Interesting Facts
The Island sub-theme was inspired by Polynesian and Pacific Island cultures and served as a precursor to the Seabound (Season 15) storyline.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the other Island Ninja on a jungle-themed MOC or within the 71747 The Keepers' Village set.
Modification Potential
The belt and torso printing make it excellent for tribal or aquatic-themed custom minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-printed Ninjago figure that is very accessible for young collectors. It stands out for its unique white and blue 'Island' color palette.
