Get ready to unleash the full potential of your Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO set! While the original build roars to life as a blazing dragon, the true magic lies in what you can create when you let your imagination take flight. The fiery red and black pieces, curved elements and winged structures of set 71762-1 make it an ideal source for transforming Ninjago’s elemental power into all kinds of mechanical beasts, hybrid creatures and futuristic vehicles. Whether you’re into towering mechs that stomp through the streets of Ninjago City, dragon-inspired robots or entirely new elemental guardians, these alternate builds show just how far you can push this parts pack.

Imagine combining the set’s spiky wing panels and flame details into a four-legged mech that breathes ‘digital fire,’ or retooling the dragon’s neck and tail into a serpentine robot that coils around its enemies. Swap in technic connectors to add extra articulation, or mix in other Ninjago sets for even more weaponry and color accents. The possibilities extend beyond dragons and mechs, too: try crafting a lava-flow drill tank, an armored sky-wing interceptor or a stealthy fire-stealth bike complete with retractable wings. With every rebuild, you’ll discover new ways to blend organic shapes and mechanical aesthetics—turning Kai’s Fire Dragon EVO into a playground of innovation.

Below is a gallery of four standout MOCs that showcase just how versatile this set can be.
