Lloyd Garmadon

As the leader of the Secret Ninja Force, Lloyd has a lot of pressure on his shoulders. Still, he shrugs it off with aplomb, leading his team with compassion. He has lots of different outfits to choose from. You can get him masked or unmasked, in his high school outfit, in his classic get-up, with a hoodie, or even in his Kendo look. The final character unlock is Lloyd in the Gold Ninja skin.

Kai

Kai is a fire ninja, trained by Master Wu, and is also Nya’s brother. Just like all the others, you can get Kai unmasked or masked, put him in his high school outfit, or just keep it classic. However, he also has a training outfit to stand out from the crowd.

Kai is a leader of Ninjago’s fighter team and is an expert when it comes to what he does. He has a strong sense of justice and is very brave.
