Minifigure Spotlight 23.8- Nya (Ninjago)

 Minifigure Spotlight 23.8- Nya (NRG)  Figure ID#: NJO705  Year(s): 2021  Theme: Ninjago: Seabound  Other: 2021 saw the valiant team of Ninjago Ninjas on a couple adventures, one notably being the “Seabound” theme. In this theme, with throwbacks to the older “Atlantis” LEGO theme and nods to “10000 Leagues Under the Sea”, the Seabound theme saw the Ninjas take to the ocean depths to battle sea monsters, underwater Serpentine, and to try to help Nya stabilize her out-of-control water powers. Over the course of the story, Nya becomes overcome by her powers and is transcended into pure water-based energy. The minifigure featured new prints and translucent elements, and was definitely one of the more interesting character variants to come out of the Seabound theme.

Minifigure Spotlight 23.7- Naare (Star Wars)

 Minifigure Spotlight 23.7- Naare (Star Wars)  Figure ID#: SW0752  Year(s): 2016  Theme: Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures  Other: Made specifically for LEGO’s non-canon Star Wars tale; “The Freemaker Adventures”, Naare is a clever Sith apprentice under the purview of Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine. She goes out of her way to infiltrate young Rowan Freemaker’s life when he accidentally reveals himself to be Force-sensitive and comes in possession of a piece of the immensely powerful Kyber Saber.  She spends the majority of the series trying to sabotage the Freemaker sibling’s attempts to recover the rest of the Saber and their fight against the Empire. She usually wears dark-blue robes and hood, and had black curly hair and white facial markings that turn vibrant red when angered. Her minifigure has a reversible head that represents her mood changes. Although a primary antagonist in the series, Naare only appeared in one set, her “Eclipse Fighter” (Set#75145).
