Year Released
2017: Released as part of the fourth wave of the Nexo Knights theme, featuring the shift from lava monsters to stone monsters.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare: Exclusive to only one mid-sized set (70349), making him harder to find than standard foot soldiers like Stone-Stompers.
Head
Transparent Fluorescent Orange head with an angry face print; features a sand green 'Stone spiky' hair/crown mold that is unique to this character wave.
Torso
Neon Orange torso with stone armor, gold plating, and a red center gem print. Bright orange arms and stone-grey hands.
Legs
Large printed robe/skirt piece (2x2x2 slope) in bright orange with detailed gold stone-etching and dark red inner robe printing.
Accessories
Includes two 1x1 printed 'Forbidden Power' tiles representing magical shields/books and a unique triple-pointed red fabric cape with a jagged edge.
Color Scheme
A striking contrast of Bright Neon Orange, Sand Green (stone), and Metallic Gold with a transparent base.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front of the torso and the large 2x2x2 slope robe piece. The lines represent stone engravings and metallic armor plates.
Variants
This is the only version of this character released by LEGO.
Condition Notes
The sand green headpiece has thin 'spikes' that can snap if bent. The neon orange parts are prone to micro-cracking at the arm sockets over time.
Estimated Value
Used: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New (taken from sealed set): $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the presence of the fragile cape.

Character Background
Ruina (also known as Ruina Stoneheart) is a high-ranking stone gargoyle witch in Jestro's army and is later revealed in the lore to be Clay Moorington's mother.
Design Notes
Uses a transparent rounded bottom piece to simulate a floating or ghost-like movement, combined with a rare triple-pronged cape design.
Similar Minifigures
Jestro (Stone Version), General Magmar, and various Stone-Stompers from the Nexo Knights 2017 wave.
Collectibility
Moderate to High for Nexo Knights fans; the lore connection to the main hero (Clay) makes her a priority for theme completionists.
History
Launched during the 'Stone Monster' arc which attempted to revitalize the theme before its cancellation. It stands as one of the most visually distinct female villains in LEGO history.
Interesting Facts
Despite her name being 'Ruina' in the TV show and marketing, she is often listed simply as 'Ruin' or 'Stone Gargoyle' in some database inventory lists.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent stand to enhance the 'floating' effect created by her bottom piece, alongside Clay or Jestro.
Modification Potential
The sand green crown and 2x2x2 sloped dress piece are highly sought after by MOC builders for creating custom fantasy wizards or statues.
Overall Assessment
A visually stunning minifigure with a unique silhouette (due to the dress and cape). A must-have for Nexo Knights collectors due to her story importance and unique molding.
