Variants
This is a unique anniversary variant. Other 'Golden' Nya versions exist (e.g., Crystalized), but this 'Legacy' version with the circular 10-year stand is exclusive to 2021.
Condition Notes
Pearl Gold plastic is prone to visible swirl marks from the molding process. Check for 'gold-rub' wear on the hands and heel friction. Inspect the mask for paint chips on the Azure section.

Character Background
Nya is the Elemental Master of Water and the younger sister of Kai. This version represents her 'Legacy' status, celebrating her transformation from Samurai X to a core member of the Ninja team over a decade of story.
Design Notes
Part of a series of 7 golden ninja (Kai, Jay, Cole, Zane, Lloyd, Nya, and Wu). The design uses the 'Legacy' ninja outfit template but recolored entirely in Pearl Gold to evoke a trophy-like aesthetic.
Similar Minifigures
Golden Kai (njo637), Golden Jay (njo636), Golden Zane (njo634), and the later Golden Dragon Form Nya from the Crystalized wave (njo758).
Collectibility
High. She is one of the essential seven figures required to complete the 10th-anniversary golden display, making her a staple for Ninjago collectors.
History
In 2021, LEGO released one golden ninja in various Legacy sets to mark 10 years since the 2011 launch. Nya was released in the Summer wave of that year.
Interesting Facts
The Ninjago script on her belt actually translates to the letter 'N'. She was the last of the original six ninja to receive her golden anniversary figure in the 2021 release cycle.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on her included '10 Years' stand alongside the other six golden ninja. UV-protected cases are recommended to prevent the Pearl Gold plastic from dulling over time.
Modification Potential
The Pearl Gold printed legs and torso are popular for MOC (My Own Creation) builders looking to create 'Holy' or 'Ascended' warrior characters beyond the Ninjago theme.
Overall Assessment
An excellent anniversary piece. The Pearl Gold finish is premium, and the Medium Azure highlights provide a striking contrast. Essential for Ninjago fans.
