Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
2016 - First appeared in set 70605 Misfortune's Keep during the peak of the original Ninjago television series hype.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the 2016 wave, he was exclusive to two specific sets and featured a unique lower-half mold, making him a targeted figure for Ninjago collectors.
Head
Bright orange skin with a distinctive expression featuring arched brows and black eyes. It includes a Dark Red bandana neck piece covering the mouth.
Torso
Orange torso with Dark Green armor/vest printing featuring a stylized white skull and cross-swords (Sky Pirates logo). Dark brown hands. The figure in the image is wearing a Dark Green shoulder armor piece (Pauldrons).
Legs
He utilizes a unique 'Ghost' lower body element (part 19859pb02). It is a dual-molded piece that transitions from a solid orange base with detailed printing into a translucent red flame/spirit trail.
Accessories
Usually comes with the Djinn Blade accessory (a clear blade with a trapped minifigure face inside). The figure in the image is holding a black spear/javelin accessory, which is not his primary standard weapon.
Color Scheme
A striking mixture of Bright Orange and Trans-Red accents, contrasted with Dark Green armor and Dark Red highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front/back and lower ghost tail. The tail printing features green belt straps and gold buckle details that line up with the torso.
Variants
There is only one official version of Nadakhan. He does not have 'human' or alternate outfit variants, making this the definitive version of the character.
Condition Notes
The Dark Red bandana is a soft plastic that can lose its shape. The translucent red tail piece is prone to minute scratches and 'fogging' if not stored properly. The shoulder armor can sometimes cause stress marks on the torso neck stub.
Estimated Value
Used complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD. New/Mint: $15.00 - $20.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the condition of the translucent tail piece.
Price (New)
He appeared in set 70605 ($79.99) and set 70594 ($69.99). He was never sold as a stand-alone polybag or cheap blister pack figure.
Compatible Sets
70605 Misfortune's Keep (2016), 70594 The Lighthouse Siege (2016).
Character Background
Nadakhan is a Djinn and the leader of the Sky Pirates. He is the main antagonist of Ninjago Season 6: Skybound, possessing the power to grant three wishes to trap souls within his Djinn Blade.
Design Notes
The use of the ghost-tail mold in trans-red was a significant design win for this figure, perfectly capturing his supernatural essence compared to traditional minifigure legs.
Similar Minifigures
General Kozu, Ghost Warriors (from Possession wave), and the recent Lord Ras figures share a similar 'powerful antagonist' aesthetic.
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completionists. He is a primary seasonal villain, and those figures almost always appreciate in value once the specific wave is retired.
History
Launched during the 'Skybound' era of Ninjago which introduced the pirate aesthetic to the theme, replacing the previous season's ghost-centric motifs.
Interesting Facts
Nadakhan is one of the few Ninjago villains who technically 'won' until Nya's final wish reset the timeline. The gold printing on his belt is notably metallic and catches light well.
Display Suggestions
Display on a transparent stand to give him a 'hovering' look. He looks best paired with Jay and Nya from the Skybound wave to recreate the season finale.
Modification Potential
The ghost tail piece is highly sought after for MOCs (My Own Creations) involving fire elementals or demonic entities.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier Ninjago villain figure due to the unique lower-body mold and fantastic color palette. It is a 'buy' for any collector of the series' main antagonists.
