Year Released
2015 - Debuted in the LEGO Ninjago character lineup for the fourth season of the TV show.
Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was fairly easy to obtain during the 2015 wave but has since seen a steady increase in rarity as it has not been re-released in this specific configuration.
Head
Bright Light Orange color, featuring an angry expression with furrowed brow and white pupils. It lacks dual printing on the back.
Torso
Bright Light Orange torso with a muscular definition print on the front. It features a green sash/belt design. Arms are matching Bright Light Orange with brown hands.
Legs
Transparent Neon Orange / Red Translucent Spirit/Ghost leg piece. This specialized lower body part mimics a swirling smoke or ghostly trail rather than traditional legs.
Accessories
Standard versions include a hook piece or a chain with a blade, representing the ghost's weapons from the show. The hook in the image appears to be a separate hand-held attachment.
Color Scheme
Dominantly Bright Light Orange with Transparent Neon Orange accents and minor green/brown highlights on the belt and hands.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front torso and facial features. Minimal printing on the back to accommodate the 'spirit' aesthetic.
Variants
Variants exist within the Ninjago 'Ghost' waves (like Season 5 Possession), but this specific yellow-orange muscle variant is unique to the Fire Spirit/Anacondrai-focused wave.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include scratches on the transparent leg piece and torso cracks. Transparent LEGO plastic can be more brittle than solid colors over time.
Estimated Value
$4.00 - $7.00 for used complete; $10.00+ for new/mint collectors.
Price (New)
N/A - Originally included in sets ranging from $19.99 to $99.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
70753 Lava Falls; 70749 Enter the Serpent.
Character Background
These are common foot soldiers or spectral manifestations appearing during the Tournament of Elements, representing the elemental powers and souls trapped by Master Chen.
Design Notes
The use of the transparent ghost-leg mold (first introduced around this era) was a revolutionary step away from the standard minifigure blocky legs for ethereal characters.
Similar Minifigures
Morro (Ghost variant), Bansha, Ghoultar, and Soul Archer (all utilize the same 'spirit leg' mold).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for completionist Ninjago fans but doesn't command the high prices of named characters or main villains.
History
Launched during Ninjago's 'rebooted' era expansion, marking a transition toward more diverse and specialized piece molds for standard enemies.
Interesting Facts
The 'Spirit Leg' piece is one of the few LEGO pieces that is dual-molded with two different types of plastic (translucent and solid) in certain variants.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent stand or within a Ninjago-themed temple or volcano MOC to catch light through the translucent lower body.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom fantasy MOCs, specifically for fire elementals, lava spirits, or djinns.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed enemy figure. The standout feature is the translucent lower body which provides excellent contrast against the solid torso and head.
