Collectibility
Moderate; desirable for Lloyd completists but common enough that it is not a primary investment piece.
History
Represents the 'Core' era of Ninjago which aimed to provide classic ninja designs for new fans without being tied to a specific TV season.
Interesting Facts
The 'Honor Robes' were designed to bridge the gap between traditional ninja gear and regal ceremonial armor.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside the other five 'Honor Robe' ninja figures for a complete team lineup.
Modification Potential
The hair piece is a popular part for custom Link (Legend of Zelda) minifigures when paired with a green tunic.
Overall Assessment
A sharp, well-designed variant of the main protagonist featuring excellent scale-mail printing and high thematic consistency.
