Description

A dragon built for Jay

As the master of lightning, Jay is one of the central ninja in the Ninjago story, and this set is built around his personal dragon in an updated 'EVO' version. EVO models like this one typically build on an earlier vehicle or creature belonging to the same character, adding new details or a reworked shape. At 140 pieces, the dragon stays compact enough for a quick build while still showing clear dragon features such as wings, a head and an articulated body.

A colour scheme built on thunder

Dark azure, dark bluish grey, bright light yellow and light bluish grey make up the colour scheme, tying directly into Jay's element: the bold yellow recalls lightning, while the grey and blue tones give the model a stormy feel. That combination sets the dragon clearly apart from the fire or ice dragons built for other Ninjago characters. The parts list on this page can be filtered by colour across all 56 different elements, useful for anyone hunting for a specific piece.

Two minifigures for storytelling

The set includes two minifigures, which is relatively generous for a 140-piece build and leaves room for small duels or rescue scenes alongside the dragon. That's typical for Ninjago sets, which often pair a ninja with an opponent so scenes can be acted out straight away. Anyone who already owns other Ninjago sets can drop these figures and the dragon straight into existing scenes without much extra work. The dragon also stands on its own as a fantasy creature outside of any particular scene.

A compact dragon with real detail

At 140 pieces, 71760 sits among the smaller creature sets in the Ninjago range, which keeps the build quick without sacrificing moving parts. The dragon's wings and limbs are articulated, so the finished model can actually be posed rather than staying static on a shelf. That makes the set a good choice for younger fans or as a compact addition alongside larger Ninjago sets. Anyone new to Ninjago gets a manageable introduction to the characters, colour language and the recurring idea of upgraded EVO vehicles and creatures through this one set.
