Color Scheme
A mix of White and Black with Pearl Dark Gray armor plating, accented by vibrant Lime Green and a central Red gem.
Printing Details
High-detail pad printing on the torso and the front of the legs. The alignment of the belt section between the torso and hips is a key quality marker.

Character Background
The Stone Army was an indestructible force created by the Overlord to take over Ninjago. They were later reactivated by Lord Garmadon using the Helmet of Shadows.
Design Notes
This figure marks the transition into more detailed limb printing for Ninjago minions, moving away from the simpler skeletons of Season 1.
Similar Minifigures
General Kozu (njo073), Stone Scout (njo071), and the newer Legacy versions of the Stone Army.
Collectibility
Moderate. Vital for fans wanting to build an accurate 'Legacy of the Green Ninja' army, but supply is relatively high.
History
Initially introduced in early 2013 as the primary antagonists for the final battle against the Golden Ninja.
Interesting Facts
The Stone Army was inspired by the real-world Terracotta Army of China, reflected in their 'ancient' armor aesthetic.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a formation flanking General Kozu or facing off against Golden Lloyd.
Modification Potential
The unique Pearl Dark Gray helmet is highly sought after for fantasy or sci-fi knight MOCs.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-detailed antagonist figure that captures the 'reanimated stone' aesthetic perfectly. Essential for Ninjago completionists.
