LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising (almost) has the most dragons ever
LEGO NINJAGO Dragons Rising has many dragons in its sets and it stacks up well compared to previous waves in the theme.
Counting polybags, figures and builds in sets, NINJAGO Dragons Rising nearly has the most dragons of any NINJAGO wave so far, but few have quite as many as the new dragon-centric collection.
Given the name of the new series, it only makes sense for it to have a lot of dragon models. Including every dragon in the newly revealed sets, there are five in total (not counting the multiple Baby Riyu figures).
| NINJAGO wave | Number of dragons |
|---|---|
| Pilot | 5 |
| Rise of the Snakes | 1 |
| The Final Battle | 1 |
| Rebooted | 1 |
| Tournament of Elements | 1 |
| Possession | 6 |
| Skybound | 4 |
| Day of the Departed | 0 |
| Hands of Time | 1 |
| Sons of Garmadon | 0 |
| Hunted | 4 |
| March of the Oni | 0 |
| Secrets of the Forbidden Spinjitzu | 1 |
| Prime Empire | 2 |
| Master of the Mountain | 2 |
| The Island | 1 |
| Seabound | 1 |
| Crystalized | 1 |
| Dragons Rising | 5 |
With five dragons, Dragons Rising ties with the Pilot wave but comes in just short of Possession’s six dragons.
Since Core and Legacy waves aren’t based on any specific source material, or draw inspiration from multiple seasons, we’ve not included them in this comparison.
All 14 NINJAGO Dragons Rising models launch on June 1, 2023, including the biggest build in the theme so far – 71799 NINJAGO City Markets.
