LEGO Ninjago Minifigures - Lord Garmadon


Lord Garmadon is exclusive to the Ninjago set Garmadon's Dark Fortress (2505).

Minifigure Parts and Accessories
Garmadon is composed of four parts - helmet, head, torso, and legs.

The helmet is part x63 which most recently returned with the Series 3 Samurai. The color of the helmet is a metallic silver. There is a new small bone accessory that fits in the clip at the top of the helmet.

The head is black with a sliver, fanged facial expression and red eyes. The print is similar to a samurai facial mask often worn with their 'kabuto' or helmets. The head is not dual-sided.

The entire torso is black with silver 'rib' print and a purple sash on the front. There is no print on the back of the torso

The hips and legs are black with no print.

Army Building Potential
The ABP for this figure is moderate. Multiples of this character would be desirable, but the price point of the current set he comes it would be prohibitive.

The Big Draw
The two biggest draws are the silver samurai helmet and the head. The head could easily be used in a wide variety of customs. With the return of the samurai a more metallic helmet will also be sought after.

LEGO Bio
Sensei Wu's evil brother, Lord Garmadon dwells in a castle in the Underworld. He uses lies, trickery, and the power of the skeleton legions to try to achieve his sinister goals. Only Sensei Wu has ever been able to defeat him, and even the Sensei is not sure he could do it a second time.
