Figure ID

Theme
NINJAGO
Year Released
2015
Rarity
Uncommon. While Lloyd is a main character, this specific 'Possession' variant was exclusive to a few set releases during the 2015 wave, making it more desirable than standard 'Kimono' or 'Legacy' versions.
Head
Yellow head with Lloyd's signature green eyes and determined expression. Covered by a dual-molded Black and Dark Green wrap/hood (part 19857pb01) that highlights the character's 'Possession' storyline aesthetic.
Torso
Dark Green with a detailed 'Possession' print featuring tattered robes, a silver belt, and lime green energy or 'spirit' details. It features black arms and black hands.
Legs
Dark Green legs with silver belt продолжение (continuation), tattered robe printing, and lime green accents on the knees and toes to match the torso's energy motif.
Accessories
Black spiked shoulder armor (Armor - Pauldrons with Spikes, part 19858). In the official sets, he usually wielded a lime green Aeroblade or a golden sword, though no weapon is shown in the image.
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Green, Black, and Lime Green. This specific color palette represents Lloyd's struggle while being possessed by Morro, the Master of Wind.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head (front), torso (front and back), and legs (front). The alignment of the belt from the torso to the hips is a key detail for this era.
Variants
There is a variant without the shoulder armor (njo139) found in lower-priced sets and a version with a different mask. This specific version represents the 'Heavy Armor' look.
Condition Notes
The black shoulder armor is prone to scratching. Check for 'cape fraying' if a cape was added (though not standard here). Dark green plastic is generally sturdy, but look for torso cracks at the arm joints.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 USD. New/Mint: $25.00 - $35.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the popularity of the Possession season among collectors.

Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja. During the 'Possession' arc, Lloyd is temporarily taken over by Morro, the ghost of Sensei Wu’s first student, which changed his appearance to include these darker, ethereal elements.
Design Notes
This figure marked a departure from the 'pure' green ninja aesthetic, introducing dark green and black to signify the darker narrative tone of Season 5.

Collectibility
High. The 'Possession' wave is considered one of the best designed eras of Ninjago, and Lloyd remains the most popular character for collection.
History
2015 was a pivotal year for Ninjago as it expanded into ghost-themed elements and introduced new transparent-colored weapons (Aeroblades) which this figure was designed to hold.
Interesting Facts
The 'energy' printing on the chest is meant to look like ghostly residue from Morro. Many fans use this head piece for customs because of the unique green eyes.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Morro Dragon or other 'ghost' ninjas from the 2015 wave. Use a lime green 1x2 brick as a stand to match the energy accents.
Modification Potential
The head and armor are highly sought after for 'Evil Lloyd' or custom 'Necromancer' builds in the Castle theme.
Overall Assessment
A standout Ninjago minifigure with great color contrast and thematic relevance. A must-have for fans of the 'Possession' storyline. Rating: 8.5/10.
