Cole comes with his signature scythe and a clean minifig render, but 21 pieces at this price point is a tough sell when the polybag format gives you almost nothing beyond the character itself.

The Full Take
Ninjago's earth ninja has a devoted fanbase, and this polybag delivers the minifig faithfully — the scythe, the black gi, the stern expression all check out. But a polybag is only as good as what surrounds the figure, and Cole's little build is skeletal even by polybag standards. The price-to-content ratio is where this one stumbles hardest; you're essentially paying a premium for a single minifig dressed up with a handful of accessory bricks. For a Cole completionist, that might be enough. For anyone else, it's hard to look at this and feel like you got a fair shake. The B- overall reflects that tension — the character is solid, the package around him is thin.
