22. Jay - £14 / $18
There have been dozens of Jay minifigures released over the years but this ‘Sons of Garmadon’ version can be distinguished by the exclusive torso and leg printing. This exact blue head wrap piece has been used on a few less valuable Jay minifigures.

Release Year: 2018
Set: Killow vs. Samura X

20. Lloyd (Spinjitzu) - £15 / $20
There are lots of Lloyd minifigures so how do you tell this more valuable minifig apart from the rest? The torso and leg designs help to narrow it down but this is the only version with the gold ‘L’ on the green head wrap.
Minifig No: NJO544
Release Year: 2019
Sets: Lloyd’s Titan Mech

19. White Pythor Chumsworth - £15 / $20

Set: Ninja DB X
Image by Bricklink user Mirko8710
18. General Pythor - £16 / $21
Exclusive to the 2022 Nya’s Samurai X MECH set, this is the first LEGO iteration of General Pythor. Can be confused with Pythor Chumsworth minifigures (also valuable) but this one can be differentiated by the tail printing.

Release Year: 2022
Set: Nya’s Samurai X MECH
Image by Bricklink user Mirko8710
17. Lord Garmadon (Resurrected) - £16 / $21
It’s always odd when a valuable minifigure isn’t a set-exclusive but this iteration of Lord Garmadon was actually released in 2 sets in 2018. Don’t confuse this version with 2 less valuable versions released around the same time. This one can be differentiated by the purple detailing on the torso.
Minifig No: NJO382

Sets: Oni Titan + Temple of Resurrection

16. Wu Sensei - £16 / $21

11. Pythor Chumsworth - £23 / $30
Another white Pythor minifigure, this was exclusive to the 2016 Samurai X Cave Chaos set. Whilst it resembles the earlier 2015 White Pythor, you can tell this one apart by the plain white tunic printing.
