Description

A posable dragon build

The centrepiece of the set is Egalt itself, a dragon with a moving head, jaw, wings and tail that can be posed for dynamic attack or flying scenes. Built from 187 unique parts, the model packs in plenty of detail despite its size, from individual scale-like elements to the joints that give it its range of motion. For anyone collecting Ninjago dragons, this is a build that stands well alongside other dragons from the theme. That range of motion also means the finished model can be angled for photos in several different stances rather than one fixed display pose.

Black, white and pearl gold

The parts list on this page shows the complete colour range, but black, white, pearl gold and dark tan stand out the most. The contrast between dark and light sections gives the dragon an imposing presence, while pearl gold accents on the head, wings or armour pieces add highlights. Dark tan rounds out the palette and appears mainly across textured surfaces. That palette also reads as noticeably darker and more armoured than the brighter, more colourful ninja vehicles found elsewhere in the range.

Five minifigures for team play

With 5 minifigures included, the set has enough characters for small team scenes around the dragon, such as a battle or a shared dragon ride for several ninja. The included weapons and accessories can be mixed and matched, making it possible to recreate a range of play situations without needing extra sets. It also means the dragon can headline a scene on its own, giving all five ninja something to do around a single centrepiece.

Size and display

At 533 pieces, Egalt sits in the mid-to-large range for Ninjago sets and makes an impressive display piece once built, as well as a solid play set beforehand. The parts list on this page is useful for tracking down specific colours or shapes, handy if you are after matching pieces for your own fantasy or dragon builds in other colours. The scale also makes Egalt one of the more eye-catching pieces to add if you're building up a themed dragon or creature shelf.
