Description

A ship shaped like a skull

At the centre of the set is a small cave ship whose bow is shaped like a skull, giving it a look that leans on classic pirate and adventure imagery while staying firmly within Ninjago's fantasy style. The ship includes moving details such as an opening jaw mechanism and flip-out sections that can be triggered during play. That combination of cave and ship themes sets it apart from most other Ninjago vehicles, which tend to travel by land or air instead. Rock formations along the sides make it look as though the ship is growing straight out of the cave wall.

Traps and a treasure chamber

Alongside the ship itself, the set includes several small trap elements, such as collapsing wall sections and hidden mechanisms typical of the dungeon side of the Ninjago range. A small treasure chamber with matching accessories rounds out the scene and gives the minifigures a clear goal within the story. That gives the set more play options than a straightforward vehicle set without any surrounding environment.

Four minifigures between heroes and villains

The four included minifigures split between at least one ninja hero and several villains from the dungeon faction, each equipped with their own weapons. That is enough to stage a small confrontation over the treasure chamber straight out of the box, without needing any other sets. For collectors who already own Ninjago sets, these figures add to the roster of heroes and villains from the underground storyline.

Colours and part variety

Dark grey, light grey, reddish brown and black define the look of the set, creating a gloomy, cave-like mood that fits the dungeon theme. With 154 unique parts across 402 pieces, the set offers unusually high part variety for its size, which shows especially in details like rock formations and trap mechanisms. The parts list on this page breaks down which pieces also work well in your own cave or ruin builds.
