LEGO NINJAGO Legacy Overlord Dragon 71742 Ninja Playset Building Kit Featuring Posable Dragon Toy, New 2021 (372 Pieces)

Product Information

The Crystal King is the third title that the Overlord famously goes by to be revealed, preceded by the Dark Lord (from the Green Ninja prophecy), and the Golden Master (from the Curse of the Golden Master).

As construction of the ultimate weapon continued, the Overlord warned Lord Garmadon that he sensed the presence of the ninja on the Island of Darkness. Garmadon responded by sending Stone Warriors across the island to hunt the ninja down, only to find them narrowly escaping capture in his own base camp. The Overlord realized that the ninja were looking for the Temple of Light, and told Garmadon about the location's significance.

Thousands of years later, a corrupted Garmadon was confronted by the Overlord's spirit, who influenced him to join forces. Garmadon assumed command of the indestructible Stone Army, which constructed an ultimate weapon. Eventually, the Overlord revealed he was using Garmadon and possessed his body - commencing a metamorphosis that turned him into his monstrous original form. The ninja and Lloyd returned to Ninjago, where Lloyd fought and defeated the Overlord in the final battle.

While this minifigure is certainly impressive, I am surprised that any changes were considered necessary. This depiction of the Overlord originates from the season after his dragon form and including them both together seems accordingly odd. Nevertheless, the character looks superb, wielding a trans-pink lightning bolt while Lloyd carries a golden katana. Although Fungus' clothing had no moss after the last episode of Master of the Mountain and in Seabound, his clothing is now seen with moss on them once again. This vehicle was built for Garmadon and the Overlord to launch Dark Matter into Ninjago. However, after betraying Garmadon, the Overlord took possession of the Garmatron.This is the ninth and final Crystalized episode to feature Vangelis. Coincidentally, Vangelis also appeared in nine episodes of Master of the Mountain, of which he was the main antagonist. His minifigure form of his "Golden Master" appearance has sloped legs, instead of a cape as shown in the television series.
