Figure ID
njo310 (Body/Legs) with Part 3626cpb1765 (Head)
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2017 (for the components shown)
Rarity
Uncommon as parts; Unique as an assembly. The torso and legs come from a mass-produced set, but they have been mismatched with an incorrect arm and head.
Head
Yellow classic skin tone. Features a lopsided grin, raised eyebrow, and a band-aid/plaster on the forehead (Part 3626cpb1765). This head originally belongs to characters like Emmet (The LEGO Movie) or generic City figures, not Kai.
Torso
Red torso with 'Hands of Time' Kai printing. Features dark red and black chainmail, a brown sash/belt with a buckle, and a small Phoenix emblem. The right arm is Dark Red, the left is Bright Yellow (incorrect for this figure), with black hands.
Legs
Red legs with 'Hands of Time' printing. Features a continuation of the sash, knee pads, and tactical pockets/pouches. High-quality pad printing on the front.
Accessories
Includes a black neck wrap (bandana) piece. Missing the original hair piece (spiky brown Kai hair) and his signature katanas.
Color Scheme
Primarily Red and Dark Red, with an unintentional Yellow accent on the left arm and head. Accents of Brown and Silver in the printing.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The torso and legs align well to create the 'Hands of Time' outfit. Note the detailed chainmail texture and individual buckle straps on the legs.
Variants
The base torso/legs represent the 2017 version of Kai. This specific assembly is not an official variant but a 'FRANKEN-FIG' (mismatched parts).
Condition Notes
The figure shows minor play wear. The neck wrap is slightly misaligned. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso and 'heel cracks' on the legs, common for 2017-era parts.
Estimated Value
$3.00 - $5.00 USD. Valuable for parts only. The 'Hands of Time' Kai (njo310) in complete condition is worth roughly $8.00-$12.00.
Price (New)
The torso/legs originated in Set 70621 (The Forbidden Forge) which retailed for $14.99 in 2017.
Compatible Sets
70621 (The Forbidden Forge), 70627 (Dragon's Forge), 70625 (Samurai VXL).
Character Background
Kai is the Elemental Master of Fire and a main protagonist in Ninjago. This outfit represents his appearance during the battle against the Time Twins.
Design Notes
The 'Hands of Time' wave was notable for asymmetrical armor designs. This specific torso has excellent metallic silver ink used for the chainmail.
Similar Minifigures
njo274 (Hands of Time Kai with armor), njo192 (Skybound Kai), njo007 (Original Pilot Kai).
Collectibility
Moderate for Ninjago completists. This specific figure has low collector value due to being mismatched/customized with non-original arms and head.
History
Kai's design has evolved from simple robes in 2011 to highly detailed tactical gear in 2017. This torso reflects the peak of 'Hands of Time' era complexity.
Interesting Facts
The red/dark-red arm split is intentional for this version of Kai, but replacing the left arm with yellow makes it look like a manufacturing error or a casual modification.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Ninjago 'Hall of Armor' or used as parts for a custom MOC (My Own Creation) fire-themed warrior.
Modification Potential
High. The yellow arm and head can be replaced with the correct dark red arm and Kai hairpiece to restore the official njo310 figure.
Overall Assessment
This is a 'Franken-minifigure' consisting of an authentic Kai (Hands of Time) body and incorrect extremities. While the printing is genuine LEGO, it holds more value as replacement parts than as a collector's item.
