Year Released
2015
Rarity
Uncommon. He was exclusively available in the Dojo Showdown set and the Bricktober 2015 Ninjago Minifigure Collection pack.
Head
Yellow head with two expressions: one cocky grin and one angry scowl. Features a vertical scar over the left eye and prominent eyebrows.
Torso
White torso with orange, black, and silver technical details. Features the Elemental Master of Smoke emblem (a flame-smoke wisp) and an orange V-neck opening.
Legs
White legs with orange and silver tech-pad printing on the right leg; left leg is unprinted. White hip piece.
Accessories
Spiked black and orange hair piece (molded dual-color). Originally came with two silver katanas, though this specific photo shows the figure holding a black submachine gun (standard LEGO weapon part 60849).
Color Scheme
Primary white body with orange, black, and metallic silver accents.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and single leg. The orange and silver prints are vibrant and typical of the 2015 Ninjago era's high standard.
Variants
Standard version (njo127) and a variation in the Bricktober 2015 pack which is identical in design but packaged as a promotional item.
Condition Notes
Common wear includes friction marks on the white torso and legs. The dual-molded hair piece is prone to lose its 'clutch' over time if removed frequently.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New (extracted): $10 - $15 USD. The value remains steady but lower than major ninja characters.
Price (New)
Retail context: Dojo Showdown (Set 70756) was $24.99; Bricktober 2015 pack was a $19.99 purchase gift or standalone retail in some regions.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Ash is the Elemental Master of Smoke who participated in Master Chen’s Tournament of Elements. He has the ability to transform into smoke to avoid attacks.
Design Notes
The hair piece (18897) is a highlight, featuring sharp triangular spikes with orange tips on a black base. It was a new mold for 2015.
Similar Minifigures
Other Elemental Masters from the same wave such as Neuro (njo132), Griffin Turner (njo121), and Gravis (njo138).
Collectibility
Moderate. Vital for Ninjago fans completing the roster of Elemental Masters, which is a popular sub-collection goal.
History
Debuted during the 'Tournament of Elements' wave (Skybound era predecessor), marking the first time LEGO expanded the Ninjago lore to include numerous side characters with powers.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an Elemental Master of 'Smoke,' his color scheme relies heavily on orange and white rather than grey, likely to make him stand out against 'Ghost' characters.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a Tournament of Elements MOC or a stadium-seating shelf alongside Chen and the other elemental contestants.
Modification Potential
Excellent for street-punk customs or futuristic pilots due to the high-tech white suit and rare spiky hair piece.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed character with a unique hair mold. While not as expensive as some Ninjago exclusives, he is essential for completionists.
