Trivia

Trivia[]

This set is a re-imagined version of 9448 Samurai Mech from 2012.
- This set is considerably smaller than the original.
- All minifigures in this set are exclusive.
- The Samurai X minifigure here is near identical to her appearance in 71705 Destiny's Bounty; however, the minifigure included here has full body samurai armor and Nya's Phoenix logo on her chest plate instead of the newer "Samurai X" logo.
- Kruncha and Nuckal have updated head molds and new legs.
This is the first Legacy set to feature the Skulkin as the villains. The second is 70670 Monastery of Spinjitzu, the third is 71730 Epic Battle Set - Kai vs. Skulkin and the fourth is 71753 Fire Dragon Attack.
In-universe, the reason this mech is so much smaller than the original is that Nya, in "Samurai X-Treme", says that if she had built the mech in the present day it would have been much smaller and more streamlined.
Nya's Samurai X Mech originally first appeared in "Can of Worms," but this version first appeared in "Samurai X-Treme" from the Tales from the Monastery of Spinjitzu shorts.
In some boxes, Nya has her Season 8 face print instead of the one in 70607.
This is the first regular set of Ninjago: Legacy.
