The LEGO NINJAGO Movie books revealed
Posted by CapnRex101,
Amazon has revealed three books relating to The LEGO NINJAGO Movie. These provide highly detailed images of some of the major characters and vehicles which will be appearing in the film, perhaps also revealing a few of the upcoming sets.
I remain sceptical with regard to the plot of the film but the vehicles and minifigure designs look fantastic. These shots only increase my excitement!
You will find the rest of the images and some analysis after the break...
The Ultimate Sticker collection shows the six ninja wearing their zukin and wielding a selection of weapons. It is interesting to see that this incarnation of Zane is using a bow, contrary to the shuriken which are his primary weapon in the animated series. Sensei Wu and Kai's Mech, revealed earlier this week, also make an appearance.
The back cover shows a few of the nautical villains, some of whom are armed with blue fish or starfish! Their vehicles are also styled to resemble sea creatures and the sand blue vehicle seems particularly likely to become a set based on its size. The shark mech on the right of the image below is even more impressive but seems too large for a retail set so will probably be scaled down.
Two books for younger readers have also been announced. Shark Attack features the new Lord Garmadon minifigure as well as a shark warrior and a delightfully wacky squid soldier! I love the contrast between his serious expression and the bizarre helmet.
Secret Ninja Force shows the ninja with their heads and hair exposed. Each one includes a new hair piece and some are quite similar to that from the animation while others depart quite significantly from the original design. Cole's traditional chonmage will take some getting used to!

I hope the giant black mech on the back of the sticker book comes out in Lego!
That shark Mech is cool, Loyd sword is awesome as well as the female Garmadon officer with her torso print (an ice under the sea spin here shame no skeletons or snakes yet). That green dragon Mech looks amaizing. I know I won't be buying these sets but wow the picture qualities plus the ones that were revealed are astonishing.
Shark and dragon mechs are fantastic. I hope at least one of them will make it to the set without being scaled down.
I like the octopus guy's Kermit eyes.
More than 1000 stickers - what a nightmare! ;-)
I feel like all the models featured in the film will be heavily scaled down to become real sets. It's a shame because the movie versions are fantastic.
Hyped to see what the guy holding the fish will be like in the movie. Let's hope they do not LEGO Batman Movie us and make the sets totally unrelated to the movie.
There is a $300 set coming out; it could be the shark mech. I will be getting the sand green dragon, it is fantastic with the gold trim. I love the new hair pieces on the one cover.
As a fan of anything underwater, I am hoping they do a bunch of underwater sets!
I'm most intrigued as to whether that quad-tracked vehicle on the front of the sticker book will be a set. It would be a pretty large set, but viable, and I love the sharp angles on it.
So pumped for everything involving this movie!
I hope they bring zane's car into a Lego set it looks great.
Sharktopus!
Love the pufferfish hat!
