Year Released
2014; released during the third season of the Ninjago television series which introduced the techno-threat of the Overlord.
Rarity
Uncommon; while not a convention exclusive, this specific 'Battle Scarred' variant was limited to fewer sets than his standard ZX or Rebooted counterparts.
Head
Standard yellow head with blue eyes and light blue energy sparks/scars over the right eye to denote his Nindroid nature; topped with a two-part white wrap and metallic silver 'ZX' visor armor piece.
Torso
White torso with black/dark blue trim, featuring a golden dragon emblem draped across the front; includes metallic silver armor plating printing and a robe wrap design.
Legs
White legs with printing of black belts and silver/grey fabric wraps; includes distinctive 'battle damage' scuff marks on the knees and toes.
Accessories
Equipped with a standard black Longbow with arrow detail (part 4499); Zane is also known for using 'Techno-Blades' in this era, though they were set-specific.
Color Scheme
A primary palette of white and black, accented by metallic silver (representing Titanium/ZX armor) and golden dragon iconography.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing featuring front and back torso details; the face print is specifically notable for the 'scratched' robotic eye detailing unique to the Rebooted line.
Variants
Standard Zane (njo001), Zane ZX (njo031), and the later Titanium Zane (njo145) are the most common variants. This njo094 variant is distinguished by the technological 'scar' on the face.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to sunlight; check the neck for hairline cracks and the metallic silver printing for rubbing wear.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New/Mint: $12.00 - $18.00 USD. Prices are stable but may rise as early Ninjago waves become 'vintage'.
Price (New)
Originally included in sets ranging from $14.99 (Battle for Ninjago City) to $69.99 (Nindroid MechDragon/Destiny's Bounty).
Compatible Sets
70724 NinjaCopter, 70726 Destructoid, and 70728 Battle for Ninjago City (as a general representative of the Rebooted line).
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a 'Nindroid' created by Dr. Julien. He is known for his logic, sacrifice, and the revelation of his robotic nature.
Design Notes
This version utilizes the 'ZX' style hood which was originally introduced in 2012, combined with more modern 'Rebooted' face printing to show his mechanical origin.
Similar Minifigures
Kai ZX (njo032), Jay ZX (njo034), and Cole ZX (njo039). It also shares aesthetics with the later 'Legacy' Zane figures.
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for collectors completing the 'Rebooted' team or those focusing on Zane's specific evolution from human-like to Titanium.
History
Represents the middle-evolution of Zane between his original 2011 appearance and his full transformation into the Titanium Ninja in 2015.
Interesting Facts
The 'battle scarred' face print was a major plot point in the show, symbolizing Zane's acceptance of his robotic identity after being damaged by Nindroids.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside P.I.X.A.L. or other ZX-era Ninja; use a light blue baseplate to represent his Elemental Ice powers.
Modification Potential
The silver visor and white hood are highly sought after for 'Space' or 'Winter' themed MOCs; the face is popular for 'Cyborg' custom figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier Ninjago figure with great storytelling detail. The metallic printing and battle-damaged face make it a standout for fans of the 'Rebooted' era.
