Crystalized · 2022
Figure ID
njo763
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2022
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While released in 2022, it was exclusive to a high-priced set (71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH), making it difficult for collectors to acquire without purchasing the full set.
Head
Transparent yellow with blue eyes and lightning energy patterns. It features a unique 'Dragon Form' mask/helmet in Pearl Gold that mimics the facial features of a dragon.
Torso
Pearl Gold with light blue and dark blue lightning energy designs. The printing includes gold armor plating with a crystalline texture consistent with the Crystalized wave.
Legs
Transparent yellow with detailed printing that continues the lightning and gold armor motif from the torso, creating a cohesive 'energy' look.
Accessories
Two Pearl Gold nunchucks with transparent yellow rods (blades), mimicking electric energy. This specific figure uses the Dragon Sword hilt mold for the nunchuck handles.
Color Scheme
Pearl Gold and Trans-Yellow (primary) with Bright Blue and White accents to represent the element of Lightning.
Printing Details
Extremely high-quality pad printing on transparent plastic. Includes printing on the front and back of the torso and the front/sides of the legs to maintain visual continuity.
Variants
This is the 'Dragon Form' variant. There are other Crystalized versions of Jay including the 'Golden Dragon' version (njo755) and 'Core' versions, but the transparent yellow plastic is unique to this form.
Condition Notes
Prone to micro-scratches on the transparent plastic. The Pearl Gold mask can show stress marks if removed roughly. Check the neck joint for cracks which is common in transparent LEGO bricks.
Estimated Value
$10.00 - $15.00 USD (Used), $18.00 - $25.00 USD (New). Value is rising as the Crystalized wave is retired.
Price (New)
Originally included in set 71775 which retailed for $119.99 USD.
Compatible Sets
71775 Nya's Samurai X MECH (2022).
Character Background
Jay Walker, the Ninja of Lightning, achieves this 'Dragon Form' during the final battle against the Overlord in the Crystalized season of Ninjago, tapping into the power of the Golden Weapons.
Design Notes
Uses revolutionary dual-molding and transparent plastic techniques. The use of Trans-Yellow for the body parts is a departure from standard minifigure construction.
Similar Minifigures
Kai - Dragon Form (njo765), Cole - Dragon Form (njo764), Zane - Dragon Form (njo766).
Collectibility
High. Completionist Ninjago collectors seek all 'Dragon Form' ninja. This is considered the 'ultimate' version of Jay for the Crystalized era.
History
Represents the culmination of Jay's power evolution after 11 years of Ninjago sets. Released during the 'soft finale' of the original Ninjago series run.
Interesting Facts
The 'Dragon Form' masks are some of the most complex headgear molds LEGO has produced for a Ninjago wave, requiring specific precision to align with the head printing.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a black stand to contrast the transparent yellow plastic. Looks best when backlit by LED lights to make the energy-infused plastic 'glow'.
Modification Potential
Excellent for elemental MOCs. The trans-yellow limbs are often used by customizers to create ghosts, energy beings, or superheroes like The Flash.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Ninjago minifigure. The combination of Pearl Gold and transparent plastic makes it a visual standout in any collection. Highly recommended for fans of the Wave 15/16 storyline.
