Dareth, White Shirt

The Dareth, White Shirt minifigure is desirable for collectors, especially Ninjago completionists, due to its unique torso print and representation of a recurring, beloved character. Dareth, known as the 'Brown Ninja,' provides comic relief and adds a layer of everyday relatability to the Ninjago world, making this minifigure more than just another ninja.

This particular version of Dareth, with his casual white shirt and large star pendant, is exclusive to the NINJAGO City Markets set, further increasing its collectibility. The detailed printing on the torso, depicting braces and a necklace, adds to the figure's appeal. Collectors will want to ensure the torso print is in excellent condition, as wear can significantly impact value.

This version of Dareth is relatively rare due to its exclusive appearance in the NINJAGO City Markets (71799-1) set. While the set itself was widely available, the fact that this specific Dareth minifigure is only found in one retired set increases its rarity compared to minifigures appearing in multiple sets. As the set is now retired, aftermarket prices for the minifigure are expected to gradually increase, especially for figures in pristine condition.

The Dareth, White Shirt minifigure presents a moderate investment potential. As a character with a dedicated following within the Ninjago theme, demand for this minifigure is likely to remain steady. The retirement of the NINJAGO City Markets set should drive up the price of the minifigure on the secondary market, particularly for those in excellent condition with all accessories. Compared to other exclusive Ninjago minifigures, Dareth may not reach the highest price points, but it offers a solid, reliable investment for Ninjago collectors.
