Yellow skin tone with dual-sided printing: one side features a determined smirk, the other a focused battle expression with blue eye makeup. Crowned by a black 'ninja wrap' headpiece with a small blue insignia.
Torso
Black torso featuring dark blue and light blue 'X' straps, silver buckles, and light blue Ninjago script. Back printing continues the strap detail. Features black arms and black hands.
Legs
Black legs with silver and dark blue printing depicting knee guards and wrap-around straps that match the torso aesthetics.
Accessories
Typically comes with a silver katana (pictured) or a tasseled spear. The wrap headpiece includes a slot for additional plumes or decorative elements in some sets.
Color Scheme
Primary Black with accents of Dark Azure, Medium Azure, and Metallic Silver. The blue highlights represent her status as the Elemental Master of Water.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with crisp lines on the Ninjago alphabet ('Ninjargon'). Leg printing is limited to the front. No arm printing.
Variants
This specific outfit (njo321) is the standard 'Movie' version. Other variants include her Kendo training gear, her Water Ninja suit with a fabric skirt, and later 'Legacy' iterations.
Condition Notes
The black plastic shows scratches easily under direct light. Check the 'scarf' portion of the headpiece for stress marks where it connects to the neck post.
Estimated Value
New: $4.00 - $6.00 | Used: $2.00 - $4.00. This is a budget-friendly figure due to high production volume.

Compatible Sets
70611 Water Strider, 30427 Ice Tank (Polybag), 70641 Ninja Nightcrawler
Character Background
Nya is the sister of Kai and the Elemental Master of Water. In the movie universe, she is a talented mechanic and fierce warrior who initially hides her identity as Samurai X before fully embracing her ninja role.
Design Notes
This design was a departure from the TV show, opting for a more tactical, armored look with specific cultural 'mon' symbols and consistent color coding for the movie's brand identity.
Similar Minifigures
njo312 (Nya - Water Ninja), njo373 (Nya - Sons of Garmadon), and other movie-styled ninja like njo317 (Kai).
Collectibility
Moderate. While common, she is an essential core character for completionists of The LEGO NINJAGO Movie sub-theme.
History
Launched in 2017 to coincide with the third LEGO theatrical film. This version of Nya marked a significant jump in the detail of leg and torso printing compared to the 2011-2015 versions.
Interesting Facts
The blue symbols printed on her chest actually translate to 'NYA' in the fictional Ninjargon script used throughout the movie's marketing.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the 70611 Water Strider mech or in a LEGO Movie lineup with the rest of the secret ninja force on a tiered stand.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'stealth' custom minifigures or urban ninjas. The torso is highly versatile for MOCs requiring modern tactical gear.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed minifigure that captures the movie's aesthetic perfectly. Excellent value-for-money due to its low secondary market price and high playability.
