What makes you think the mask is in two pieces? From what I can see I can’t really pick out any details from the mask. 

It is two pieces check out this link: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cp033F3pFNK/

Looks like we're going back to the ninjago movie style masks

Unrelated, but my crystal temple moc has been completed, if you want, check it out:

Great minifigure, can't wait to see the others.

New plot revealed seems real but take with a grain of salt:

check out ninjafan_ story on instagram to see

[a guy from somewhere]

"The new season of Ninjago begins with a shocking twist: A mysterious enemy has traveled through time and altered key events in ninja history, creating a dangerous alternate timeline. The ninja team must race against time to find a way to set things right before it's too late. But the task proves more difficult than they ever imagined, as they battle new enemies and struggle to keep their own memories of the original timeline intact. Traveling through time, they soon stumble upon a long-forgotten race of dragons, powerful beings who hold the key to restoring the timeline. But the dragons are guarded by a ferocious and cunning dragon hunter who will stop at nothing to destroy anyone who threatens his power. With the dragons and their incredible abilities, the ninja must outsmart and outsmart the dragon hunter in an exciting race against the clock. But as the stakes get higher and the enemies become more powerful, they must also confront their own demons."

 

Seems interesting, but somewhat repetitive (time twins and dragon hunters) but the idea of memory degrading and the time dragons seems very fresh and interesting.

should probably say this is from ninjafan_ on instagram, incase anyone didn’t see the msg above. The story lines up with what we know, Ras and his crew seem to be the main villains whilst krux and acronix are secondary villains. There’s no mention of the other characters like Sorla and Arin.

There is a mistake however, which is telling me it’s fake. The phrase “they must outsmart and outsmart” is very suspicious. I doubt offical Lego marketing would make this sort of mistake.

yeah i saw that too, seems to me as if time twins are major villains and ones behind all this and there is ras and other enemies who are minor villains

I don't follow the show so I dunno how much that description lines up with what has happened previously, but I also think that it may be false just based on the set names. Imperium Dragon Hunter Hound and Elemental Dragon vs. The Empress Mech both make it sound like the ninjas would be fighting some kind of empire, which doesn't fit at all with that season description. Lego does often use adjectives quite liberally so I don't think those two set names explicitly shoot down the season description, but they don't really help it at all.

The magazine picture that leaked showed a much bulkier shoulder armour/shawl cover, and I think the top mask goes on top, a bit like a ninja version of the dragon hunter armour from season 9, and how you can combine and swap the top and bottom parts around. There must be a sword holder at least right?

That’s great news! I loved the movie-era of masks with two parts, they just made the ninja feel more sleek. Hopefully we’ll get a lot of different upper and lower parts that we can mix and match over the next few waves.

Thats fair enough, and to be expected as well. But im glad hes at least acknowledged it. I'm still thinking its kinda fake, he emphasises "how utterly, wildly, massively wrong they are" so I think thats a good enough hint. 

In another post he has said answers are coming sooner than you may think, so with set reveals on the horizon and leak season underway, im excited to see where this leads in the coming days.

[Fire-Ninja]

That interesting ball part that leaked today belongs to Ninjago and appears in multiple colours, according to promobricks

[a guy from somewhere]

They are the dragon energy cores from the temple set.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Wonder what those Dragon Cores are and how they fit into the overall narrative of the new series.

Lower armour piece has leaked, I like it. Seems like good movement for arms, however it looks kinda prototype/unfinished, especially with the buttons at the front on the right shoulder. Other than that, it can hold 2 sword parts, and I think it looks very good on its own without the top mask part, especially for a traveler/wanderer type character. Hopefully Cole’s one is black and not orange or brown, although brown could still work.

More info from the video it originated from (I won’t post the vid, as I think it’s technically a leak) but it can hold the flowing ribbon part monkey king has, and the back is the old ZX katana holder, which I’m so damn glad that’s back.

Looks very good on a custom fig the vid creator made (I think it’s custom anyways, I’m not to versed in superhero’s and stuff. Creator is: Kisha. Go check out their vid.

The armour-mask piece looks good, but I would have preferred it to be dual-moulded. I agree about it working well even without the top half, and it think that it would look great with the headband hairpieces (perhaps we will get this pairing in 2024?). 
BTW, while the ribbon can fit into the scabbard slits, there is no hole specifically for it.

I was hoping the fig would be available. Fully translucent minifigs would be awesome

They would, but probably can’t happen due to production/manufacturing issues

That was an issue in the past when LEGO was using Polycarbonate for transparent pieces, but the new MABS material is similar enough to the standard ABS that there should not be any problems with making transparent Minifigs in the future.

More pics have been leaked from ninjafan, they look very cool actually. One seems to show an explosion in Ninjago city, maybe time related, but it looks like the overlords original form (like that pink weird orb) and the other one is maybe a shot from that subsequent explosion. The last one doesn’t look like Ninjago at all, it’s like it’s from a game or something. Like really good graphics.

Not getting anymore leaks about the Ninjago Modular has me a little worried that we’re not actually one. We had a rumor last year of a 16x32 one that never came to pass. LEGO may just be keeping tight lipped about it like they do regular Modulars though. I hope.

We’re still pretty far out from the rumored release date and we have a name and number. For D2C sets we don’t typically get a description or other leaks until much sooner. Besides, we have some reliable leakers vouching for it. That doesn’t 100% mean it’ll happen, but I wouldn’t worry just yet.
