The idea of a ninja mixel tribe is a definitely a cool one, but I can’t help but wonder where it came from. Was it something that the crew genuinely wanted to do? Or a request from the LEGO execs who were looking to appeal to fans of one of their most popular franchises based off the ninja theme? The ladder case probably wouldn’t be the biggest surprise, but regardless I still think it made for a pretty fun addition to the Mixels lineup.
The Nindjas were lucky enough to be some the few Mixels of the last couple of waves to have a decent amount of screentime(maybe not much but there was still more to be shown than the rest). And while they don’t have the strongest personalities in the show, as they just felt like bland heroic characters, they do however have some sick looking designs.
Mysto pulls off the sensei look perfectly, and his design has a bunch of creative uses for LEGO pieces, especially with his hat and hair.
