Missing Ninja 1998 Minifigure pieces - Zack Uhlenhuth - 2026-07-20

Hello all!,

I was wondering if anyone could help me with getting pieces scanned in for some missing Ninja 1998 characters!

Specifically, LDraw is missing these:
Bandit Chief Kendo (https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-006598/robber-printed-brown-armor/#parts), both head and torso.
Blue Samurai 1 and 2 https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-006596/samurai-blue/#parts, https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-006597/samurai-blue-with-green-headband/#parts, both head and torso
Black Ninja Bonsai (https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-000292/ninja-black/#parts), head
Red Ninja Master (https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-000474/ninja-master/#parts), head and torso (although torso should be same as Grey Ninja but red, which is on LDraw)
White Ninja (https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-000069/ninja-white/#parts), head and torso (torso should be same as Grey Ninja but white)

I had started completing the Ninja parts earlier this year, but got a bit distracted  Confused

I'll look through what's already there and maybe upload some later this week.

Dude, this is awesome! Now I just need the rest haha, but he is a pretty key one. Kendo and Ninja Master would be awesome.

And do you happen to have any Stingrays or Hyronauts to scan in?? I could open a new thread for that Tongue

Ninja Princess Head:

Torso print is exactly the same as for the grey and red ones, so will not get a separate entry:
https://library.ldraw.org/parts/14644

For the green version, torso already exists too:
https://library.ldraw.org/parts/14645

Yes, I'll look into the Aquazone stuff too.

Those are perfect, only a few left before full coverage of the ninja 1998 minifigs I think!

Thank you! One nit is the torso print seems too dark brown? Other than that this is perfect!

Now just the samurai heads/torsos and the ninja master's head, and I believe that completes Ninja 1998 minifigs

I'll admit it looks a bit off, but Lego's ink color matching for (old) Brown (25 Earth Orange) was rather poor (mostly a bit lighter) in the 1990s. Combine that with Lego's problems with printing on darker plastics, it get's messy. I'll blame it on that (real ones are erroneous  Tongue ). Keep in mind that LDraw approximates idealised versions of Lego parts, so printing errors will be ignored.

When available for 90s prints, I usually refer to the vector-based instruction PDFs from Lego's customer service for colour matching, if the colours are somewhat unclear. In this case the instructions also confirm Old Brown. Besides, there are not that many options in 1998:
  • Dark Orange: too light
  • Fabuland Brown: too pale and reddish
  • Earth Orange (Lego's "12 Light Orange Brown", the colour of Ron Weasley's Hair and Duplo Lions): too bright and also too light
  • Fabuland Red (colour of Captain Ironhook's hair): much too Reddish

Awesome! I think we can officially close this out once the two torsos are in, or are there any other missing 90s Ninja theme pieces for the minifigs?

RE: Missing Ninja 1998 Minifigure pieces - Zack Uhlenhuth - 2026-10-14

Seems like young samurai has a blue collared variant https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Young_Samurai of kata's https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Kata red collared armor, but I think that's it!

RE: Missing Ninja 1998 Minifigure pieces - Chris Böhnke - 2026-10-15

Samurai Torso 1:

Blue Version (Samurai Kata):
https://library.ldraw.org/parts/54490

Red Version (Young Samurai):
https://library.ldraw.org/parts/54491

For Ninja minifig parts it's only one torso left now.

Remaining Parts for the entire theme are:
  • 1 Minifig Torso
  • 3 Plastic Foil Flags (both flat and formed) + unprinted version
  • 2 Surf Sail Wings (both flat and formed)
  • 1 Printed Horse Barding (very nasty pattern)
  • 1 Printed Wall Panel
  • 7 Character Cards/Background Stands from the Minifig Packs (hard till impossible to make, as we probably can't use the direct images)
  • not counting formed versions of the climbing ropes

There is also Shogun Warlord from 3344, but I think he shares a torso with Shogun Gi-Dan (just in red base color)

Yes those 2 are technically identical.
