All of the pirate minifigs are probably gonna look lame, unless all of them dress up in their own unique style with the pirate logo on. However, Nadakhan Will be interesting. If all the ninja dress similarly to Kai (they will), then I don't see a reason to pick them up, as they look too similar to the deepstone armor versions. I think they will, since Zane only appears in one set. So if there's two outfits, why none for him? So in conclusion, i'm probably only gonna get one of these. Don't see a reason to get more, except the set design (hence why I said maybe one).

Really? Watch An Under worldly Takeover. Really? I'd be freaked out if those tried to get me. I mean, the heroes will probably encounter those lava things a lot, which are unanimously the goofiest mob Lego put into a show.

So what? They all become swag pirate ninja (pinga) or something? It could explain Kai's outfit in the polybag. Speaking? What's on Kai's chest anyway? It doesn't look like his lion logo.

Looks pretty realistic to me. What did he use?

So, mostly like the Saakran? Then again, carnage has a mix of blood and symbiote all over his body, so I guess that counts?

Kai's could use a bit of work in the center instead of what appears to be one piece. I love his visor though. Cole's mech concept looks very great, but it's too lean and weak for the strongest character of the team. Try adding a bit of chunkyness to it. Zane's titan mech, I am sorry to say, looks a bit too chunky, sorry. I really like the upgraded ninja head. The chunkiness works out really good for Nya's possessed mech, It looks awesome. I see for some of them, like Jay and Lloyd, you went for the samurai look, and it's amazing. Ninjago needs more samurai! Great work, really.

The extra build in the Titan Mech Battle is the Samurai X cave, where Nya's mech got possessed in the first place. The diorama is great, but I thought you guys would notice that.

Samukai in season 1. Anyways, Nya's martial arts kinda sucked until she had actual training, and it was generally agreed that she wasn't as good without her suit, as shown on multiple occasions. That being said, I voted Cryptor, since he and Morro had the most swag in the series. But unlike Morro, Cryptor was the only villain who could actually not only beat a ninja, but beat all the ninja. Too bad he probably isn't around anymore, unless he teleported out of the ice at the last second.

Dang it! It turns out that AmperZand proved they're not Japanese characters, it's not even eastern. However, they do look like edited Japanese, especially Kai and Jay's icons. Now I have to edit!

Why does everyone talk about the Space theme so much? My issue is the weapons. Why are there no tanto or wakizashi (short swords)?! They could make the roofs look good if used with the katana pieces...

Reboot of classic Ninja? Or when Ninjago ends, after a few years, there could be Japan themed sets with really cool castles and architecture. There would be more story then last time, like corruption (damiyo) and samurai minifigs with clan emblems (Edo, Tokugawa).

It isn't bright red, and it kinda looks brown where i'm standing. And the "blood" is in a circular shape, which looks weird. What about Carnage? Even Piell's scars look pretty weird... The Saakran has dried blood on it. That's pretty much all I could find.

For some reason, every time I hear Johnny Thunder, I think of Erron Black from Mortal Kombat. I mistook the two one time. Well, he is the coolest character in the game...

Thanks! It's a little odd that Lego didn't use actual Japanese; that would have made them look way cooler.

But, they knew that they were putting him in as a place holder, so it would be lame if it didn't have a connection with the final figure, which must have something in common with the beta minifig. Did you say a 4 armed ghost? Is the torso piece transparent? If so, why would Lego go out of their way to do that?

Maybe the samurai and the ghost are the same person? They're both dark green if I heard correctly...

Daaaaang! Neat work! Do you know what the font is called?

It was around 2013, people predicted a pirate season with a faction called "the stone army" and 4 keys to collect, and areas like tenebrae surget, and Jay's parent's getting kidnapped off undead pirates. I believed it was coming too. Since it was literally on my television guide on Dish tv. Someone put some blueprint minifigs, and someone took a real screenshot of one. But it was all fake. But now, since the pirate season is here, I was hoping Lego would actually make them, for underwater sunken ship sets or even underwater temple boss fights.

So now it's confirmed that the PWR suits are completely fake. Darn, would have been cool. Someone mentioned a dark green ninja thing and a dark green Samurai big fig. Are they the same person? The ninja minifigs look too similar to the 2015 versions though, which sucks. But not as much as the alliance between ghosts, snakes and pirates. You see, I thought that a great finale would be all of the major antagonists ally up (with redesigns to make them fresh, like a silver Cryptor), and malestorm skeletons return with Samukai(who is all black)

The symbols on Sensei Wu's kimono is a protection spell, as he says when Zane tells him about it (I don't know what the spell is... I think I saw it one time though.). The 4 other symbols on the ninja probably don't mean anything, which is why I assumed it to be the five regular elements. Kai's is definitely Japanese for fire though. I tried to look a bit closer, but the only one I kinda got right was Jay's which kinda looks like ¥ and I don't even know what it means. Garmadon and Sensei Wu have one character in common on both their kimonos: the first one. And it might not be Japanese even. Wu is a Chinese word. I don't think it means anything in English. The characters might be taken from other words, if anyone's tried that. Morro means "evil"? I thought it meant "dark". Like the dark kind of evil. There's 2 solutions to solve this translation mess: 1. Discuss this at http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=77032, as i'm probably gonna get locked for hosting this. 2. Get a legitimate translator of Chinese and/Japanese. Again ^that^ place. Oh, by the way I edited and added a major fact, if you haven't seen it. If you like your brain, you should probably stay away from it.

