Color Scheme
Monochromatic base of black and dark grey with high-contrast golden-yellow highlights in the emblem and skin.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of 2017; includes torso (front and back) and hip printing. The alignment of the belt between torso and hips is a key detail.

Condition Notes
Watch for 'biting' marks on the soft plastic hands and stress marks on the side of the torso (arm sockets). Dark plastic shows scratches and dust easily.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $2.00 - $4.00 USD; New/Sealed in Polybag: $5.00 - $8.00 USD. Low collector value due to high saturation.

Character Background
Cole is the Master of Earth. In the film, he is the team's music-loving, stoic heavy-hitter who pilots the Quake Mech.
Design Notes
First introduction of the 'hair-under-hood' look for Cole and the simplified movie-style face prints which became the standard for Ninjago from 2018 onwards.
Similar Minifigures
njo359 (Lloyd Movie Training), njo312 (Kai Movie Training), njo371 (Nya Movie Training).
Collectibility
Low to Moderate; essential for movie completionists but widely available on the secondary market.
History
Represents the 2017 design soft reboot where character appearances were harmonized with their cinematic counterparts.
Interesting Facts
The circular symbol on his chest is written in 'Ninjargon' and translates to the letter 'C' for Cole or 'Earth'.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the full 'Movie Training' lineup (all 6 ninjas) on a stepped acrylic stand.
Modification Potential
Torso is excellent for generic stealth or martial arts MOCs due to the neutral black and gold look.
Overall Assessment
A robust, well-printed figure that captures the cinematic aesthetic well, though it lacks the 'premium' feel of the armored versions.
