Year Released
2014 - Released as part of the third wave of Ninjago, coinciding with the 'Rebooted' season of the Masters of Spinjitzu TV series.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited exclusive, it appeared in only two sets during a peak popularity period for Ninjago, making high-condition copies harder to find today.
Head
Dual-sided head printing. One side features Zane's standard focused expression, while the other shows his 'Battle Scarred' robotic circuitry and eye exposed. It is typically covered by a White Ninja Wrap with a Flat Silver Top.
Torso
White torso with Pearl Dark Gray arms and Black hands. The print features a white gi with a brown strap, a gold/yellow 'shuriken' symbol, and exposed mechanical details/wiring on the left side of the chest.
Legs
White legs with white hips. The printing includes a continuation of the sash belt and bandage-like wraps or plate lines on the knees to represent his techno-ninja suit.
Accessories
Typically paired with his Techno-Blade (Trans-Blue) or silver katanas. The wrap is a two-piece design: the hood/wrap (flat silver and white) and a separate face scarf piece.
Color Scheme
Primary white and flat silver, accented by pearl dark gray arms and dark brown/gold printing details. This reflects his identity as the Titanium Ninja/Nindroid.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The 'Battle Scarred' detail on the torso is specific to this version, showing 'burned' edges and exposed technological components to match the TV show's climax.
Variants
Standard Rebooted Zane (njo083) features the same outfit but without the exposed circuitry on the torso. Later versions include Titanium Zane and various 'Legacy' redesigns.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check the neck for hairline cracks and ensure the silver printing on the headpiece hasn't rubbed off from handling.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8 - $12 USD. New/Mint: $15 - $22 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Ninjago's 'Rebooted' sets.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $29.99 (70724) to $69.99 (70726). The price-per-part value was standard for the 2014 Ninjago line.
Compatible Sets
70724 NinjaCopter and 70726 Destructoid.
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot). In the Rebooted season, he sacrifices himself to defeat the Golden Master, leading to his later reconstruction as the Titanium Ninja.
Design Notes
This figure is a milestone in Zane's design evolution, marking the first time his robotic nature was heavily emphasized through 'damage' printing on the gi rather than just the head.
Similar Minifigures
njo083 Zane (Rebooted), njo127 Titanium Zane, and other ninja from the Rebooted wave like Battle Scarred Kai.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago enthusiasts. The 'Battle Scarred' variants are iconic because they represent a specific, emotional narrative arc in the series history.
History
Launched in January 2014, this figure represented a shift toward more 'Sci-Fi' elements in Ninjago, moving away from pure fantasy into techno-warfare aesthetics.
Interesting Facts
The exposed circuitry on his torso is meant to mimic the damage Zane took during the battle with the Nindroid army. This version specifically foreshadows his ultimate sacrifice.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Golden Master (Overlord) to recreate the final battle, or in a Ninjago 'Hall of Fame' chronological lineup.
Modification Potential
The pearl gray arms are useful for custom sci-fi figures. The head is a popular choice for custom cyborg or android MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A standout Ninjago figure for its storytelling detail. It offers great value for collectors looking to capture a pivotal moment in the franchise's lore.
