Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2019; debuted during the 'Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu' wave as part of the transition to the shorter 11-minute episode format.
Rarity
Uncommon; while not exclusive to a single high-priced set, this specific version appeared in a mid-range set and a spinner set, making it more specialized than core robe variants.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone with green eyes and 'determined' eyebrows. It features dual-sided printing (angry/determined and focused). The headgear is the FS wrap-around cowl in Dark Green and Bright Green.
Torso
Black torso with a detailed wraps design, featuring a lime-green energy scroll/emblem on the left chest and bright lime energy (lightning/fire) patterns representing the 'Forbidden Spinjitzu' power. Black arms with lime hands.
Legs
Black legs with green and gold sash printing on the hips and upper leg area, continuing the wrap design from the torso. No side leg printing.
Accessories
Usually paired with a 'Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu' or a lime green katana. In the image, it is standing on a bright green 1x2 plate (common base). Pieces shown are the two-part cowl (Top and Mask).
Color Scheme
Primary Black and Dark Green with Bright Green (Lime) accents and gold/silver printing highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with metallic gold accents on the belt and sash. Energy sparks on the torso use a vibrant lime color that stands out against the black plastic.
Variants
Standard 'Secrets' suit (njo517), Avatar Lloyd (njo570), and Golden Lloyd (njo511). The FS variant is identified by the specifically stylized energy patterns on the chest.
Condition Notes
The lime print on the torso can be prone to scratching. Check for 'neck cracks' (common in 2018-2020 torsos) and ensure the two-part headwrap fits snugly without stress marks.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $7.00 USD; New: $9.00 - $12.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the Ninjago legacy market.
Price (New)
Available in set 70678 ($129.99) and set 70681 ($9.99 spinjitzu slam). The $10 price point for the spinner made this figure highly accessible at release.
Compatible Sets
70678 Castle of the Forsaken Emperor, 70681 Spinjitzu Slam - Lloyd.
Character Background
Lloyd, the Green Ninja and Master of Energy, son of Garmadon. This 'FS' version represents his state when tapping into the dangerous Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu during the Ice Chapter saga.
Design Notes
Features the 'new' 2017 character design (post-movie face style). The torso print is asymmetric, a hallmark of more modern Ninjago designs compared to the symmetrical 2011-2015 robes.
Similar Minifigures
FS Kai (njo521), FS Zane (njo522), FS Jay (njo523). It is part of a thematic set of 'powered-up' ninja.
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for completionists of the Season 11 lineup. While not the most expensive Lloyd, the Forbidden Spinjitzu series is visually distinct and popular for displays.
History
Represents the middle-era of Ninjago where LEGO experimented with specialized 'gimmick' suits tied to specific power-ups in the show, moving away from simple color-coded gi.
Interesting Facts
The energy pattern on the chest matches the 'Forbidden Spinjitzu' tornado pieces included in the sets. This was one of the first Lloyds to utilize the dark green/bright green dual-molded cowl style effectively.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other FS ninja or against 'Ice Emperor' Zane to recreate the Season 11 finale. Looks best under bright white light to make the lime green energy pop.
Modification Potential
The head and cowl are frequently used for 'Green Arrow' or 'Robin Hood' fantasy MOCs due to the rogue-like aesthetic.
Overall Assessment
A solid, mid-tier collectible with excellent printing detail. Its aggressive energy graphics make it a standout version of Lloyd for fans of the later television series arcs.
