Description

Built around an element, not just a creature

Rather than a generic dragon shape, the model is designed around Cole's earth element, favouring a heavier, grounded silhouette over sleek or streamlined lines. The body stays solid and sturdy while still including articulated sections for posing and play, which keeps the finished model useful for more than just display. As part of the EVO line, it updates the idea of an earlier elemental dragon build while standing on its own as a distinct model, giving fans of the character a build with a clear identity rather than a repeat of previous sets.

An earthy four-colour palette

Black, reddish brown, orange and pearl gold combine into a warm, grounded colour scheme that matches the earth element clearly. Reddish brown and orange form the base tones, black adds contrast across the frame, and pearl gold appears sparingly as an accent on standout details. That palette sets the model apart from cooler NINJAGO elemental colours such as ice or water, and gives it a distinct look on a shelf next to other elemental dragons. The full parts list on this page breaks down exactly how those four colours spread across the 297 pieces.

109 parts behind the dragon shape

Out of 297 pieces, 109 are unique parts, a solid variety for capturing an organic, dragon-like form rather than a boxy vehicle. Smaller specialised pieces cover scales, claws and joints, while sturdier elements build out the main body. That mix keeps the build engaging through its detail sections rather than repetitive from start to finish. Every part is listed individually on this page, which helps when tracking down a specific shape for a repair or for reuse in other dragon-style builds.

Display piece and play set in one

The two minifigures give the set built-in characters for play scenes centred on Cole and his element, while the poseable dragon works just as well as a shelf display once the story session is over. Anyone already collecting other NINJAGO elemental dragons can line this one up alongside them for a consistent, colour-coded set on display. That dual purpose, alongside sturdy detailing throughout, makes the set a reasonable pick for both younger fans after action play and older collectors after a well-detailed model.
