Figure ID
njo631
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2021 (Jan 1st), introduced during the 10th-anniversary wave of the Ninjago theme.
Rarity
Uncommon. This version was available in a specific set (71735) and a magazine gift, making it widely accessible initially but now increasing in value as the set has retired.
Head
Dual-sided face with green eyes; one side features a determined/serious look, the reverse shows a more aggressive 'battle shout.' Includes a bright green wrap-style mask with a Pearl Gold 'Legacy' helmet/visor piece.
Torso
Bright green with dark green arms and black hands. The torso print features a green shinobi robe with gold trim detailing, a belt with a gold emblem, and subtle muscle definition.
Legs
Bright green legs with dark green hip piece. Includes subtle olive green/dark green printing details representing the lower folds of the gi and knee wraps.
Accessories
Equipped with two Pearl Gold katanas (swords). Some versions included a pearl gold shoulder armor piece and extra weapons depending on the set context.
Color Scheme
A monochromatic green palette (Bright Green and Dark Green) accented by Pearl Gold for the weapons, helmet visor, and trim.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the front and back of the torso and the front of the legs. The mask is a dual-molded style part which was revolutionary for Ninjago legacy figures.
Variants
Several 'Legacy' Lloyds exist; this one specifically matches the 'Tournament of Elements' sub-aesthetic. It differs from the 10th Anniversary Gold Lloyd (njo654) which is entirely chrome/gold.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the gold paint on the katanas chipping over time and potential stress marks on the side of the torso from over-insertion of the arms.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD; New/Mint: $10 - $15 USD. Value is stable but likely to rise as Legacy sets become vintage.
Price (New)
Available in set 71735 Tournament of Elements ($29.99 USD retail), roughly $4.28 per figure cost in that set.
Compatible Sets
71735 Tournament of Elements, 112108 (Ninjago Magazine Gift), and various polybags.
Character Background
Lloyd Garmadon, the Green Ninja and Master of Energy. This figure represents his appearance during the reimagined 'Legacy' version of the Tournament of Elements arc.
Design Notes
The dual-molded mask and 'Legacy' gold accents were part of a coordinated design effort to refresh 2014-2015 designs for modern standards.
Similar Minifigures
njo496 Lloyd (Legacy - FS), njo587 Lloyd (Legacy - Jungle), and the original 2015 Lloyd (njo127).
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. Lloyd is the most popular character in the franchise, and Legacy versions are the gold standard for many collectors.
History
This model represents the 2021 evolution of Ninjago's design language, moving away from simple printing into complex layered textures and metallic highlights.
Interesting Facts
This specific suit is a hybrid design that doesn't strictly appear in the original TV show in this exact configuration, but was created specifically for the 'Legacy' merchandise line.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed with the other four Ninja in their matching 2021 Legacy robes or alongside the Garmadon or Overlord 'Legacy' figures for a battle scene.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'purist' MOCs. The torso is highly sought after for creating custom green-themed knights or soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A solid, high-detail representation of Ninjago's protagonist. It is an essential piece for anyone building a 'Hall of Armor' for the Green Ninja.
