olive Green, and Tan, emphasizing the camouflaged jungle camouflage theme of the Island wave.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and legs (front). Features sharp lines and accurate alignment representative of modern high-standard LEGO Ninjago printing.
Variants
This specific 'The Island' version is one of many Lloyd variants; it differs from the Legacy, Core, or Movie versions by its distinct tribal markings and olive green color palette.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck area (cracking under arms) and the friction on the leg pins. The hair/headband piece is durable plastic and rarely shows wear.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New/Mint: $7.00 - $10.00 USD. The value is relatively stable as many units were produced across multiple sets.
Price (New)
N/A (Included in sets retailing for $19.99 to $39.99). As a CMF-style figure in a standard set, his individual retail value was approximately $4.00 at launch.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon is the Green Ninja and leader of the team. In 'The Island' season, the ninja travel to a mysterious island to find Master Wu and Misako, adopting tribal-inspired gear for survival.
Design Notes
Significant for moving away from the standard bright green 'GI' aesthetic to a more muted, survivalist dark/olive green color scheme. The bandana piece is a masterclass in dual-molding textures.
Similar Minifigures
Island Kai (njo637), Island Jay (njo640), Island Nya (njo636), and Legacy Lloyd versions.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors aiming for a 'Full Lloyd' collection or a complete set of 'The Island' ninja require this figure, but it is not a high-ticket investment piece.
History
Follows the evolution of Lloyd from the 'Child' version to the 'Movie Look' adopted since 2017. This 2021 release represents the 14th season of the show's attire.
Interesting Facts
The headband includes the Ninjago script that translates to the character's initial. This specific image shows him as the pilot for a custom MOC or modified Titan Mech.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the Jungle Dragon set or in a custom jungle-themed diorama. Pairs perfectly with the other three 'Island' ninja to showcase the matching camouflage.
Modification Potential
The Olive Green arms and tribal torso are highly sought after for MOC makers creating forest-dwelling characters, Elves, or post-apocalyptic survivors.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed variant of a lead character. Highly recommended for fans of the 'The Island' aesthetic, though common enough that it doesn't represent a major financial investment.
