Clay Moorington / Stone Clay

The Stone Clay minifigure is highly desirable for LEGO Nexo Knights collectors, particularly those focused on completing the core team of knights. This variant represents Clay Moorington after he becomes partially petrified, offering a unique and visually striking appearance compared to his standard form. The detailed torso and leg printing, along with the trans-light blue accents, make this minifigure stand out.

The Stone Clay variant is exclusive to a single, now-retired set, which further enhances its collectibility. The unique head mold and armor piece add to its appeal. Condition is a key consideration for collectors, as the printed elements are prone to wear and scratches, affecting the minifigure's overall value.

This minifigure is considered relatively rare due to its exclusive appearance in only one set, The Stone Colossus of Ultimate Destruction (70356-1), which was released in 2017 and has since been retired. Its limited production run and the set's size contribute to its scarcity on the aftermarket. While not a regional exclusive, its availability is constrained by the set's retirement, making it harder to find than minifigures from sets that are still in production.

The investment potential for Stone Clay is promising, given its rarity, unique design, and the Nexo Knights theme's dedicated fan base. As the set it originated from is retired, the minifigure's value is likely to appreciate over time, especially for versions in excellent condition. The character's importance within the Nexo Knights storyline also fuels demand. Comparable minifigures with limited availability from retired themes have shown significant value increases, suggesting a similar trajectory for Stone Clay.
