Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2015
Rarity
Uncommon. Released in only two sets during the 2015 wave, making it harder to find than standard Ninja figures from the same era.
Head
White head with printed purple eyes, sharp teeth, and black facial markings. It features a dark blue hood piece.
Torso
Dark blue torso with purple and light blue robes, silver armor detailing, and energy patterns. Includes purple hands.
Legs
Dark blue legs with purple and light blue printing continuing the robe design and energy effects.
Accessories
Standard black crossbow. (Note: In sets, he often appeared with a staff or multiple weapons, but the crossbow is a standard Ninjago armory part).
Color Scheme
Dark Blue, Purple, Medium Azure, and White. Designed to match the 'Possession' ghostly aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The face printing is sharp and characteristic of the undead Garmadon form.
Variants
This is the 'Ghost' version released for the 5th season. Other variants include Sensei Garmadon, Lord Garmadon (4-armed), and Movie versions.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes 'heel cracks' on the back of the legs and loose arm joints. The printing is generally durable but can scratch on the torso front.
Estimated Value
$10 - $18 USD (Used/Complete); $25+ (New/Mint). Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Ninjago legacy collections.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $40 to $120. Not sold individually.

Character Background
Garmadon in his spirit form after being banished to the Cursed Realm and then briefly returning/appearing during the Ghost invasion led by Morro.

Similar Minifigures
njo151 Morro, njo115 Sensei Garmadon, njo013 Lord Garmadon.
Collectibility
Moderate to High. As a major antagonist/protagonist variant, he is essential for completing Ninjago season-specific collections.
History
Represents the transition of Garmadon from the redeemed Sensei to a legend/spirit, following the 2014 Rebooted and 2015 Tournament of Elements arcs.
Interesting Facts
Despite being a 'Ghost' in this wave, use of the light blue and purple 'energy' print distinguishes him from the generic ghost warriors who use more lime green elements.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Destiny's Bounty (70738) or within a 'Cursed Realm' themed diorama with Morro and spectral warriors.
Modification Potential
The ghost head is highly swap-able for custom undead warriors; the torso is popular for custom mages or dark monks.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and narratively important figure for Ninjago fans. It captures a specific, iconic moment in the show's lore with excellent color coordination.
