Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2018. It debuted in the LEGO Ninjago: Sons of Garmadon wave, coinciding with Season 8 of the animated series which introduced a darker, more mature aesthetic to the theme.
Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was exclusive to a few sets during the 2018 run. While not a high-tier rarity like limited edition promos, they are harder to find in pristine condition due to the complex headgear and mask pieces.
Head
Transparent bright green head with dark purple and black printing (Oni mask face). It features a dark purple visor-like eye area with vertical black lines. It is topped with a unique black molded hair/mask element specifically designed for the Sons of Garmadon generals.
Torso
Black torso with a detailed pink, purple, and blue 'biker' vest design over a black outfit. Includes imagery of the Oni mask on the back. The torso in the image has white arms with black hands (note: standard njo395 usually has black or lavender arms; the white/black arm combo suggests this may be a torso-switch or variant).
Legs
Plain black legs. These standard legs provide a neutral base for the highly detailed upper body and head elements characteristic of this villain wave.
Accessories
The main accessory is the Oni Mask of Hatred (orange) in official sets, though her built-in black mask element is often considered part of the figure's essential build. She often carries katanas or flails.
Color Scheme
A dark, neon-punk aesthetic consisting primarily of Black, Dark Purple, Magenta, and Transparent Green neon accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and specialized printing on the transparent head piece. The alignment is generally tight, following the complex graphical style of the 2018 Ninjago line.
Variants
There is a standard Version (njo405) with a regular face and hair, and this armored/masked 'Oni' version (njo395). Some variations exist in the arm colors depending on the specific set or promotional polybag.
Condition Notes
The transparent head is prone to scratching. The black hair/mask piece can develop stress marks at the attachment point if removed frequently. Dust trapped in the crevices of the textured hair is common.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $12; New: $15 - $22. Pricing varies based on the presence of the specific 'Oni Mask' accessory which can double the value to collectors if included.
Price (New)
The figure was available in sets ranging from $19.99 (70640 S.O.G. Headquarters) to the larger $69.99 sets. It was not sold as a standalone retail figure.
Compatible Sets
70640 S.O.G. Headquarters, 70641 Ninja Nightcrawler, and 70642 Killow vs. Samurai X.
Character Background
Ultra Violet is a sadistic high-ranking general of the Sons of Garmadon (S.O.G.) biker gang. She is a primary antagonist in Season 8 and 9 of the Ninjago series, known for her manic laughter and obsession with the Oni Masks.
Design Notes
This figure marks the transition to 'movie-style' aesthetic in the Ninjago sets following the success of The LEGO Ninjago Movie, resulting in more detailed, gritty printing compared to early season figures.
Similar Minifigures
Mr. E (njo394), Killow (njo404), and Harumi (njo406). Collectors of S.O.G. figures often seek the entire general council.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. The 'Sons of Garmadon' era is highly regarded for its unique character designs and is a favorite among Ninjago completionists.
History
Launched in 2018, this figure represented a shift in Ninjago away from traditional ninja lore toward a post-apocalyptic/biker-gang theme, which was a significant milestone for the brand's evolution.
Interesting Facts
The transparent green head used for Ultra Violet is meant to represent the power of the Oni Mask 'infecting' or transforming the user, a detail fans of the TV series highly appreciate.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other S.O.G. members on a black or dark grey baseplate. Using a backlight can make the transparent green head 'glow' effectively.
Modification Potential
The torso and specialized hair piece are popular for custom 'cyberpunk' or 'post-apocalyptic' MOCs. The arms are easily swapped as seen in the provided image.
Overall Assessment
A standout villain from one of Ninjago's best-designed eras. A must-have for fans of the show, though buyers should check for the original arm colors if they desire 100% purity.
