Four Eyes

Four Eyes is a unique and somewhat menacing minifigure from the Ninjago theme, specifically the Shark Army sub-theme. Collectors are drawn to this figure due to its distinctive octopus head mask, a relatively uncommon element that adds a monstrous flair to any LEGO display. The combination of the scuba gear torso and the bizarre headpiece makes it a standout character, especially for those who enjoy the villainous side of Ninjago.

The figure's appeal is also boosted by its association with Garmadon, a central antagonist in the Ninjago universe. Any minifigure linked to such a prominent character tends to garner more attention from collectors. Mint condition figures are, as always, preferred, but even well-loved copies of Four Eyes can be a valuable addition to a collection, especially if all the parts are present and in good shape.

Four Eyes appeared exclusively in one set, Garmadon's Volcano Lair (70631-1), which was retired. This single set appearance contributes to the figure's relative scarcity. While not the rarest minifigure ever produced, its limited availability makes it more desirable than figures appearing in multiple sets. The set was available globally, so there are no regional variations to consider. Aftermarket availability is moderate, with prices varying depending on condition.

As a minifigure exclusive to a retired set, Four Eyes has some investment potential. The Ninjago theme enjoys a strong and consistent following, which helps maintain demand for its minifigures. While Four Eyes is not a core character like Kai or Lloyd, its unique design and association with Garmadon make it a worthwhile addition to a Ninjago-focused investment portfolio. Current value is still being tracked, but the trend is likely to be upward as the figure becomes harder to find in good condition.
