EXHIBIT 16 · FIFTEEN YEARS OF SPINJITZU · STORY · LEGACY
NINJAGO Across Generations
NINJAGO began in 2011 with four ninja, a patient teacher, elemental weapons, and a new form of spinning play. It could have remained one adventure. Instead, serialized storytelling allowed its characters to grow while dragons, mechs, temples, cities, villains, and entire realms continually rebuilt the world around them. By its fifteenth anniversary, NINJAGO had become LEGO’s longest-running homegrown entertainment world—a theme old enough for one generation to introduce it to the next. This collection tells that story through the complete group of seven golden minifigures made for the tenth anniversary, the character and legacy figures created for the fifteenth, and two displays that turn those milestones into one family portrait.
This custom 3D-printed tier brings the tenth- and fifteenth-anniversary groups into one family display. Most of the household’s NINJAGO sets belong to the curator’s sons; these figures remain in his collection as a record of the world they love.
Kai carries the visual language of fire into the unified gold anniversary palette. Red accents preserve the identity of NINJAGO’s impulsive first hero even when the team is presented as one commemorative group.
Jay’s blue and lightning details remain legible beneath the gold treatment. The figure celebrates the humor and nervous energy that have kept the team human through increasingly large adventures.
Cole’s earth colors and heavier graphic forms anchor the golden group. His figure preserves the physical steadiness of the team’s original earth ninja within a deliberately ceremonial design.
Zane’s icy blue details distinguish a character whose identity has always tested the boundary between person and machine. Gold turns that long-running reinvention into an anniversary emblem.
Lloyd’s green details identify the child who grew into the Green Ninja and, eventually, the team’s leader. His golden figure compresses one of NINJAGO’s longest character arcs into a single collectible.
Nya’s anniversary figure recognizes how far the character moved beyond the role first assigned to her—from inventor and Samurai X to the elemental master of water and a central member of the team.
Master Wu completes the seven-figure anniversary group as teacher, storyteller, and link to the history before the ninja. His gold robes make mentorship—not only combat—part of what the first decade celebrates.
The fifteenth-anniversary character display turns a compact monastery into a stage for the cast. Steps, gates, blossoms, and the tearoom frame eight figures as a shared history rather than an ordinary battle scene.
The First Spinjitzu Master turns NINJAGO’s founding legend into a collectible figure. Presented centrally on a dedicated stand, the creator of the realm makes fifteen years of accumulated mythology physically visible.
Young Wu shows the future teacher before age and authority defined his silhouette. Dark-tan robes and his pairing with Garmadon return NINJAGO’s conflict between creation and destruction to its family beginning.
Young Garmadon presents the future villain before corruption made him monstrous. Purple detailing and red eyes foreshadow what follows while preserving the brother who once trained beside Wu.
Benton, Cole’s grandfather and an earlier Elemental Master of Earth, gives family form to the power Cole inherited. A distinctive silver torso-and-leg design separates this ancestor from an anniversary remake.
Libber, Jay’s biological mother and the previous Elemental Master of Lightning, appeared here as a minifigure for the first time. Her dark-blue-and-black design connects Jay’s power to a history that began before his generation.
Hibernus extends the elemental history behind Zane through the previous Master of Ice. Cool-toned robes and crystalline details distinguish a predecessor rather than another costume for the familiar ninja.
Dusk, the previous Master of Shadow, completes the seven special fifteenth-anniversary figures. The character demonstrates how an anniversary can add to a world’s history instead of only repeating it.
Kai’s fifteenth-anniversary design returns to the wrapped, armored language of NINJAGO’s early years. It reads as a memory of the fire ninja’s beginnings rather than a snapshot of his newest costume.
Jay’s anniversary figure revisits the blue ZX-era silhouette, carrying the lightning ninja’s early visual identity into a collection made for viewers who grew up alongside him.
Cole’s anniversary treatment returns the earth ninja to an early armored form. The design makes the passage of time visible by placing a remembered costume in a newly produced figure.
Zane’s pale ZX-era wraps recall the original team while his later story as the Titanium Ninja remains just beyond the figure. One costume becomes a marker for everything the character has survived since.
Lloyd’s anniversary figure looks back to the Green Ninja’s early rise from troublesome child to chosen hero. The familiar green makes a long character history readable at a glance.
Samurai X preserves Nya’s original independent identity within the fifteenth-anniversary cast. The armor recalls the moment she built her own route into the action rather than waiting to be assigned one.
Wu appears in the robes and conical hat that made him the calm center of NINJAGO from the beginning. Fifteen years later, the teacher remains the visual bridge between the team and its past.
