Dog-like sensibilities mixed with a stellar color scheme make for a unique dragon like nothing we've seen before. BUILD: By this point, NINJAGO dragons are developing very similar builds and structures. There were not many surprises as someone who has built lots of NINJAGO dragons, but this is certainly one of the most refined. The legs are all fairly similar and the tail links are mostly the same, but the body and head are the standout builds. The crooked back of the dragon is not something we have seen before in LEGO's portfolio and works pretty well. PLAY: The dragon is pretty posable, even though there are only two joints per leg. The wings are harder to pose, and can have some weird angles, but that could be part of the wacky charm of this particular dragon. The included windsurfer for Zane is nice and pairs well with the dragon. Also, the antagonists with the double head and tiki mask are very unique and great to have. DISPLAY: Teal is becoming ever more prevalent a color in LEGO sets, and it is quite striking. It looks stellar next to the other NINJAGO Island sets in color and variation, and the head/face especially is not like any other dragon next to it.
All in all, this is a pretty great set. The Jungle Dragon is a very solid design, with a few interesting building steps spicing up the experience. There are a good range of parts in interesting colors. There are four good looking minifigures, all of which are new for 2021, and one that is exclusive to this set. At $39.99 US for 506 pieces, the set comes in at just under eight cents per part, which feels reasonable to me. For people looking at this set as a parts pack, the wealth of teal and sand green elements should be a boost, too.
Despite its comparatively modest scale, 71746 Jungle Dragon is certainly among my favourite NINJAGO dragons! This model features marvellous detail and the teal colour scheme appears particularly impressive, distinguishing the creation from other dragons. Moreover, I am pleased with the extensive articulation which provides numerous possibilities for display.
