LEGO Ninjago Minifigures - Zane DX


Zane DX is exclusive to Ninjago set Ice Dragon Attack (2260). The regular versions of the ninjas are covered separately.

Minifigure Parts and Accessories
Zane DX is composed of four parts, a white head wrap, head, torso, and legs.

The head wrap is a white variant of part x54 which was last seen in this color in the Vintage Minifigure Collection Vol. 5 (852769). There is a clip on the back of the wrap to hold weapons or other items.

The head is a new pattern with a stern look.

The torso features a new ninja gi print. There is a gold print dragon on the front breathing ice. On the back of the torso there is a spiky lion symbol with Zane's name spelled out along the bottom.

The hips and legs are white with a belt print which starts on the hips and extends down to the legs. The tail of the dragon from the torso also extends down to the legs.

Army Building Potential
The ABP for this figure is moderate to high. Ninjas need very little customization to fit into any Japanese clan. With the new torso print it could also easily be a leader or some other different type of rank ninja.

The Big Draw
It's a ninja! There really aren't any new parts here but ninjas are always sought after and a new one is always ready to join the party. The dragon print is also likely to be a sought after variant.

LEGO Bio
Cold and brilliant Ninja of Ice, Zane has remarkable endurance as well as resistance to cold. Although he is a valued member of the team, his lack of a sense of humor and strange manner sometimes makes the other ninja unsure of him. But in a fight, he is as brave as they come and has saved the day more than once.
