Rarity
Uncommon. This specific version was only found in three sets during the limited run of the Rebooted line.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone, double-sided with one side showing a determined 'grit' expression and the other showing a friendly smile; light blue eyes representing his ice powers.
Torso
White 'Rebooted' robe with silver and black tech-printing, featuring a communication device on the belt and unique Ninjago script on the collar; white arms with black hands.
Legs
White hips and legs with black belt printing and light grey metallic horizontal band detailing on the shins.
Accessories
Missing in image (This figure originally included a silver Techno-Blade or translucent blue weapons depending on the set).
Color Scheme
Primary white with secondary black and silver accents; bright yellow skin and blue eyes provide a stark contrast.
Printing Details
High quality pad printing on torso (front/back) and leg (front); the printing is notably crisp for mid-2010s standards with fine-line mechanical details.
Variants
Standard (njo091), Titanium Zane (silver), and different hair-piece variants in later Legacy releases.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is highly susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV; common stress marks appear on the torso sides; torso prints on the belt area are prone to rubbing wear.
Estimated Value
$5.00 - $8.00 USD (Used), $12.00 - $15.00 USD (New condition). Prices have remained steady as it is a core character variant.

Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot) created by Dr. Julien; in the 'Rebooted' arc, the team faces the Digital Overlord in New Ninjago City.
Design Notes
First introduction of the 'Flat Top' tan hair piece (Part 15502) designed specifically for Zane to represent his robotic nature.
Similar Minifigures
Kai - Rebooted (njo090), Jay - Rebooted (njo088), Cole - Rebooted (njo089).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a 'must-have' for completionists of the early Ninjago seasons; demand remains stable due to the character's long-standing role in the show.
History
Represents the first major redesign of the Ninja team after the 'Legacy' stone-armor era, shifting toward a tech-heavy, futuristic aesthetic.
Interesting Facts
The writing on the collar is 'Ninjago' text that translates to 'Zane'; this was the era where Zane’s identity as a robot became central to the plot's technology-driven themes.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other 'Rebooted' ninja on a tech-themed baseplate; keep out of direct sunlight to prevent the white plastic from turning yellow.
Modification Potential
The torso is often used for sci-fi MOCs or futuristic medical staff due to the clean white-and-silver clinical aesthetic.
Overall Assessment
A solid, era-defining minifigure for the Ninjago theme. While not the most expensive figure, it offers a great level of detail and represents a high point in the theme's creative evolution.
