Did you love LEGO The Ninjago Movie? I know we did! Well get pumped, because now you can bring home and build your own smaller scale replica of the Green Ninja Mech Dragon!
The 544-piece model, almost 2 feet long when assembled, allows kids to recreate and role play scenes from the movie. Fortunately, LEGO rendered the detail on this model exquisitely—even down to the Green Ninja Mech’s buildable golden whiskers—to give kids a play experience straight from the world of Ninjago. This dragon also is equipped with a minifigure cockpit, articulated snapping jaws, a completely posable body, a wheel-activated swooshing tail with spikes, two leg-mounted stud shooters, and two pop-out thrusters in front legs.
Besides the actual Green Ninja Mech Dragon, the set also includes four minifigures: The Green Ninja, Wu, Garmadon, and Charlie. Weapons are also included: The Green Ninja’s tasseled sword, Wu’s staff, Garmadon’s laser-style pointer and two katanas, and Charlie’s fish spear.
Do beware, however. When assembled this is a fragile model that can break apart easily. Green Ninja Mech isn’t really meant for flying like his big screen counterpart. But he can still actively be played with!
On his tail, the wheel-activated gear enables Green Ninja Mech to whip his rapidly both left or right—POW POW. There’s a lot of power in his tail whip. His feet and legs can also move, and his neck can bob up and down. This ain’t no stiff dragon, folks.
But what’s really cool is that there are a lot of built-in features to Green Ninja Mech! Not visible at first glance, there are two hidden thrusters in his front legs, as well as two leg-mounted stud shooters. All in all, it’s a pretty intense build that only seasoned LEGO builders should embark on. This build is so intense that two instruction manuals are required.
