Figure ID
njo541
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2019 - Debuted in the Summer wave during the 11th season of the Ninjago TV show.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in several sets, the specialized trans-blue molded parts and intricate armor make it a specific collectible for Ninjago fans.
Head
Light Aqua base color with an angry expression, featuring 'frozen' cracked skin details and white/blue pupils. It is typically covered by a Trans-Light Blue hair/helmet piece representing living ice.
Torso
Dark Red armor printing over a Light Aqua base, featuring ice crystal protrusions and jagged black detailing. Back printing matches the front armor design.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with one side Light Aqua (opaque) and one side Trans-Light Blue (transparent). Printing includes white/silver armor detailing and ice cracks.
Accessories
Includes a Red Samurai-style shoulder armor piece (Pauldrons) and often carries a translucent ice-related weapon like a katana or spear (missing in image).
Color Scheme
Primary Colors: Dark Red, Trans-Light Blue, and Light Aqua. This contrasting warm/cold scheme represents the 'Ice' theme corrupted by power.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and legs. Features unique 'cracked ice' effects that transition from the opaque plastic into the transparent sections.
Variants
Similar to basic Blizzard Warriors (njo521), but this 'General' variant is distinguished by the specific red armor and leg printing combinations.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck joint of the red armor and the transparency of the blue leg. Transparent plastic is more prone to fracture or 'stress' marks if over-flexed.
Estimated Value
New/Sealed: $6 - $8; Used Complete: $4 - $6. Incomplete (as shown): $2 - $3.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $20 (70671) to $100+ (70678). Not sold as a stand-alone individual figure except in polybags.
Compatible Sets
70671 Lloyd's Journey, 70676 Lloyd's Titan Mech, 70678 Castle of the Forsaken Emperor.
Character Background
Part of the Blizzard Samurai army, these soldiers were inhabitants of the Never-Realm who were transformed into ice monsters by the Ice Emperor using the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu.
Design Notes
Features an impressive use of dual-molding technology, particularly in the legs where solid and transparent plastic meet to simulate thawing or freezing ice.
Similar Minifigures
Ice Emperor (njo545), Blizzard Archer (njo522), Blizzard Swordmaster (njo523), and General Vex.
Collectibility
Moderate. Popular among completionist Ninjago collectors who want to build the full Blizzard Samurai army.
History
Represents the 'Ice Chapter' era of LEGO Ninjago, which saw a shift toward more complex elemental designs and the introduction of 'Dual-Molded' transparent parts.
Interesting Facts
The trans-blue head/hair piece is molded as a single part to give it the appearance of a spirit or elemental being rather than a human wearing a helmet.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a snowy or white baseplate alongside the Ice Emperor or within the Castle of the Forsaken Emperor set.
Modification Potential
The red armor is highly sought after for fantasy MOCs (My Own Creations) or custom Samurai figures; the trans-blue legs are often used for 'ghost' or 'ice elemental' customs.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking figure with a unique 8/10 design rating due to the plastic technology used. A solid addition for any fantasy or Ninjago enthusiast.
