Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon is the Green Ninja, the Elemental Master of Energy, and the son of the villainous Lord Garmadon. In the Movie timeline, he is a social pariah seeking his father's approval while defending Ninjago City.
Design Notes
This figure marked a significant design shift for Ninjago, introducing the 'movie looks' (like Lloyd's green eyes) which eventually transitioned into the main TV series (Sons of Garmadon onwards).
Similar Minifigures
njo364 (Lloyd - Sons of Garmadon), njo371 (Lloyd - Spinjitzu Master), and the CMF Series Lloyd Garmadon.
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a foundational figure for any Ninjago Movie collection, though its high production volume keeps it from being a high-end investment piece.
History
Launched in 2017 to coincide with the theatrical release of The LEGO Ninjago Movie. It represented the first major aesthetic 'reboot' for the character's physical appearance.
Interesting Facts
The 'Dragon Suit' print actually contains subtle text in the 'Ninjargon' alphabet. This specific version of Lloyd's face (green eyes) was controversial among fans before becoming the new standard.
Display Suggestions
Displays well alongside the other 5 movie-style ninjas or as a pilot for the Green Ninja Mech Dragon (70612).
Modification Potential
Excellent. The dark green parts are useful for forest-themed MOCs or custom historical archers. The head is compatible with standard blonde hair pieces (part 23186).
Overall Assessment
A solid, highly detailed minifigure that perfectly captures the modern era of Ninjago. Essential for fans of the film, though easily obtainable for most collectors.
