Figure ID
njo541
Theme
Ninjago
Year Released
Released in 2019 during the summer wave of the Ninjago Season 11 product launch.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While mass-produced in two sets, she is an exclusive main antagonist and her unique dual-molded large snake elements make her highly sought after.
Head
The head is a large, specialized dual-molded piece in black and trans-orange, featuring a cobra hood, glowing eyes, and textured scales. This piece is unique to this character.
Torso
White torso with purple and dark-red ornate armor printing, featuring a jewel center. It includes white arms and purple hands to match her snake-like aesthetic.
Legs
Large black snake tail (lower body) with a coiled design. It features intricate printing with gold and dark red patterns, including Ninjago script characters.
Accessories
Pearl gold scimitar (serrated blade) as shown. In sets, she often also carries the Scroll of Forbidden Spinjitzu on a staff.
Color Scheme
Primary colors are black, white, and pearl gold, with secondary accents of purple and trans-orange (magma/fire effects).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the torso front and back, and the front of the tail piece. The head features dual-molding rather than surface printing for the eyes and fire effects.
Variants
There are two main versions: njo541 (the standard version with the long tail) and njo547 (the 'Legacy' or smaller version with standard legs/shorter tail in some contexts). This is the full serpentine version.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the tip of the tail and the neck connection. Trans-orange plastic in the head can show stress marks if dropped. The gold printing on the tail is prone to scratching.
Estimated Value
Approximately $10.00 - $18.00 USD for a used complete figure; $20.00+ for a new/pristine version. Prices vary based on the inclusion of the specialized scroll accessory.
Price (New)
Included in sets priced between $49.99 (70674 Fire Fang) and $129.99 (70677 Land Bounty).
Compatible Sets
70674 Fire Fang and 70677 Land Bounty.
Character Background
Aspheera is a Serpentine sorceress and the primary antagonist of the Fire Chapter of Season 11. She was imprisoned for centuries by Wu and Garmadon before being released to seek revenge.
Design Notes
Features a groundbreaking dual-molded head/hood piece that integrates transparent plastic into solid black to simulate internal fire. The tail piece is a reused mold from previous Serpentine generals but with unique printing.
Similar Minifigures
Pythor P. Chumsworth (njo132), Skales, and other Serpentine Generals with tail pieces. Also similar to the 'Pyro Vipers' from the same wave.
Collectibility
Highly collectible as a primary Ninjago villain. Character-specific unique molds usually retain or increase in value as the theme ages.
History
Follows the lineage of LEGO's Serpentine characters starting in 2012, representing the peak of detail for the snake-style lower body figures.
Interesting Facts
The Ninjago script on her tail translates roughly to 'Snake' or 'Serpentine' related terms. She was the first major female Serpentine leader introduced in the show.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display on a rocky or volcanic MOC baseplate. Looks best when placed next to her 'Fire Fang' snake construct or opposite Kai in his FS (Forbidden Spinjitzu) form.
Modification Potential
The tail piece is popular for MOCs involving Nagas or Medusa characters. The head is very character-specific and harder to repurpose for general customs.
Overall Assessment
An excellent, high-detail minifigure with a 9/10 desirability rating for Ninjago fans. The unique head mold and striking color contrast make it a standout piece in any collection.
