Description

A dragon built as a moving mech

Cyber Dragon combines Ninjago's classic dragon silhouette with a more mechanical, technical look. With 527 pieces and 184 unique elements, the model has an above-average part variety for its size, reflected in articulated joints, wings and detailed head features. That level of element variety makes the build more intricate than sets with a similar piece count but fewer distinct parts. The moving joints at the neck and wings in particular let the finished dragon be posed in different positions. The exact breakdown is available in the parts list on this page.

Blue and black as Jay's colours

The black, blue, dark bluish grey and dark azure colour scheme ties the set clearly to Jay, whose signature blue has marked him out since the earliest Ninjago waves. Black and dark grey form the dragon's mechanical framework, while blue and dark azure appear as accents on the head, wings and armour pieces. That colour logic runs through several of Jay's vehicles across the theme, making the set easy to identify even without its box. For collectors specifically hunting blue-heavy Ninjago models, the colour breakdown is a useful first signal.

Five minifigures for storytelling

With five minifigures, Cyber Dragon is one of the more figure-heavy sets in its size class. That means the dragon can be built into full scenes with multiple characters rather than standing alone, from ninja versus villain confrontations to team-ups. For collectors and fans of the show, the minifigure lineup often matters as much as the vehicle itself, especially since weapons and accessories work equally well away from the dragon in other play scenes.

Parts for further builds

Beyond the finished model, the 184 unique elements in Cyber Dragon are useful for other mech or dragon-style builds. The articulated joint pieces and distinctive blue tones combine well with other Ninjago sets, whether for a custom creature or a new vehicle design. The full parts list on this page shows exactly what is included and in what quantity, useful groundwork before starting a custom build.
