Year Released
2014 - Released as part of the third wave of Ninjago, coinciding with the third season of the Masters of Spinjitzu TV series.
Rarity
Uncommon - This specific version was exclusive to only two sets from the Rebooted wave, making it harder to find than the standard 'Techno Robe' Zane without the battle damage.
Head
Yellow skin, dual-sided. Front features a smiling expression with eyebrows. Back/alternate side features a 'Battle Scarred' metallic silver robotic print, revealing his Nindroid nature with a glowing blue eye.
Torso
White robe with metallic gold trim and grey sash. Features dark brown belts with gold buckles and a back print showing the robotic ice symbol and strap continuation. Black hands.
Legs
White legs with metallic gold robe trim and wave/cloud-like patterns at the bottom. The hip is white with continuation of the robe belt print.
Accessories
Includes the 'Rebooted' ninja wrap/mask (white with gold crest) and originally came with the blue Techno-Blade weapon (Trans-Light Blue) in the sets.
Color Scheme
Primary white signifying the element of Ice, with secondary metallic gold, silver, and dark brown accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with metallic silver on the face and metallic gold on the torso/legs. Printing covers torso (front and back) and legs (front only).
Variants
Standard Rebooted Zane (njo084) uses the same torso/legs but lacks the battle-scarred robotic face. The mask also exists in a variant without the gold crest in later polybags.
Condition Notes
Watch for gold print rubbing on the toes and metallic silver wear on the alternate side of the face. Torso cracks under the arms are common for white-plastic figures from this era.
Estimated Value
$8.00 - $12.00 used complete; $15.00+ new/sealed condition. Individual battle-scarred heads often sell for $3.00- $5.00 on the secondary market.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $19.99 (Destructoid) to $69.99 (Ninja DB X). Not available as a standalone purchase.
Compatible Sets
70726 Destructoid (2014) and 70750 Ninja DB X (2015).
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid (robot). This specific version represents his 'Rebooted' appearance where his robotic identity is revealed to the public after his sacrifice.
Design Notes
First instance of the dual-molded/printed ninja wrap with the gold crown piece. The battle-scarred head is an iconic piece of Ninjago storytelling, visualising Zane's mechanical nature.
Similar Minifigures
njo084 Rebooted Zane (Standard), njo107 Titanium Zane, njo031 Zane (Kimono).
Collectibility
High interest for 'Nostalgia' collectors of the 2011-2015 Ninjago era. The Rebooted wave is considered a classic among fans, making this a stable investment.
History
Follows the evolution from Zane's original yellow-skinned human-looking phase into the more tech-centric character following the 'The Titanium Ninja' story arc.
Interesting Facts
The 'Battle Scarred' face print remains one of the few Ninjago heads to explicitly show the internal robotic structure of a character in detail.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Rebooted Ninja in their Techno Robes inside the Ninja DB X set or in a 2x3 frame with a Trans-Light Blue background.
Modification Potential
Excellent for Nindroid MOCs; the head is frequently used by customizers to create damaged droid characters in Star Wars or Cyberpunk settings.
Overall Assessment
A standout minifigure from one of Ninjago's best eras. The metallic detailing and unique head print make it a must-have for character-completionists.
