The minifigures look as outstanding as ever in my opinion, and the Golden Dragon variants of the ninja stand out as particularly cool and unique! That said, I'm a little bummed that the original four ninja get SO many new minifigure designs this wave, yet there's only one for my favorite of the main characters, Nya. :( The set was provided for review by LEGO.

The Completed Model
With the vehicle being tied to Zane, it’s no surprise he’s included in the set. Here he is wearing what’s known as his Golden Robes. This is basically the standard outfit for the ninja in the Crystalized season. The best of the outfit is white, but it features a large amount of gold detailing, including a mainly gold-coloured hood. Zane is joined by Cole in his Golden Dragon form. Apart from the torso, Golden Dragon Cole is mostly constructed of transparent pieces, these go especially well with the print detail on the torso, which also flows on the legs. The dragon-like hood and wings complete the look. The wings are very disappointing on Cole. They aren’t anything like the promotional images and they have very little transparent orange on them. Also, The Ninjargon "R" motif appears extensively across the "good guy" minifigures, vehicles, and accessories, but I'm still not sure what the R is meant to stand for. "Resistance", maybe? It's not exactly intuitive, though perhaps the TV series clarifies things.
From the rear, you get a row of exposed hollow studs that make for a good jet array. The Mixel ball joints that connect this assembly to the main jet don’t look out of place, either. We’ve had a bike, we’ve had a car-type thing so now it’s time to take the sky with a jet. Zane’s Golden Dragon Jet is another of the new sets to be infused with the power of the dragons. It’s also one of the smaller sets in the wave, as well as featuring another of the ninja in a Golden Dragon Suit and the return of a villain from NINJAGO past. So here’s another early look at an upcoming LEGO NINJAGO set and my review of Zane’s Golden Dragon Jet. Three renditions of each ninja are available across the Crystalized subtheme, including their standard, golden and golden dragon variants. Golden Zane is among my favourite examples because the white and pearl gold colour combination looks great, particularly across the torso and legs, alongside light bluish grey accents. i wish the 10 year golden zane came with this mask to fit better the design of the rest. Same for Lloyd's mask and Wu's head (although the pieces needed to "fix" those already existed)"Wedge Sloped 4 x 4 Triple with 3 Ridges on Slope in Pearl Gold (6376233 | 86148) - in 4 other 2022 Ninjago releases As well as being the elemental master of ice, Zane has piloted a few different vehicles including mechs, dragons and tanks. Flying vehicles are a little less common apart from the odd helicopter. So a jet is something a little unique. It’s built-in two sections but not so it can be split apart but to help with the overall shape of the jet. It reminds me a little of the X-Jet used by the X-Men. With the front cab section being connected to the rest of the jet via a couple of ball joints, it slopes at a slight angle. Weapon Sword Crystalized with Hilt and Pin in Transparent Medium Reddish Violet/Trans-Dark Pink (6376231 | 86146) - in 3 other sets, 71769 Cole's Dragon Racer, 71773 Kai's Golden Dragon Raider and 71775 Nya's Samurai X-Mech The pattern on Zane's waist and shoulder armour is effective too, resembling studded leather. Zane's separate shoulder armour and sheath element also complements this minifigure, while his pearl silver head remains unchanged from part appearances. I dislike the angry expression, which seems ill-suited to Zane, but the mechanical detailing is perfect.
