Year Released
2021. Released as part of the Season 14 'The Island' wave, appearing in sets alongside the 'Legacy' branding which reimagines earlier designs.
Rarity
Common to Uncommon. While he appeared in multiple sets of varying price points, he is currently out of production, making him slightly harder to find in mint condition than current shelf items.
Head
Yellow head with dual-sided printing: one side features a determined scowling expression with green eyes and a scar over the left eye; the other features a combat-ready smirk. Topped with a deep green ninja wrap/cowl with a black headband print.
Torso
Green torso with front and back printing. The design features an 'Island' aesthetic with a jagged, lime-green energy trim, a black strap or sash across the chest, and tattered robe detailing. Arms are solid green with green hands.
Legs
Green legs with printing on the hips and front of the legs. Features a continuation of the black sash and grey belt from the torso, with dark green knee padding and tactical strap details.
Accessories
Usually paired with a silver katana or a bone-style machete and a scabbard. The figure in the image is missing its handheld weaponry and back-mounted scabbard.
Color Scheme
Primary Bright Green and Dark Green, accented with Lime Green energy highlights, Black sashes, and Silver/Grey belt clips.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the 2020s era. Includes detailed 'weathered' textures on the robes and crisp transition lines between the belt and leg printing.
Variants
Lloyd has dozens of variants; this specific 'Island' version is distinguished by the lightning-bolt-like lime trim and the absence of heavy golden armor found in the 'Jungle' or 'Legacy' core versions.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck hitches (cracking) and the silver printing on the belt which can rub off with play. The green cowl piece is prone to 'clutch power' loss over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $4.00 - $6.00 / New: $7.00 - $10.00. Value is currently stable but tends to rise slightly as specific seasons of Ninjago become 'nostalgic'.
Price (New)
N/A (Individual figure). Came in sets ranging from $20.00 (71745) to $110.00 (71747).
Compatible Sets
71745 Lloyd's Jungle Chopper Bike (2021), 71747 The Keepers' Village (2021), and 71748 Catamarans Sea Battle (2021).
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Golden Ninja and Elemental Master of Energy. In 'The Island' arc, the ninja travel to a mysterious island to find Master Wu and Misako, leading to this jungle-survivalist outfit design.
Design Notes
This version utilizes the post-Ninjago Movie aesthetic (scared/green-eyed face) combined with a more rugged, organic print style compared to the sleek tech-suits of other seasons.
Similar Minifigures
Island Kai (njo636), Island Jay (njo637), and Jungle Robe Lloyd (njo279) from the Movie line.
Collectibility
Moderate. Every Ninjago collector needs a Lloyd, and 'The Island' is a visually distinct sub-theme, though common enough that it isn't a 'grail' figure.
History
Lloyd debuted as a 'child' figure in 2012 (njo043) and has evolved from a villainous kid to the leader of the team. This 2021 version represents his peak 'Legacy' design language.
Interesting Facts
The 'Island' sub-theme design was heavily inspired by Polynesian and tribal aesthetics, a departure from the usual urban or high-fantasy Ninjago settings.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the other four 'Island' ninjas on a jungle-themed MOC baseplate or in a standard CMF frame with green lighting.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Jungle' or 'Post-Apocalyptic' MOCs. The torso/legs are versatile for creating generic forest warriors or rangers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed figure that captures a specific moment in Ninjago history. Grade: 7/10 for design, 4/10 for investment potential.
