Theme
NINJAGO
Year Released
2023. Debuted in June 2023 as part of the first wave of the Dragons Rising soft reboot, coinciding with the Netflix animated series premiere.
Rarity
Uncommon. While she appears in a mid-priced set, she is currently exclusive to only two retail sets, making her a necessary find for character completionists.
Head
Yellow head with dual-sided printing. One side features a fierce, bared-teeth expression; the other is a smirk. Features red eyebrows and a distinct sun-shaped marking on the left cheek. Hair is a unique vibrant red rubberized mold with a spiky, wild texture.
Torso
Dark red torso with detailed printing of a ragged wrap-style tunic. Features light blue and tan accents, intricate black jewelry/patterning near the neckline, and an orange sash. Back printing continues the tunic details and sash. Arms are yellow; hands are black.
Legs
Dark red legs with extensive printing. Includes printing on the hips (sash) and front of legs depicting cross-wrapped bandages and light blue patterns. Lower feet feature orange 'toed' boot markings.
Accessories
Equipped with a Pearl Gold shoulder armor piece (neck bracket) with a jagged, fur-like texture. She typically comes with two trans-orange 'power blast' or flame elements representing her Heat Element powers, though only one is visible in the photo.
Color Scheme
A warm palette dominated by dark red and yellow, accented by bright red hair, pearl gold armor, and trans-orange energy. Light blue provides a sharp contrast in the fabric patterns.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with high detail on the torso and legs. The registration is sharp, particularly on the small light blue geometric patterns. Features printing on the front of the legs and feet, though lacks side-arm or side-leg printing.
Variants
There are no major design variants of this specific Wyldfyre outfit released as of early 2024, though future seasons will likely introduce new costumes.
Condition Notes
The rubberized hair piece can attract dust more easily than plastic and may experience 'tackiness' if exposed to high heat. Check the gold neck armor for stress marks at the thin connection point.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $7.00 - $9.00 USD. Prices are currently stable as the character is still in active production sets.
Price (New)
She appears in sets ranging from $47.99 (71792) to $159.99 (71797). Her presence in the $48 set makes her relatively accessible.
Compatible Sets
71792 Sora's Transforming Mech Bike Racer (2023), 71797 Destiny's Bounty - race against time (2023).
Character Background
Wyldfyre is a wild girl raised by Heatwave the dragon in the Wyldness. She is the Elemental Master of Heat and joins the new generation of Ninjas following the 'Merge' event that combined all realms.
Design Notes
Her hairpiece is a standout mold that effectively captures her feral personality. The sun tattoo on her face is an important lore detail referencing her origin.
Similar Minifigures
Arin (njo804), Sora (njo805), and Kai (various versions) due to the fire/heat thematic link and same wave release.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago fans. As a core member of the new Dragons Rising protagonist trio, she is essential for those following the current animated series arc.
History
Wyldfyre represents the first time Ninjago has introduced an Elemental Master of Heat (distinct from Fire). She is part of the largest roster change in the theme's 13-year history.
Interesting Facts
Despite her 'fire' theme, she does not use the standard flame pieces in many sets, instead utilizing the curved trans-orange bar/blast pieces to represent more intense heat energy.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Sora and Arin on a 'Dragons Rising' themed baseplate. Her vibrant red hair makes her pop against darker backgrounds; use top-down lighting to catch the gold in her armor.
Modification Potential
The hairpiece is popular for custom 'hero' minifigures or fantasy barbarians. Her torso and legs are excellent for 'Mad Max' style post-apocalyptic MOCs.
Overall Assessment
Wyldfyre is a fantastic addition to the Ninjago line, featuring a unique silhouette thanks to her hair and armor. Rating: 8/10 for design and 7/10 for collectibility.
