Look at all dem spoopy ghosts!
Double Ninjago
And even double Zane
Double Ninjago! Also, there's just something funny about a ghost holding an ice cream cone and a wrench.
I did not realise this set existed.

Just what I was going to say.
I have a hard time not seeing that weapon as belonging to Jay.
It’s a good day to be Zane it seems. He is arguably the most seasonal of the ninjas, seems appropriate for the start of December
This ia fantastic sets with nice shapes, gorgeous colors, creativity, and thematic coherence. One day...
Ninjago came after my time, but I gotta appreciate the trans neon green, especially the chain. I don't think I've seen a transparent chain before.
Ninjago goes Mad Max.
Like I said with Jay Walker One, Possession was ahead of its time to mostly have medium and big sets and no tiny sets. This is the second biggest of the wave and it was 30 euro already! But it is big and oh so detailed, not to mention all the side stuff. It feels like there was more budget than really needed. Which makes for a cool model at least. Despite just being a motorcycle.
Of note is hat this includes Airjitsu Zane, which is the only one of the airjitsu ninja from Possession to make it into a regular set.
Fun fact: in the show this guy and his cycle were defeated in seconds and he only came back for the finale. The cycle was a regular bike transformed through possession. The same happened to the 9448 Samurai Mech to turn it into Mechenstein from 70737. Apparently possession mutates stuff a lot!

In order of appearance, trans-orange (2014), trans-neon-green/trans-neon-orange/trans-purple (2015), trans-bright-green (2016), and trans-light-blue (2021) have all appeared for the long chain, while the short chain has only appeared in trans-neon-green (2016).
