Year Released
2014. It debuted in the LEGO Ninjago Battle for Ninjago City (70728) set during the third season of the Masters of Spinjitzu show, a period where LEGO moved toward highly detailed prints.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited edition, it was restricted to only two sets from the Rebooted wave, making it harder to find than generic Lloyd variants from the same era.
Head
Yellow skin with a classic Lloyd expression (smirk and determined eyebrows). It includes his signature blond tousled hair piece and a dual-colored green and white wrap-around headband mask.
Torso
White torso with highly detailed 'Stone Armor' printing. Design features green and silver chainmail elements, a gold crest, and green sash. Back printing continues the armor detail.
Legs
White legs with green and silver printing to match the Stone Armor aesthetic. Hips are white with printed belt detailing. No side leg printing.
Accessories
Typically armed with a golden Technic dao blade or a standard katana. The figure in the image appears to be holding a gold weapon element, likely a specialized polearm or sword handle.
Color Scheme
Primary white and green, accented with pearl gold and silver metallic printing. This reflects his status as the Golden Ninja transitioning back to the Green Ninja.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. Notable for the intricate 'stone' texture effects on the torso and the clean alignment of the green accents against the white base plastic.
Variants
Variants of Lloyd from this era include the 'Golden Ninja' (njo073) and the 'Kimono' version. The Stone Armor variant is distinct for its white-base color palette.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'torso cracks' on the sides under the arms and fading of the gold printing on the chest if handled frequently. White plastic can yellow over time if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the golden printing.
Price (New)
Included in sets ranging from $30 (70725) to $120 (70728). Original individual CMF pricing does not apply as this was a set-exclusive figure.
Compatible Sets
70728 Battle for Ninjago City and 70725 Nindroid MechDragon.
Character Background
Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, the son of Lord Garmadon. In the Rebooted arc, he shares his golden power with the other ninjas, leading to this specific armored look used to fight the Overlord's Nindroid army.
Design Notes
The Stone Armor series was a design departure, using white as a primary color for the ninja to represent high-tech/holy protection against the digital virus threat.
Similar Minifigures
Kai (njo101), Jay (njo102), and Cole (njo103) in their respective Stone Armor variants.
Collectibility
High demand for Ninjago completionists. While not the most expensive Lloyd, it is a key 'form' required to complete a collection of Lloyd's various seasonal outfits.
History
Part of the 2014 'Rebooted' wave which revitalized Ninjago after its planned cancellation in 2013, solidifying the theme as a LEGO mainstay.
Interesting Facts
The armor is canonically called 'Techno-Robes' or 'Stone Armor' interchangeably in marketing materials. This is one of the few times Lloyd's primary color isn't green or gold.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed alongside the other three ninjas in their white 'Stone Armor' to show the team unity of the Rebooted Season finale.
Modification Potential
The white armor torso is popular for fantasy MOCs (My Own Creations) to create 'Paladin' or 'Holy Knight' characters.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 figure for the era. The metallic printing and unique white/green color blocking make it a standout Lloyd variant that holds its value well.
