Cyrus Borg · Dareth · Falcon · Lord Garmadon · MiniPix Seven · Misako · P.I.X.A.L. · Ronin · Skylor These EVO mods are communicated throughout the instruction manual – as you build the base dragon or vehicle, and add on upgrades such as wings, armour plating, and even extend the size of the dragons through extra modules.
We’ll highlight interesting parts and colors as we go along, but to whet your appetite, here’s a close-up of the unique 2×3 banner tile for this set. I really like this design, even if the head shape doesn’t actually look like the Fire Dragon in this set. But as a general-use bit of printed art, it’s pretty swanky. It’s worth remembering that the price-to-piece ratio is not always an accurate reflection of value, however, with two exclusive dragon head pieces and the four new, rare wing elements helping to increase the value of 71762 Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO. — Pictures — Jay’s Thunder Dragon EVO and 71762 Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO are now available from LEGO.com, or most toy stores. Think Ninjago Legacy, but for younger builders, and introduces some really interesting building concepts that are suitable for those new to LEGO, and want to develop their building skills and capabilities. Our review set contained two of the chain elements, which was a nice bit of “overfill” as it let us double the useful length. That was necessary to recreate the battle scene from the instructions: One chain wasn’t quite long enough to reach around the dragon’s jaw without putting the Boa Destructor right next to it.

I really love how cool the illustrations are here – plenty of comicbook/manga-inspired graphics, that really bring the build to life – huge props to the graphic designers who were responsible for this. 71760 Jay’s Thunder Dragon EVO Set Details Flame and Burnt Fish are the only two creatures to be able to survive inside the Fire Temple's magma pools.

Assembled, the Companion form fits the bill as a not-ready-for-battle critter. The tail is too stubby, and the head is almost comically oversized for the body. But it’s sort of chibi and “cute” is a plus when it comes to companions.Here’s a look at Kai’s Ninjago Core outfit, which also has the same Yukata-inspired design. You also get Kai’s hairpiece, and a sweet red Katana. The ball-jointed limbs and tail, combined with the posable jaw, do give you a lot of options for charismatic stances, at least. I have to note, though, that the bar on the long ankle joint on the front legs feels ripe for a sports-related sprain or break. While this is not going to be the most visible area of the animal, it’s a bit disappointing considering how every other part improves with each step of the model, although it’s likely to be less of an issue for its target audience. Like the Thunder Dragon, Kai’s Fire Dragon is also really posable and playable. Thanks to the wider wingspan, you can strike all sorts of fun poses with it.
The “Flight Ready” mode is the next step towards a battle-ready dragon. This step consumes bag three and adds in a torso-extender, a bit of tail, and two dual-molded wings in red and transparent orange. Kai also gets an upgrade with the addition of a bit of shoulder armor and a color-coded red sword.Flame, along with the other dragons, perform something similar to Spinjitzu when they travel between realms. This version of Garmadon is, technically, exclusive to this set. This is the first set not from 2011 to feature a two-armed Lord Garmadon, though he could be created by removing the second set of arms from the version in 70664 Spinjitzu Lloyd vs Garmadon or 70679 The Ultra Dragon. I like Jay’s Ninjago Core outfit design, which looks like it was inspired by a yukata, and also the new light yellow, and blue colour combination which matches the dragon. The set also comes with an additional minifigure – you get 3 in the set, Kai in his Ninjago Core outfit, Cobra Mechanic and Boa Destructo, which I guess justifies the slight price bump, along with an extra 60-odd pieces.

Surely LEGO could have done a little more here to smooth things out, particularly for a dragon likely to be seen from this angle. I guess being very flat makes it feel streamlined?

Most of the pieces in 71762 Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO go towards the creature itself, with three variations to build one by one in the instructions, showcasing the EVO part of the set name as the creature morphs and changes to better suit the battle ahead.
