Dareth

Dareth, also known as the Brown Ninja, is a beloved character from the Ninjago theme, known for his comic relief and underdog status. While not a central character, his unique design and memorable personality make him a desirable addition to any Ninjago minifigure collection. Collectors appreciate his distinctive dark brown hairpiece and the printed robe torso, which is unique to this minifigure.

The Dareth minifigure is particularly sought after because it only appears in one set, the retired Temple of Airjitzu. This limited availability contributes to its collectibility. Mint condition figures with all accessories are particularly prized by serious collectors.

The Dareth minifigure's rarity stems from its exclusive appearance in the Temple of Airjitzu (70751-1), a now-retired set. Produced in 2015, the set was available globally but has since become harder to find in complete condition. Dareth himself is not a regional exclusive, but his presence only in this single, large set contributes to his relative scarcity on the aftermarket. While not the rarest Ninjago figure, he is certainly less common than the main ninja characters.

The Dareth minifigure presents a moderate investment opportunity. As a character from the popular Ninjago theme, he benefits from the continued interest in the franchise. The retirement of the Temple of Airjitzu set has already led to some appreciation in value, and this trend is likely to continue, especially for figures in excellent condition. Compared to the core ninja characters, Dareth may not reach the same heights, but his limited availability makes him a worthwhile consideration for Ninjago investors.
