"Wu Crew". Basically, the ninja team including Sensei Wu.

Well, the page in the Lego magazine did say " cru " instead of crew.

Unless they described it as "Wu's special cru of ninja", the team name is spelled wrong to sound "cool".

Also, Dogshank's figure has tons of nuts and bolts, even through the chest's center. Also, there is a tube on the right side of the chest as well.

... Mech suit?

Anyone?

I don't think she's wearing a mech suit, I think she's just a new creature, like how Doubloon is probably an Oni, and this is the first time were seeing his type of creature in Ninjago.

Yeah, but there's bolts everywhere. And a tube!

Not sure about a mech suit, but perhaps more like a Frankenstein monster?

Also, aren't the sets supposed to be released in the UK in January? If so, we should be seeing some in-hand reviews in the next couple of weeks.

It would be very odd to have a mech suit without someone to go in it (or even the ability for anyone/anything to fit inside). She's definitely armored, but I doubt it's with a mech suit. The other pirates' armor has bolts, too, as far as I can tell, but I don't think they're all mech suits. Plus, her face looks pretty organic, and it's pretty big.

Yeah, I figure Dogshank is definitely wearing some kind of power armor, but "mech suit" would seem to suggest that the armor is the reason for her massive size, and I'm not sure whether that's the case. Right now I don't want to make too many assumptions. It's probably safe to say that the orange part of her body is armor, though, much like it is on the other pirates (besides Nadakhan).

I just found out via one of Max's Missions on the LEGO Club website that the WU-CRU webpages on the LEGO Ninjago site will be launching in February (in the United States, at least). There will be missions there, as well as codes you can use to unlock rewards. By completing the latest LEGO Ninjago mission on the LEGO Club Website you unlock a code you can use in the fourth WU-CRU mission.

I think she's still massive though. To be honest, I was thinking some kind of "armored Frankenstein" kind of thing.

I thought it might be a hybrid of some sort. The bolts really threw me off though, like the one through her chest.

I'm pretty sure that's armor, and she's not bare-chested.

What is that supposed to mean? (honestly, no clue).

I was thinking those were augmentations maybe?

Now of course, she could just be the regular "big" person, but I think it would be unique if there was something more to this, to make it cooler.

I just meant that a bolt on her chest is probably a bolt in her armor, not making the "Frankenstein" interpretation likely.

Thanks for the link! I do wish we had gotten to see Nadakhan and Flintlocke without their face-concealing pieces, though. And I think that if they double-check, they'd see that the monkey mold is, in fact, different.

Jay's new face is a lot more accurate than the old one! (I'm referring to the non-eye patch side) Really love the new head! Hope it will be in the summer wave sets so that I don't have to buy misfortune keeps :-p ( Sorry I just don't have the money. )

Nadakhan has a gunmetal pirate hook !

Jay's new face isn't exactly something you'd see in the show... But with LEGO's attempts at making new Ninjago faces, i'd say... Close enough...

Is this a TV screenshot? A text blurb from promo material? Or just word of mouth (which in that case I highly doubt)... A link would be nice.

(I think this belongs in the show discussion too)

It shows a picture from a book that shows Clouse holding the lamp with Nadakhan coming out.

Huh, that's interesting. Could you provide a link?
