Lloyd with Hair (Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu)

This version of Lloyd, with his hair piece, is desirable for Ninjago collectors because it represents a specific era in the series, the Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu. The hairpiece is a departure from his usual spiky ninja hood, offering a unique display option. The detailed printing on the torso, including the robe and shoulder armor, adds to the figure's appeal.

The Pearl Titanium shoulder guard is another attractive element for collectors, as it's not overly common. Completing a collection of all Lloyd minifigures requires obtaining this particular variant, making it a necessary addition for dedicated fans.

This minifigure appears in only one set, 70671-1 Lloyd's Journey, which was retired. While not a limited edition or promotional item, its single set appearance contributes to its relative scarcity on the aftermarket compared to versions of Lloyd appearing in multiple sets. The set was available globally, meaning it isn't a regional exclusive, but the finite number of sets produced impacts availability.

As a character from a popular LEGO theme, this Lloyd minifigure has some investment potential. The fact that it only appears in one retired set is a positive factor. While it's not currently tracked for specific value, similar Ninjago minifigures from retired sets have shown moderate appreciation. The long-term success of the Ninjago theme will continue to drive demand for key characters like Lloyd.
