Beginning with the smallest form, the dragon feels short and stubby, with a head that is not proportionately sized to the rest of its body. Thankfully, this can soon be fixed by progressing to the next stage of its evolution, with a single piece extending the body being enough to make this creature seem suitably sized. Add to that a longer tail and a small pair of wings, and while this dragon might not be flying just yet, it’s a lot more intimidating.

The colors in the dragon are matched by Kai’s outfit, right down to the brown “boots” on both.
I also think the minifigure selection could be improved, especially on the villain side – if you plan on getting the pair of dragons, and more from the wave, the orange Snake Warriors get old after awhile – despite unique printing, they do blend in one another pretty easily. Ultimately, this new wave of Ninjago Core sets are designed primarily for kids, so I was keen to really put these sets to the test, to see how my 5-year old would play with them. Think Ninjago Legacy, but for younger builders, and introduces some really interesting building concepts that are suitable for those new to LEGO, and want to develop their building skills and capabilities. But all is not sunshine and roses. The Companion section of the set also comes with a Snake-themed bad guy: Cobra Mechanic. CM has a remote control that uses the 1×2 printed tile to pilot a tile-shooting drone. The use of minifigure frying pans for thrusters is pretty funny to me, as I’m more than willing to imagine this is actually a new tech start-up that delivers freshly-cooked omelets right to your door. Snake-egg omelets, naturally.

In January 2022, LEGO introduced a new Ninjago subtheme, loosely dubbed Ninjago Core, which is a kid-focused theme that reimagines “core” Ninjago mainstays like Dragons, Spinners, Mechs.

New for January 2020, this is an update on the LEGO® NINJAGO® dragon toy from season 1 of the TV series. The ninja dragon measures over 2” (6cm) high, 2” (6cm) long and9” (23cm) wide – the perfect size to play with anywhere. The “Flight Ready” mode is the next step towards a battle-ready dragon. This step consumes bag three and adds in a torso-extender, a bit of tail, and two dual-molded wings in red and transparent orange. Kai also gets an upgrade with the addition of a bit of shoulder armor and a color-coded red sword.

Kai's Spinjitzu Ninja Training · 70689 Lloyd's Spinjitzu Ninja Training · 70690 Jay's Spinjitzu Ninja Training The ball-jointed limbs and tail, combined with the posable jaw, do give you a lot of options for charismatic stances, at least. I have to note, though, that the bar on the long ankle joint on the front legs feels ripe for a sports-related sprain or break. LEGO® 4+ buildable toys introduce younger children to a wide universe of their movie favorites, TV characters, and everyday heroes, helping them to understand the purpose of building steps and boosting their confidence. While this is not going to be the most visible area of the animal, it’s a bit disappointing considering how every other part improves with each step of the model, although it’s likely to be less of an issue for its target audience.
Apart from the pearl-gold armour, you get these new wings, which have these trans-yellow fused bits to opaque red – they also connect to one another via pins, and you can also alter the orientation of the wings if you’d like. Up next is 71762 Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO, a redder, larger, Kai-er version of Jay’s Thunder Dragon. It’s a little larger (but not by much), and also slightly pricier.

The other 4+ set to come out in this wave is the 71703 Storm Fighter Battle.That said, Kai is a pretty popular character, and his Fire Dragon EVO has a more “traditional” dragon colour scheme, and the larger wingspan also gives it a more impressive look, however, I think it’s slightly overpriced compared to the Thunder Dragon. I like Jay’s Ninjago Core outfit design, which looks like it was inspired by a yukata, and also the new light yellow, and blue colour combination which matches the dragon.
