Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While not a limited convention exclusive, it only appeared in one set and depicts a unique, bleached/undead version of a fan-favorite character.
Head
Unique elongated 'snake neck' piece integrated with the head. Features complex purple tribal printing on white plastic, red eyes with black pupils, and a blue diamond on the forehead.
Torso
White torso with purple and black printing. Design features tribal Serpentine markings, a red gem/medallion centerpiece, purple arms, and purple hands.
Legs
Black lower tail/snake body piece with gold and red details. This is the curved Serpentine tail base rather than standard legs, specific to the Anacondrai leaders.
Accessories
Typically comes with a Pearl Gold Serpentine Staff or Dagger (as seen in image). It does not use standard hats or hair due to the unique head mold.
Color Scheme
A stark white primary color (representing the character's bleached state) with royal purple markings, black lower body, and accents of gold and red.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing across the top of the elongated head and neck. Torso printing includes front and back detailing with metallic gold highlights on the tail.
Variants
Standard purple version (njo041), white version (njo129), and a newer Tournament of Elements version (njo131). The white version is the specific 'ghost' or 'bleached' variant.
Condition Notes
The white plastic is prone to yellowing if exposed to sunlight. The thin tip of the tail and the neck joint are common stress points for plastic fatigue.
Estimated Value
Used: $35 - $50 USD | New/Mint: $60 - $80 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of Ninjago's legacy waves.

Character Background
Pythor is the last surviving member of the Anacondrai tribe. After being eaten by the Great Devourer and subsequently vomited up, his scales were bleached white, leading to this look in the Rebooted season.
Design Notes
The elongated neck piece was a revolutionary mold for the Serpentine, forcing a unique height profile twice that of a standard minifigure. It captures his hunched, predatory posture perfectly.
Similar Minifigures
Pythor (njo041), Arcturus, Anacondrai Warriors (njo124), General Kozu.
Collectibility
High. Pythor is widely considered the best villain in the Ninjago franchise, making any variant of him highly desirable for completionists.
History
Launched during the 'Rebooted' era of Ninjago which saw the return of the Serpentine under the Digital Overlord's command. It marked a major aesthetic shift for the character.
Interesting Facts
The print on the head is actually slightly different from his original purple version to represent his physical trauma. In the TV show, his voice also became more raspy in this form.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside other Serpentine generals or atop a Borg Tower MOC. Use a UV-protected case to prevent the white plastic from turning yellow.
Modification Potential
The head/neck piece is static and does not allow for alternate hats. The torso can be swapped with other Anacondrai parts to create custom 'general' variants.
Overall Assessment
A standout 9/10 minifigure. The unique mold, striking color palette, and character significance make it a centerpiece of any Ninjago collection.
