Figure ID
loc079
Theme
Legends of Chima
Year Released
2014, debuting in the Vardy's Ice Vulture Glider set.
Rarity
Uncommon. He was available in three retail sets, but as the theme is retired, he is harder to find in pristine condition.
Head
Yellow minifigure head with a Vulture-tribe angry expression, featuring furrowed brows and a sharp beak-like mouth print. This head is meant to be covered by the Vulture tribe mask piece (missing in image).
Torso
Dark Blue with a detailed ice-armor print in silver and light blue, featuring a 'CHI' orb in the center. Dark Stone Grey arms and Dark Blue hands.
Legs
Dark Blue with printing of silver ice-armor plates, light blue highlights, and purple fabric details extending from the torso print.
Accessories
Missing in image. Originally comes with a Vulture tribe head mask, a large translucent blue 'fur' neck armor piece (visible in image), and a wing/weapon assembly.
Color Scheme
Dark Blue, Dark Stone Grey, and Silver with accented Light Blue CHI energy and Purple fabric highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of mid-2010s Chima figures, including torso front and back and detailed leg printing. The alignment on the CHI orb is a specific focus.
Variants
There are no major production variants of this specific ID, though he is very similar to other Vulture tribe members like Vardy and Vardix.
Condition Notes
The neck armor can cause stress marks on the torso neck stub. Common wear includes silver paint rubbing off the sharp edges of the leg printing.

Character Background
Vornon is a member of the Vulture Tribe, part of the Ice Hunters who were frozen in the Gorge of Eternal Depth and later awakened to conquer Chima in the Fire vs. Ice saga.
Design Notes
Features the unique Vulture Tribe aesthetics with 'frozen' motifs. The translucent blue neck piece was a hallmark of the Frost Tribe designs.
Similar Minifigures
Vardy (loc073), Vardix (loc102), and other Ice Hunter tribe members from the Sabertooth or Mammoth tribes.
Collectibility
Moderate. Chima has a dedicated cult following, particularly for its unique animal-head molds and intricate armor designs.
History
Part of the third year of Legends of Chima, which transitioned the theme into a more elemental 'fire vs ice' conflict with more complex printing.
Interesting Facts
Vornon's character in the TV series is known for being extremely pessimistic and constantly predicting doom for the Vultures' plans.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a light blue or white baseplate to simulate ice, alongside other Vulture tribesmen or the Ice Fortress set.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for sci-fi or fantasy knight customs due to the 'power core' look of the CHI orb.
Overall Assessment
A solid example of the Chima aesthetic. While incomplete without the head-mask and wings, the detailed printing still makes it a recognizable piece of LEGO history.
