Rarity
Very Rare; this version is exclusive to the 2018 LEGO Ninjago Bricktober Pack (5005257). Because it was a limited-time promotional item available only through Toys R Us (in select regions) or LEGO Stores, it has much higher scarcity than standard set minifigures.

Torso
Red torso with black and silver muscle/tunic detailing. The design features a sleeveless look on the arms (red arms) with dark red hands. The printing depicts the 'Hunted' ragtag aesthetic with straps and metallic accents.
Legs
Black legs with intricate silver, red, and dark grey plating and armor printing. The design follows the 'Hunted' style featuring knee pads and leather-like strapping details.
Accessories
Includes a Pearl Dark Gray double-bladed battle axe (consisting of a long bar and a large axe blade). In the image, the user has equipped a standard light bluish gray battle axe.
Color Scheme
Primary Red and Black with Silver metallic accents and Dark Red hands. This reflects Skylor's identity as the Master of Amber while she disguised herself as a Red Ninja.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso (front and back), and legs (front). The silver printing has a metallic sheen consistent with 2018-era LEGO quality standards.

Character Background
Skylor Chen is the Elemental Master of Amber, capable of mimicking other elemental powers. During Season 9: Hunted, she led the resistance in Ninjago City against Lord Garmadon’s Sons of Garmadon while the original Ninja were stranded in the Realm of Oni and Dragons.
Design Notes
Unlike her earlier orange-themed outfits, this design is darker and more aggressive, reflecting her role in the resistance. The metallic printing on the legs is significantly more detailed than the standard Ninjago wave figures of that year.

Collectibility
High. She is a fan-favorite character with limited minifigure iterations. The Bricktober exclusivity makes her a 'holy grail' for completionist Ninjago collectors.
History
Skylor first appeared in 2015. This 2018 version marked a significant departure from her civilian or elemental outfits, providing a combat-ready resistance fighter aesthetic that hasn't been revisited since.
Interesting Facts
The 2018 Bricktober packs were nearly canceled or made extremely difficult to find in the US due to the bankruptcy and closure of Toys R Us that year, leading to a massive spike in the secondary market price almost immediately upon release.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the Resistance heroes from the Hunted wave or within a custom Ninjago City street scene. A black or red backlit stand highlights the metallic silver leg printing.
Modification Potential
The legs are highly sought after by MOC (My Own Creation) builders for futuristic or cyberpunk soldiers/knights due to the universal armored look. The torso is also popular for custom superhero figures.
Overall Assessment
This is a premium, highly desirable minifigure. Its unique printing and limited distribution method make it a standout piece in any collection. For Ninjago fans, it is a recommended 'Buy' as the character's popularity and the pack's rarity ensure long-term value retention.
