Rarity
Common; it appeared in a high-volume, low-priced set and a polybag, making it widely accessible.
Head
Flesh-toned with thick black eyebrows, a stern expression, and a signature black goatee/beard. Topped with a short, messy black hair piece (part 28531).
Torso
White wrap-style training gi with a black sash running diagonally from right shoulder to waist. Includes a yellow circular badge (mon) on the chest. Back printing continues the sash and gi folds. Black arms and black hands.
Legs
Dark blue unprinted legs and hips. These represent the loose-fitting shinobi hakama/trousers.
Accessories
None shown in image. Originally came with a brown bo staff (assembled from a long bar) and/or a black hilt depending on the set context.
Color Scheme
Primary white and dark blue, with black accents and a small pop of bright yellow for the insignia.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and head. Clean lines on the sash and no bleeding between the white gi and dark sash print.
Variants
This is the 'Training Outfit' version. Other movie variants include his 'High School' outfit (casual clothes) and his full 'Black Ninja' armored suit.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck post (stress marks) and silvering on the facial print. The white torso is susceptible to visible dirt or permanent staining if handled with dirty hands.
Estimated Value
Used: $2.00 - $4.00 USD | New/Sealed (in polybag): $5.00 - $8.00 USD. Value is low due to high production volume.
Price (New)
$9.99 (Retail for set 70606) or $3.99 - $4.99 for polybag 30608.
Compatible Sets
70606 Spinjitzu Training, 30608 Kendo Cole (Polybag variant), and 5004916 Kai's Dojo Pod (as a bonus character in some regions).
Character Background
Cole is the Master of Earth. In the movie universe, he is a music-loving, stoic ninja who pilots the Quake Mech. This 'Training' version represents him before gaining his signature black armor.
Design Notes
The movie redesigns moved away from the 'classic' yellow skins to flesh tones to match the cinematic aesthetic. The torso mold is standard but the graphic design emphasizes a traditional martial arts look.
Similar Minifigures
Training versions of Kai (njo312), Jay (njo313), Lloyd (njo314), Zane (njo316), and Nya (njo317) from the same wave.
Collectibility
Moderate to low. While essential for a complete 'Team' lineup of movie figures, it is not an investment piece due to its commonality.
History
Launched in 2017 to coincide with the second LEGO feature film. This era marked a significant redesign of all Ninjago characters' appearances which eventually carried over into the TV show.
Interesting Facts
Despite being called 'Gold' or 'Yellow' in the show, the movie version of the Earth Ninja emphasizes dark blue and black more heavily in the base layers of his training gear.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside the 70606 Spinjitzu Training dojo or on a tiered stand alongside the other five Ninjas in their matching white training outfits.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs. The white gi torso is a popular part for creating custom martial arts characters or street-fighter MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, movie-accurate representation of Cole. While inexpensive, the printing is crisp and it serves as a foundational piece for any Ninjago Movie collection.
