Year Released
2023. This version debuted following the pilot season of the Dragons Rising soft-reboot, representing a major shift in the Ninjago art direction and character lineup.
Rarity
Common. This specific figure is widely available across multiple Wave 1 sets, making it easily accessible to collectors beginning their Dragons Rising collection.
Head
Yellow head with Sora’s distinctive pink-to-chestnut eyebrow markings and a calm expression. This version includes her silver-gray windblown hair piece with integrated cat-ear headphones.
Torso
Dark Blue torso with high-detail printing of mechanical armor, cyan glowing energy cores, and purple tech-fabric patterns. Includes Sand Blue shoulder armor (neck bracket) representing her unique scrap-metal tech design.
Legs
Dark Blue legs with extensive printing on the front. The design features continuation of the purple tech-pattern, metallic silver mechanical kneepads, and dark blue trim with light blue energy accents.
Accessories
Commonly paired with two silver katanas or a translucent blue 'tech-power' element. The shoulder armor piece is also technically a removable accessory.
Color Scheme
A vibrant palette of Dark Blue, Purple, Sand Blue, and Yellow, accented with Magenta and Light Blue 'energy' highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality modern pad printing. Features intricate mechanical line-work on the torso and legs, including very small triangle patterns and curved energy vents that align well between the hip and leg pieces.
Variants
Several versions exist including Sora in her casual hoodie (njo811) and later variants from Season 2 with different armor configurations. This 'Elemental Power' version is her primary ninja uniform for the first half of Dragons Rising.
Condition Notes
The Sand Blue shoulder armor piece is made of a slightly softer plastic and can show stress marks if removed/reattached frequently. Arm joints are typically tight, but check for neck-post rubbing from the armor.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $3 - $5 USD; New/Mint: $6 - $8 USD. As a mass-market figure, its value is tied to the popularity of the new series rather than scarcity.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $20.00 (71791) to over $150.00 (71799), providing various entry points for the figure at different retail prices.
Compatible Sets
71791 Zane's Dragon Power Spinjitzu Race Car, 71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer, 71794 Lloyd and Arin's Ninja Team Mechs, and 71799 NINJAGO City Markets.
Character Background
A tech-genius refugee from Imperium, Sora discovered she could manipulate technology through her Elemental Power of Technology. She is a core protagonist in the Dragons Rising era, filling the role of the team's engineer and inventor.
Design Notes
Reflects LEGO's modern move toward more complex 'civilian-meets-ninja' aesthetics. The integration of the headphones into the hair mold is a standout design choice specifically for her character.
Similar Minifigures
Arin (njo818), Wyldfyre (njo833), and various versions of Zane or Nya due to the tech/elemental aesthetic.
Collectibility
Highly collectible for fans of the new Ninjago era. While not an investment piece currently due to high supply, she is essential for any completionist Ninjago roster.
History
Sora represents the first time Ninjago has introduced an 'Elemental Master of Technology,' and her design was unveiled as part of the 2023 branding overhaul that replaced the 12-year original storyline.
Interesting Facts
The cat ears on her headphones are a nod to her love for 'purfict' tech and her original Imperium citizen design. This figure was one of the most leaked images in late 2022 prior to the show's announcement.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display next to her 'Transforming Mech Bike' (71792) or on a modern Ninjago City modular dock. Use light-blue LEDs to highlight her energy-core printing.
Modification Potential
The hair/headphone piece is highly sought after for Cyberpunk-themed custom minifigures (MOCs). Her mechanical-print legs also work well for sci-fi space themes.
Overall Assessment
An excellently designed figure with high-tier printing and unique molds. A 9/10 for design, though a 3/10 for rarity. Essential for any 'Dragons Rising' fan.
