Doubloon

Doubloon is a unique minifigure from the LEGO Ninjago theme, specifically the Skybound subtheme. Collectors are drawn to this figure due to its distinctive pirate ninja appearance, featuring a blend of traditional ninja attire with pirate-themed elements like the bucket 'hat' and mismatched legs. The torso print, with the ninja skull and crossed swords, adds to the figure's appeal.

The combination of the Ninjago theme's popularity and the distinctive design of Doubloon makes it a desirable addition to any Ninjago minifigure collection. The figure's relative scarcity, appearing in only one set, further enhances its collectibility. Keeping the minifigure in excellent condition, with all accessories, is crucial for maintaining its value.

Doubloon appears exclusively in The Green NRG Dragon (70593-1) set, which was released in 2016 and has since been retired. This single set appearance contributes to the minifigure's relative rarity. While not a limited edition or promotional item, its availability was confined to the production run of a single set, making it less common than minifigures appearing in multiple sets. Aftermarket availability is moderate, with prices varying based on condition and completeness.

As a character unique to a single, now-retired set, Doubloon holds reasonable investment potential, particularly for collectors focused on completing their Ninjago minifigure collection. While not among the most valuable Ninjago figures, its unique design and limited availability contribute to its desirability. Value trends indicate a steady increase in price as the set becomes harder to find in new or complete condition. Comparable minifigures with similar rarity profiles within the Ninjago theme have seen consistent appreciation over time. Investors should consider purchasing complete minifigures in excellent condition to maximize potential returns.
