Year Released
2014 - Debuted in set 70726 Destructoid. This era coincided with the third season of Ninjago: Masters of Spinjitzu, marking a shift toward a futuristic, tech-heavy aesthetic.
Rarity
Uncommon. While not a limited promotional figure, it only appeared in one retail set that had a relatively short shelf life compared to other Ninjago staples.
Head
Double-sided head; one side features Zane's standard robotic face with blue eyes and a determined look, while the reverse side shows severe damage, exposing silver robotic circuitry and inner components. The hair piece is the classic 'Flat Top' mold in white.
Torso
White torso with technological printing. It features a heavy duty 'Battle Scarred' aesthetic with grey and silver metallic scuffing, exposed wiring, and a blue energy core visible. One arm is standard white, the other is pearl dark grey to represent a prosthetic or damaged limb.
Legs
White legs with comprehensive technical printing. Frontal designs show armor plating, knee pads, and exposed grey/silver mechanical joints reflecting the robotic nature of the character.
Accessories
Usually paired with a techno-blade (a transparent-blue serrated blade) or silver katanas. The figure itself does not include additional armor pieces, relying on the detailed torso print.
Color Scheme
Primary white and black, accented with pearl dark grey, silver metallic, and transparent blue highlights.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing including back-torso details of power cells and mechanical housing. The metallic silver ink used for the 'damage' effect has a distinct reflective sheen common to the 2014 era.
Variants
Other Rebooted variants include njo084 (standard non-damaged) and njo105 (Titanium Zane from 2015). This specific variant is the only one with the exposed silver robotic arm.
Condition Notes
Watch for silver paint rubbing on the torso and hair piece tips. The pearl dark grey arm can develop stress marks at the shoulder socket more visibly than standard white plastic.
Estimated Value
New: $15-$20 USD | Used Complete: $8-$12 USD | Incomplete: $4-$6 USD depending on the integrity of the unique silver arm.
Price (New)
Originally included in the Destructoid (70726) which retailed for $34.99 USD in 2014.
Compatible Sets
70726 Destructoid (2014).
Character Background
Zane is the Elemental Master of Ice and a Nindroid. During the Rebooted arc, he discovers he is a robot and eventually sacrifices himself to defeat the Golden Master, leading to this 'Battle Scarred' appearance.
Design Notes
This figure is notable for the asymmetrical arm coloring, a design choice meant to convey the damage sustained during the Digital Overlord conflict without requiring new molds.
Similar Minifigures
Zane (njo084), General Cryptor (njo090), and Pixel (Digital variant).
Collectibility
High for Ninjago completists. Demand is stable as fans of the 'Rebooted' season often consider this the most visually striking version of Zane before his Titanium transformation.
History
Represents the midpoint of Zane's evolution from 'Human-passing' robot to the fully metallic 'Titanium Ninja' form introduced at the end of 2014/early 2015.
Interesting Facts
The 'damage' on the face print aligns perfectly with the storyline where Zane's faceplate is partially ripped off during a fight.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a tech-infused MOC or alongside the other four 'Rebooted' ninjas. UV protection is recommended to prevent the white plastic from yellowing.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'Apocalypse-style' Ninjago MOCs. The silver-damaged head is frequently used by customizers for other cyborg or robot characters.
Overall Assessment
A standout Ninjago figure due to its unique battle-worn detailing and asymmetrical color design. It is a 'buy' for anyone collecting the core Ninjago team variants.
