Wyplash - No Shoulder Guards (Legacy)

The Wyplash Legacy minifigure is a must-have for Ninjago collectors, particularly those focused on the Skulkin villains. This version stands out due to its updated design and connection to the Legacy subtheme, which revisits classic Ninjago storylines. The skeletal design and unique head mold make it instantly recognizable.

Collectors appreciate this minifigure for its detailed printing on the torso and head, which accurately represents the Skulkin aesthetic. The absence of shoulder guards distinguishes it from other Wyplash minifigures, adding to its uniqueness. As a character from the early days of Ninjago, Wyplash holds a nostalgic appeal for many fans who grew up with the theme.

This Wyplash minifigure appeared in only one set, the 'Zane vs. Wyplash' battle set, increasing its relative rarity compared to minifigures appearing in multiple sets. Although the set was widely available, the single appearance of this variant makes it a sought-after piece for collectors completing their Skulkin ranks. As the set has been retired, the availability of this minifigure is now limited to the secondary market.

While not the rarest Ninjago minifigure, the Wyplash Legacy version has good investment potential due to its limited availability and the enduring popularity of the Ninjago theme. The character's significance in the early Ninjago storyline contributes to its value. As the number of sealed sets diminishes, the price of this minifigure is likely to gradually increase. Comparable Ninjago villains from the early waves have shown steady appreciation over time.