A lot of people tend to overlook the details and even the names of the figs. For example, everyone who went on the early website knows that DX means dragon xtreme and ZX means zen xtreme. But did you know why they chose zen? It's not because they thought ZX sounded cool, it was to even out the ninja, because zen means "balance" On the trading cards, the ninja were particularly weak in one element. For example Jay was weak in the earth element, which means he lacked in defense. So what happens in his ZX suit? Half of his torso is covered in armor, to better protect himself. And Cole was weak in the lightning element, which meant he lacked in speed. His ZX suit gave him light armor, so he can have sufficient protection and move faster, like Batman's batsuit. Zukin in Japanese means "hood". What's so special about the suit's hood? There's a symbol in Fusaka, referring to each ninja, who is assigned one. It's confirmed Chen gave the ninja the zukin suits because Kai's suit has almost the exact same knives as the ones in Kapau's armor strap. But does that mean that Chen gave zane his silver suit? It could be when Zane rebuilt himself, he just remade his body, and didn't make a suit for himself yet. And when he was brought to Chen, he gave him a titanium suit. Morro's mask is a two-piece mask. The green part of it is attached to his shirt, and the black one is attached to back cloth. I find it awesome how these suits are possible to make and wear in real life. These tidbits really show that Lego cares and actually puts thought into their work, even though their target audience is children (at least for their sets anyways...) Lloyd's element is actually nature. All of the ninja's powers = green ninja. Earth, fire, ice and lightning are the core elements of Ninjago, used to create it. More proof of this is in the games Ninjago Rush and The Final Battle. In Ninjago Rush, Lloyd's attack is a green spinjitzu tornado with leaves coming out of it. In The Final Battle, Lloyd's elemental icon (not the symbol. It can be a flame for Kai, A snowflake for Zane, etc.) is a leaf. This can also be linked with Lloyd's golden form. Lloyd taps internal nature from the world around him. (like the interior of a tree, I imagine it's life force as golden), and that is where Lloyd gets true energy. In the 2013 kimono suits, where there is usually a fusakan symbol at the top two buttons, Golden Lloyd instead has a target symbol, probably referring to the internal life force of something, or True Energy. More proof is that he shares a golden fighting style with The First Spinjitzu master, implying that he had the same ability as well. And why wouldn't he? Nature and internal energy/nature is what he used to create Ninjago. Think of it. Why did he use all four golden weapons? to combine all of their power to create nature. Don't believe it? Here's even more proof. In the episode "The Green Ninja", the ninja place all four of their weapons in very close proximity to Lloyd, and what happens? They all create a green aura around him. Boom. Mind gone. From 2011 to 2013, you would assume Garmadon was dead since he rules the underworld. How did he get there then? It turns out Garmadon was not dead. He was either alive or half dead. When Sensei used his protection spell to save him, Garmadon was struck with lightning. The impact charred his flesh (black skin) and his real ribs can be seen protruding from his chest. While the lightning hits Garmadon, his torso flashes black and normal, but his ribs are seen in both flashes. Also, Garmadon's kimono (identical to Wu's but purple instead of gray, as well as a red protection spell) was completely ruined, except the belt part of his kimono. A giant crack opens on the floor and takes Garmadon to the underworld. I'm pretty confused what Garmadon's status was. How did the lightning not kill him? It was also Ironic that Garmadon was hit with lightning as he was holding the nunchucks of lightning. The armor piece Garmadon wears in 2012 is conveniently horizontally rugged, which could be rib protection, since he didn't need rib protection before, since he was untouchable in the underworld. But ever since he went to the dark realm, he was real, and needed the armor, along side the crazy weapons he had to attack Wu. In 2013, Garmadon wears the same purple belt, but it's more proper. All of the skeleton's names are puns, implying that their names before their deaths were different. How could Frakjaw call himself that before huge cracks were visible on his forehead? (his fractured head is stitched together with an iron strip and a hammered bolt to hold it in place.) He did that before he died?. The name Bonezai might be referencing Bonsai from Ninja, as he went crazy trying to get the mystical rubies... And mabye he did.... The same goes to Samukai. It's a nickname of his former reputation. He also hated Garmadon with a passion. When Garmadon goes to the underworld, Samukai says, "it's payback time", meaning that Garmadon did something to him. He knew Garmadon when he was human, because he says "my, how you've changed." Look at Samukai's scars. Two over his eyes and one running sideways down his face. Garmadon most likely gave him that, as he probably wouldn't care if he caused the other two. The ninja wear elemental emblems on their suits whether it's on a badge or fastened by ropes. But each emblem isn't just there to look cool. It's also gives insight on the ninja's personality. Kai's emblem is a lion, and lions are fierce and have pride. Zane's emblem is an icy cat-like creature, probably referring to his cool and observant personality. Lloyd has a dragon which is known for being the guy in front, and is unafraid (like in season 5, where fear was the main theme), and for being pretty dang powerful in general. Remember "Day of The Dragon?" Everyone faced their fears and that's how they could summon their dragons. Cole's features what is most likely the cracked skull of some sort of burrowing animal. Guess we'll wait for the new vest suits to see. Remember the lost city of ouroboros? You think they picked that name just to look cool? An ouroboros is a depiction of a snake (and sometimes a dragon) swallowing it's tail. Remember the episode "day of the Great Devourer"? They trapped the giant snake by getting it to chase them in a full circle around a city block, and it ended up stuck very near it's tail, with it even being partially in it's mouth. It's also kind of Ironic, since an ouroboros is supposed to represent infinity, and Garmadon kills it. On the back of Lloyd's first suit, an ouroboros is also present, until rebooted came in... A very minuscule detail that only people with an actual figure could possibly notice, Titanium Zane has... Stuff on his visor. But it actually reads "PXL" backwards and what I think is an emoji face below it also backwards. Either way you see it, it just shows that P.I.X.A.L is still here. Nice touch from LEGO. The ninja almost always come with swords and sword holders, and the swords are almost always placed incorrectly on the sword holder. The way it is now is with the curved side facing the ground. This does not make sense, as if you were to then pull the sword out, one would actually be holding it backwards. The show does sometimes depict Kai having a sword the correct way, but usually it is not. Maybe LEGO thinks it looks cooler that way. I personally think the opposite. Does anyone else think it's weird that the original gis had no back prints in the sets, but prints on TV? And how Morro has back printing? Not fair Lego! XD Cowler the ghost is named after a cowl, which he sports. Wraith is Scottish for a "ghost" or a "spirit". Ghurka may be related to the "gurkha". They are Nepal soldiers, could be relating to how the ghosts are soldiers. And, Yokai is a parody of the term "yokai" which refer to Japanese spirits. Also, Zugu is a sauce/food. Zugu displays an admiration for food in general, so it might be a reference to that. The new double sword scabbard is being worn wrong already. In order to retrieve the swords, one would usually use their left hand to get the top sword, since it is closest, and their right hand to unsheathe the bottom sword, since it is furthest. But the way the swords are depicted in pictures is with both swords corner side to the ground. This is incorrect, as even though you will be able to retrieve the first (top) sword and have it blade side facing outward, the bottom sword will come out blade side facing you (the minifigure). So, the correct way to arrange the swords (if one usually unsheathes swords in the above fashion) is for the swords to be facing opposites to eachother, having the first sword corner side down, and having the second blade corner side facing upwards. It looks silly, but it would work realistically.

