Figure ID
njo284
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2017 - Debuted in the set 'Dawn of Iron Doom' as part of the winter wave.
Rarity
Rare. This figure was exclusive to only one set (70626), and because that set was at the higher price point of the wave, it was less common than other Ninjago figures from the era.
Head
Features a dual-sided print on a black head piece. One side shows a stern expression with glowing yellow eyes, and the other shows an angry expression with time-swirl patterns. Includes a molded black 'Hands of Time' helmet/hood.
Torso
Black torso with heavy gray and dark red armor plating prints. Central 'Vermillion' snake symbol in dark red and orange. Printing continues to the back. Black arms and gray hands.
Legs
Black legs with high-detail printing across the hips and front. Design matches the upper body armor, featuring mechanical-looking metallic silver and dark red details.
Accessories
Commonly paired with a dark green tattered cape (as seen in image) and the 'Time Blade' accessories (specifically the green Forward Time Blade or blue Slow-Mo Time Blade, though not visible in the bag).
Color Scheme
Primarily Black, Dark Red, and Dark Gray with metallic silver highlights and glowing yellow/light green accents.
Printing Details
Superior level of detail for its era. High-quality pad printing on the head (dual-sided), torso front/back, and the front and hips of the legs. No side-leg printing.
Variants
There is no direct variant of this specific outfit, though his twin brother 'Krux' uses very similar pieces with a different head print and cape color.
Condition Notes
The dark green cape is prone to fraying and creasing due to its felt-like material. The black helmet piece can develop stress marks if removed roughly. Check for torso cracks on the side seams.
Estimated Value
Used: $25 - $35 USD; New/Mint: $45 - $55 USD. Prices vary based on the condition of the delicate cloth cape.
Price (New)
Included in set 70626 'Dawn of Iron Doom' which retailed for $59.99 USD in 2017.

Character Background
Acronix is one of the two Twin Masters of Time and the primary antagonist of the Ninjago Season 7: Hands of Time story arc. Unlike his brother Krux, Acronix is obsessed with futuristic technology.
Design Notes
Notable for the 'Time Blade' lore and the introduction of a new helmet mold that fits over the printed head to create a layered mask look. The dark green cape provides a distinct visual contrast.
Similar Minifigures
Krux (njo285), Vermillion Warriors (Rivett, Slackjaw), and various Season 7 versions of Kai and Lloyd.
Collectibility
High. Villains from the Ninjago 'Elemental Master' arcs are highly sought after by completionists, and the 'Hands of Time' season has a dedicated cult following.
History
Released during LEGO's shift toward more intricate torso and leg armor printing. Acronix represents a bridge between 'legacy' Ninjago styling and modern high-detail aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
Acronix spent 40 years lost in a time vortex, which is why he appears much younger than his twin brother Krux when they finally reunite in the show.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside his brother Krux (in the red cape) on a custom 'Iron Doom' mech stand. Keep away from UV light to prevent the dark red print from fading.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are excellent for sci-fi or dark knight MOCs due to their 'techno-organic' armor appearance.
Overall Assessment
An essential figure for Ninjago fans. The detailed mechanical printing and the unique dark green cape make it a standout villain figure that holds its value well.
