Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2014. It debuted in the third wave of Ninjago, coinciding with the popular 'Rebooted' season of the animated series which transitioned the setting to a more futuristic, tech-oriented world.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not an exclusive convention figure, she was only included in two specific sets from the 2014 wave, making her harder to find than the standard ninja figures of that era.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with a double-sided face: one side features a confident smirk and the other a determined/angry expression. The hair piece is a dark brown bob with a blunt fringe (Part 62696).
Torso
Dark red torso with a distinct techno-robe print including a metallic gold circular emblem with a dragon motif and blue belt ('obi') detailing that wraps around to the back. Arms are dark red with black hands.
Legs
Dark red legs with extensive printing continuing the blue belt ribbons and gold armor/fabric patterns consistent with the Rebooted character design.
Accessories
Includes a gold shoulder armor piece with a back-clip for weapons (Part 11438). This specific figure is shown holding a pearl gold Sai and has a black katana sheathed on the back.
Color Scheme
Primary Dark Red with secondary Blue and accent Gold. This matches Nya's color palette after she transitioned from the 'Samurai X' persona but before she officially became the Water Ninja.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and front of the legs. The 'Techno' aesthetic is reflected in the sharp, geometric lines of the gold printing.
Variants
This is the 'Techno Robe' version. Other 2014 variants include her 'Samurai X' outfit (njo095) and the 'Kimono' variant (njo081).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the metallic gold printing on the torso emblem which can scratch over time. The shoulder armor clips can develop stress marks if weapons are inserted/removed aggressively.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $9; New (pulled from set): $12 - $18. Value remains stable due to the popularity of the character.
Price (New)
She appeared in sets ranging from $19.99 (Kai Fighter) to $29.99 (Destructoid), making her a mid-tier accessibility figure at launch.
Compatible Sets
70721 Kai Fighter (2014), 70726 Destructoid (2014).
Character Background
Nya is the younger sister of Kai and the eventual Elemental Master of Water. This version depicts her during the battle against the Overlord's Nindroid army in New Ninjago City.
Design Notes
This figure represents a bridge in Nya's design history, moving away from her early civilian/Samurai looks toward a more unified ninja aesthetic shared with the rest of the team.
Similar Minifigures
njo063 Nya (Kimono), njo147 Nya (Deepstone), and the Rebooted versions of Kai, Jay, Zane, and Cole.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. The Rebooted era is considered a 'Golden Age' for many fans, and Nya's designs from this period are highly nostalgic.
History
Nya started as a 'damsel' character in 2011, became Samurai X in 2012, and this 2014 version solidified her place as an active combat member of the team before her elemental powers were revealed in 2015.
Interesting Facts
Despite her 'Techno' outfit, Nya did not receive a Techno-Blade in the sets, as those were reserved for the five main male ninjas in the 2014 story arc.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the other 'Rebooted' Ninjas on a grey/metallic baseplate to mimic the futuristic 'New Ninjago City' setting.
Modification Potential
The dark red torso and legs are popular for historical Asian-themed MOCs or custom samurai figures due to the intricate gold and blue detailing.
Overall Assessment
A solid, detailed minifigure that captures a pivotal moment in Ninjago's character evolution. Great print quality and essential for anyone building a 2014-era collection.
