Year Released
2021 context: Released as part of the Season 14 tie-in sets, representing the transition into the jungle/tropical themed wave of the Ninjago lore.
Rarity
Uncommon; while not exclusive to one set, it only appeared in two sets and a polybag during a relatively short production window before the 'Seabound' wave took over.
Head
Yellow head with green eyes and determined expression (dual-sided printing with an angry/scared face). It features the specialized blonde hair piece integrated with a black island bandana/cowl piece.
Torso
Dark green torso with intricate printing: brown straps, a gold 'X' buckle, silver armor plating, and jungle-themed textures. Black arms with dark green highlights and black hands.
Legs
Black legs with green and brown printing depicting tactical jungle boots, knee pads, and belt sashes that continue the torso's aesthetic.
Accessories
Included in the image are two pearl gold serrated katanas/scimitars and a brown dual-sword scabbard worn over the neck; officially came with a bone-themed club in some sets.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Green, Black, and Bright Green, accented with Pearl Gold and reddish-brown for leather straps. This reflects a 'stealth/jungle' variant of the character.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front and back of the torso, as well as the front of the legs. Note the detail on the belt line which aligns perfectly between the torso and hips.
Variants
Standard Island Lloyd (njo634) is the most common; a slight variation exists in the 'Jungle Dragon' set which focuses on different accessory packs.
Condition Notes
Watch for paint rubbing on the gold buckle and scratches on the black bandana piece. The neck bracket for the scabbard can occasionally cause stress marks on the torso neck peg.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 USD; New: $8.00 - $10.00 USD. Prices are stable due to high availability in the 30539 polybag.
Price (New)
Featured in sets ranging from $3.99 (Polybag) to $69.99 (Catamaran Sea Battle); average figure-to-set value was excellent for collectors.
Compatible Sets
71745 Lloyd's Jungle Chopper Bike, 71748 Catamaran Sea Battle, and 30539 Lloyd's Quad Bike polybag.
Character Background
Lloyd, the Green Ninja and Elemental Master of Energy, leads the team to a mysterious island to find his father and Master Wu. This outfit represents his tactical jungle gear.
Design Notes
The 'Islanders' aesthetic is a callback to the classic 90s LEGO Pirates Islanders theme, featuring tooth-charms and primitive-techtile armor designs.
Similar Minifigures
Island Kai (njo635), Island Jay (njo633), and Island Cole (njo631) share the same sub-theme design language.
Collectibility
Moderate; essential for 'Ninja Outfit' completionists, but less valuable than 10th Anniversary Golden figures or early 2011/2012 legacy figures.
History
Follows the evolution of Lloyd from the 'Child/Short Leg' era to the 'Movie Face' redesign, showcasing the high-detail printing standards of modern Ninjago.
Interesting Facts
The 'Island' sub-theme serves as a technical prologue to the 'Seabound' season, making these figures transitional pieces in the Ninjago timeline.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Jungle Dragon or on a tropical MOC baseplate with foliage to make the dark green color pop.
Modification Potential
The torso and legs are popular for 'The Last of Us' or 'post-apocalyptic' custom figures due to the tactical, rugged appearance of the straps.
Overall Assessment
A visually striking and detailed figure with great texture. While not highly valuable, it is a peak example of LEGO's ability to theme a character for a specific environment.
