Description

A poseable creature as the centrepiece

Unlike many Ninjago vehicles, 71746 is not built around technology but around a creature: a jungle dragon with an articulated head, jaw, wings and tail. Creature builds like this need plenty of joints and specialised pieces so the finished figure can actually be posed rather than staying rigid. At 506 pieces, the set has enough substance to give the model real presence, working equally well as an opponent in play scenes or as a stand-alone display piece. The scale also means the dragon holds its own visually next to several Ninjago vehicles rather than fading into the background.

Four minifigures for battle and story

Four minifigures come with the set, a solid line-up by Ninjago standards for scenes built around the dragon. That is enough to stage either a team effort by several ninja or a one-on-one confrontation with the creature itself. Fans following the Ninjago story can slot the figures into the ongoing plot, while anyone else still gets enough figures to vary the roles in a scene rather than sending a single character up against the dragon alone. A split team, part defenders and part dragon riders, is also easy to stage with four figures on hand.

156 parts in turquoise, gold and sand green

Of the 506 pieces, 156 are unique shapes, mostly in dark turquoise, dark bluish grey, pearl gold and sand green. That combination gives the model an exotic look that stands apart from the darker colour schemes common on many other Ninjago vehicles. The pearl gold elements in particular are less common in LEGO parts generally, which makes them worth noting for anyone hunting specific colours for their own builds.

Checking the parts list for joints and specials

Because a creature build like this relies heavily on articulated, specialised pieces, it is worth checking the parts list on this page before buying or extending the set: it shows exactly which joints and connectors give the head, wings and tail their movement. That makes it easier to look for similar parts for other creature builds, or to judge in advance how involved the rebuild is likely to be.
