Year Released
2015. Released during the peak of the 'Possession' wave coinciding with the TV series' fifth season.
Rarity
Uncommon. While appearing in a major set, this specific variant with the bandana and specific hairpiece is sought after due to the 'ghostly' green skin tone.
Head
Features a dual-sided 'ghostly' light green head with green energy/possession details around the eyes. One side has a determined grin, the other a grimacing expression.
Torso
Sand green with dark green and gold trim depicting the Airjitzu/Prophecy robes. Includes printing of a dragon emblem and a rope belt. Back printing continues the robe details. Arms are sand green with black hands.
Legs
Matches the torso with sand green base and dark green robe printing. Includes a printed knot for the belt on the hips and robe details extending onto the front of the legs.
Accessories
Black hairpiece (Mid-length tousled), a black fabric-style plastic bandana/scarf, and two gold katanas. The figure is shown seated in an Airjitzu spinner capsule base.
Color Scheme
Primary: Sand Green and Dark Green. Accents: Lime Green (energy) and Pearl Gold. Accessories in Black.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on head, torso (front and back), and legs. Alignment is consistent with mid-2010s LEGO standards. The energy detail on the face is notably intricate.
Variants
Several 'Possession' Lloyd variants exist: njo146 (Standard), njo164 (Skybound), and versions without the bandana or with different headgear (mask vs hair).
Condition Notes
Check for silvering or fading on the gold torso prints. The black bandana piece is prone to scratches, and the hairpiece can show 'teeth marks' or bite wear.

Character Background
This represents Lloyd Garmadon while being possessed by Morro, the Master of Wind, or utilizing his elemental energy during the ghost invasion of Ninjago.

Collectibility
High among Ninjago completionists. The Season 5 'Possession' aesthetic is widely considered one of the best designed eras for minifigures in the theme.
History
Follows the evolution of Lloyd from the 'Green Ninja' to the 'Ultimate Spinjitzu Master', showing his vulnerability to dark energy during the Morro arc.
Interesting Facts
The lime green skin was a departure from the standard yellow or flesh tones, intended to give a supernatural glow in the TV show that translated into a unique collector's piece.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display inside a transparent Ninjago spinner case or alongside the other five Airjitzu ninjas for a complete Season 5 lineup.
Modification Potential
The light green head is frequently used by MOC builders for radioactive characters, aliens, or customized ghost characters.
Overall Assessment
A highly desirable variant of the main protagonist. The distinct color palette and association with a fan-favorite TV season make it a solid B+ tier collectibility item.
