Primary Bright Green and Dark Green, accented with Black and Flat Silver. This palette is the signature of the Green Ninja (Lloyd Garmadon).

Condition Notes
Check for silver paint wear on the torso and legs. The black shoulder armor can occasionally show white stress marks if the swords are forced. Neck wrap printing should be aligned with the face.

Character Background
Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon is the Green Ninja, Elemental Master of Energy, and the son of Lord Garmadon. He transitioned from a bratty child to the ultimate leader of the ninja team.
Design Notes
The Legacy design captures a more modern, detail-heavy aesthetic compared to the original 2012-2013 versions while maintaining the iconic green and black silhouette.
Similar Minifigures
Lloyd - Kimono (njo073), Lloyd - FS (njo542), and Lloyd - Hands of Time (njo278).
Collectibility
Moderate. It is a staple figure for any Ninjago fan's collection but lacks the extreme rarity of 'Golden' or 'Tournament' exclusives.
History
Lloyd figures have evolved from sleeveless robes to high-tech armor. This 2019 'Legacy' version represents the bridge between old-school Ninjago and the modern 'Wildbrain' era of the show.
Interesting Facts
The 'Legacy' theme was requested by fans to allow newer builders to get versions of characters from sets that were retired and expensive on the secondary market.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other 4 'Legacy' ninja from 2019 (Kai, Jay, Zane, Cole) to complete the team uniform look. Use a transparent 'action stand' to show him in a mid-air strike.
Modification Potential
Excellent for MOCs. The torso/legs provide a great 'Green Knight' or forest ranger aesthetic for D&D or Castle-themed custom builds.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-detail representation of the character. While not rare, it is an essential 'standard' Lloyd that perfectly captures the character's core identity.