I can already tell that it will not be as serious as ninjago, as the combat does not appear to be as well choreographed as ninjago's. This show will probably turn out to be Chima, in my opinion. But one thing I really liked (similar to Chima) is the visual details to the characters and environment, but the animation looks a bit poor when it comes to fighting, like Chima's poor animations when it came to running (lol) The show doesn't need to take itself seriously to be good, but it feels like it's missing something.

Oh, thanks for the help. I'll give it a shot then.

I'm sorry for bumping such a late topic, but 1: No one actually answered his question on the entire internet (i'd like to know too) 2: New Japanese characters have been seen on stickers and on characters, a lot are puzzling to me. I think I can help out with the above question though. Each ninja's emblem (also seen on every suit variation after 2013) is most likely the Japanese term for fire, nature, ice, etc. since in the tournament of elements, the tournament gi the ninja wear has 4 symbols on it (for 4 elements) and each ninja's symbol (element) is taken from one of them, proving that the symbols are elements. I honestly think bumping this was the right thing.

Apparently Lego doesn't seem to have a problem with printing blood on their minifigures, There's Longtooth from Chima, Starkiller from Star Wars, and, most noticeably Winzar from Legends of Chima. But those are the only ones I've seen with those designs. The others turned out to be ketchup or grime. I'd really like to check out some of these minifigs, so if someone could give me some names, that would be cool. ( also, I didn't include scars, like Kai and Krait, since it isn't really.)
