Figure ID
njo545 or njo520
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2019. This version debuted with the Season 11 wave which introduced the FS (Forbidden Spinjitzu) style and shifted the animation style for the LEGO Ninjago TV show.
Rarity
Uncommon. While part of a main wave, this specific torso and leg combination appeared in only a few sets compared to more generic Ninja suits.
Head
Standard yellow head with Jay's signature brown eyebrows, a distinct notch in the right eyebrow, and a confident smirk. The headgear is the two-part FS hood system: a blue base with a silver crown/forehead emblem and a blue wrap.
Torso
Dark blue and black design with light blue lightning accents. It features a diagonal cross-over robe style (kimono-like) and silver circular emblems/buttons. The arms are blue with black hands.
Legs
Black legs with blue printing that continues the robe's hem and includes blue 'wraps' or bandages around the ankles to simulate ninja boots.
Accessories
Equipped with a custom kusarigama/nunchuck hybrid consisting of a gold handle, a gold chain, and a Trans-Bright Green jagged blade (often used to represent a lightning-infused or Lloyd-adjacent elemental weapon in MOCs, though Jay's primary FS weapon was the Nunchucks of Lightning).
Color Scheme
A mix of Dark Blue, Blue, Black, and Silver accents. The gold and trans-green of the weapon provide sharp contrasting highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing. The lightning detailing on the torso is crisp. The transition of the belt and robe from the torso to the hip and legs is well-aligned, typical of 2019-era quality control.
Variants
There are several Season 11 variants: the 'FS' (Forbidden Spinjitzu) version includes a specialized 'powered up' hood and translucent cape; this is the standard 'Reignited' suit version.
Condition Notes
The gold chain is prone to snapping if pulled too hard. Check the neck and torso sides for hair-line cracks. The silver printing on the forehead of the mask can sometimes rub off with heavy play.
Estimated Value
Used: $5 - $8 USD | New (extracted from set): $10 - $14 USD. The price is stable due to the high volume of Jay variants available on the market.
Price (New)
N/A individually; primarily found in sets ranging from $20 (Jay's Storm Fighter) to $100+ (Castle of the Forsaken Emperor).
Compatible Sets
70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu (Legacy version similarities), 70668 Jay's Storm Fighter, and 70677 Land Bounty.
Character Background
Jay Walker (born Jay Gordon) is the Elemental Master of Lightning. He is known for his fast-talking, comedic relief, and relationship with Nya. This version represents him during the quest into the Never-Realm.
Design Notes
This era of design moved away from the complex Movie-inspired prints toward a more 'functional' ninja aesthetic that blended Classic Ninjago with modern textures.
Similar Minifigures
FS Jay (njo528) with the translucent hood, Legacy Jay (njo490), and Season 13 Hero Jay.
Collectibility
Moderate. Collectors aiming to complete every 'Team Suit' wave will need this figure, but it is not a high-value 'grail' piece like the early DX or NRG variants.
History
Following the LEGO Ninjago Movie, the character designs were updated to match the movie faces (like Jay's hair and eyebrow scar), which is reflected in this 2019 release.
Interesting Facts
The 'Reignited' suits are unique because they were designed to look like tactical gear rather than traditional cloth gi, featuring more black panelling on the sides of the torso.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five Ninja in their Season 11 suits on a grey or white baseplate to simulate the snowy Never-Realm. Use trans-blue 'lightning' pieces for a dynamic pose.
Modification Potential
Excellent for custom lightning ninjas; the torso is generic enough for high-tech sci-fi MOCs. The trans-green blade part is highly sought after for Cyberpunk or futuristic weaponry.
Overall Assessment
A solid, well-designed figure that captures the 'Lightning Ninja' essence perfectly. While common, its design is one of the more visually balanced suits for Jay. Rating: 7/10.
