Year Released
2021. Debuted in sets accompanying Season 14 of the Ninjago television series. The design reflects the 'The Island' wave's jungle aesthetic, which moved away from the high-tech 'Prime Empire' look to a more primitive, tactical gear style.
Rarity
Common. This figure was widely available in multiple sets from 'The Island' sub-theme, including a relatively affordable accessory pack and a polybag, making it easy for collectors to obtain during its production run.
Head
Yellow head with green eyes, a stern expression, and Lloyd's signature scar over his left eye. It features a dual-sided print with a determined/angry face on the reverse. The headgear is a black wrap/cowl with an integrated tan hairpiece (Lloyd's post-movie hair mold).
Torso
Dark green torso with intricate printing: cross-body brown leather straps, gold buckles, a dark green hood print on the back, and a lime green pattern representing tactical jungle armor. Dark green arms with black hands.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with black on the bottom (boots) and dark green on top. Printing includes dark green and lime green patterns, grey fabric texture, and brown leather strap details on the thighs to match the torso belt.
Accessories
Commonly equipped with a pearl gold katana (as seen in the image). In official sets, he often also carries a bone-themed club or a spear relative to the jungle theme, and a scabbard attached to the back.
Color Scheme
Dominant dark green and black, accented with lime green, pearl gold, and reddish brown. This earthy palette is specifically designed to camouflage with the jungle environment of the Season 14 setting.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso (front and back) and the front of the legs. The dual-molding of the legs provides a clean 'boot' look that won't rub off like printed colors. Detail level is high, showing texture in the fabric and metallic glints on the buckles.
Variants
This is the standard 'The Island' Lloyd. Other 2021 variants include 'Legacy' gold versions (anniversary) and 'Seabound' scuba versions. Within 'The Island' wave itself, there is a variation found in the 'Jungle Dragon' set which is identical to this main version.
Condition Notes
The black cowl frequently shows 'stress marks' (whitening of the plastic) if removed and reapplied too often. The pearl gold katana is made of a softer plastic and is prone to bending or bite marks. Check the hip-to-torso connection for 'cracks' in the plastic.
Estimated Value
$4.00 - $6.00 USD for a used complete figure. New/unassembled versions typically sell for $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Value is stable due to high supply across four separate product releases.
Price (New)
Original retail context varied: available in the 'Jungle Dragon' ($39.99), 'Lloyd's Jungle Chopper' ($19.99), 'Island Accessory Set' ($14.99), and 'Island Lloyd' Polybag ($4.99).
Compatible Sets
71745 Lloyd's Jungle Chopper Bike, 71746 Jungle Dragon, 854123 Island Accessory Set, 30539 Island Lloyd Polybag.
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja and Elemental Master of Energy. In 'The Island' season, Lloyd leads the team to a mysterious island to find his father and Master Wu, adopting this 'survivalist' outfit to traverse the treacherous terrain.
Design Notes
This figure uses the 'new' Lloyd face and hair mold introduced in 'The LEGO Ninjago Movie' (2017) which became the canon design for the show starting in Season 8. The 'The Island' outfit is noted for its asymmetrical strap design.
Similar Minifigures
Island Kai (njo635), Island Jay (njo633), Island Zane (njo636), and the 'Jungle Garmadon' from the Ninjago Movie. Its aesthetic also pairs well with the 'Lego City Jungle' sub-theme.
Collectibility
Moderate for completionists. While not a high-value investment piece, it is essential for fans of the Ninjago TV series and is highly praised for its detailed tactical printing and unique hair/cowl combo piece.
History
Lloyd's design has evolved from a small child (2011) to the 'Green Ninja' (2012) to this modern survivalist look. This 2021 version represents the 10th anniversary era of the theme, showcasing the peak of Ninjago's printing complexity.
Interesting Facts
The 'The Island' wave was originally intended to be a full season but was condensed into a 4-episode special. Despite the shorter screen time, the minifigures remain some of the best-selling 'outfit variants' in Ninjago history.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for jungle-themed dioramas or Ninjago 'Hall of Armor' displays. Looks best when placed next to his Jungle Dragon (71746) or paired with the other three 'Island' ninja.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Post-Apocalyptic' or 'Rebel Ranger' MOCs. The torso and legs are versatile for custom military or fantasy scouts due to the tactical green/leather look.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for design, though a 4/10 for rarity. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing 'standard' Lloyd variants and a must-have for the price point. Standout feature is the dual-molded legs and the hair/cowl integration.
