About this deal

He is also the only villain from the WILFilm ApS seasons to return as the main antagonist of a WildBrain season. The Overlord was the arch-enemy of the First Spinjitzu Master and the source of all evil in the world. Also known as the Dark Lord, the Overlord was consigned to Dark Island after the First Spinjitzu Master split the land in half. Existing as a spirit, the incredibly powerful Overlord plotted to return to the human plane of existence, using Garmadon and the Stone Army as his pawns. He is a skilled manipulator who has directed events from behind the scenes for centuries. His original form was a dragon. Although the Overlord was defeated by Lloyd in the final battle, he was not destroyed. He survived as a computer virus in Cyrus Borg’s Digiverse and was able to take over the whole city, thanks to Borg’s technology being everywhere. But the now Digital Overlord was not satisfied. He was trapped. To escape the Digiverse he needed Lloyd’s Golden Power. The Ninja were able to reboot the Digiverse, but it was too late: the Overlord had already taken physical form. He sent his Nindroids on a space mission to retrieve the Mega Weapon, the remainder of the four Golden Weapons, to become the prophesized Golden Master. He was finally destroyed by Zane.

Given that neither the original Golden Dragon set nor the Legacy Golden Dragon set had especially solid-looking wings, the only way to really retain that sense of contrast was to make the Overlord Dragon's wings even bonier. So ultimately, my biggest disappointment with this set's wings is that they don't have anywhere near as many dactyls as the on-screen portrayal, and aren't able to fold open and closed like the wings of old-school Ninjago dragons (a feature which I felt helped compensate for the gaps in their structure). The Overlord's possession of Garmadon is similar to Zuul and Vinz Clortho's possession of Dana and Louis in the first Ghostbusters movie. During the prophecy of the Golden Master, the symbol of the Overlord can be seen on the Golden Master's chest. This foreshadows the Overlord becoming the Golden Master. The wings are where things really fall apart for this set, though. The three propeller blades look kind of cool out of context, but to me they don’t look very much like dragon wings. Looking at the stills of how the Overlord Dragon appeared in the TV show, I don’t understand why LEGO didn’t go with a recolor of an existing dragon wing or opt for a cloth or plastic membrane to fill in the gaps like they’ve done on other Ninjago dragons.

Golden versions of Lloyd Garmadon have already appeared twice during recent years and this minifigure shares components with its predecessors, although this exact design is unique as the pearl gold head has been replaced with a standard yellow element. Nevertheless, the legendary Golden Ninja looks suitably impressive, featuring metallic gold dragon designs on the torso. In " Codename: Arcturus," the Overlord had become a pulsing amorphous, pink, white, and red blob with glowing red eyes due to his interrupted transformation into the Golden Master.

A rarity within the NINJAGO Legacy line for being completely original, 71742 Overlord Dragon is ultimately going to end up a must-have for collectors, and for good reason. This is the seventh and final episode of the original series to include the word "Dragon." Other episodes include " Flight of the Dragon Ninja," " The Day of the Dragon," " Beasts and Dragons," " The Oni and the Dragon," " How to Build a Dragon," and " The Maze of the Red Dragon."Despite the Final Battle happened before the Nindroid crisis, the Overlord wears the Golden Armor in this set. The Overlord also claims Garmadon's power was a 'gift' from him, although Garmadon's elemental essence of Destruction stems from his Oni heritage, it's possible the Overlord meant that the Devourer boosted Garmadon's destructive powers to a level that he would not have reached had he not been corrupted.
