“You get a new headpiece and a spare katana, but I really prefer the katanas to be either grey or black. I am not fond of gold colors for such weapons. The robe or tunic is also generic and somehow or anot, it keep reminds me of the Star Wars Episode VI, Luke Skywalker... More torso.”

“This LEGO Minifigures Series 1 Ninja figure takes the design of the ninja figure of the late 1990s Ninja castle line and updates it with enhanced deco, retaining everything that made the original great like the clip for the sword. Oh, and the sword, that was a nice... More introduction too.”

About Minifigure Series Series 1

Minifigures Series 1 was LEGO's first release of it's collectable minifigures which nnow numbers in the dozens. The collection, like most in the theme, contains sixteen exclusive minifigures, many of which were based on concepts never seen before their release. Each minifigure was sold individually in foil polybags and came with a selection of accessories, a display stand, and a paper checklist. The opaque foil packaging was intended to make the minifigure a mystery, however, it was quickly noticed that the barcodes on the back could identify the contents.

Series 1 was introduced in 2010 and currently consists of 19 sets. As of today, Series 1 Sealed Box is the most valuable Series 1 set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $1,276.
Summary
Minifigure Series Series 1 Ninja set 8683 was released on May 10, 2010, retailing for $2, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $15, used ones can be found for $8.

Stealthy. Sneaky. A cunning master of martial arts. None of these things describes the Ninja, although he sure wishes they did. He tries his best to dramatically blend into the shadows or hide in plain sight like all the other ninjas can, but no matter what he does, he always seems to mess things up. The truth is that he’s just plain clumsy, and no matter how gracefully he may start a back-flip, creep along the rafters or launch himself into an epic sword battle, he always manages to trip over his own feet, fall off the ceiling, or bonk himself on the head with his ancient and mystical blade. Also, he’s afraid of the dark.

No one is quite sure how the Ninja ever managed to graduate from ninja school. But no matter how bad he may be at his chosen profession, he always keeps trying and never gives up, convinced after each blunder that the next time, he will prove himself a true ninja warrior for the ages.
