Unleashing the Power of the Crystal King: Amazing Alternate Builds from LEGO Set 71772

In the mystical world of Ninjago, LEGO Set 71772 – The Crystal King stands as a menacing figure—a powerful villain cloaked in crystal armor, summoning dark forces to challenge the ninja heroes. But once you’ve completed the official build, the true adventure begins. What if the same set of bricks could become something entirely different?

With its vivid blend of transparent magenta, gunmetal gray, and articulated mech parts, this set is packed with potential far beyond its original form. Thanks to the creativity of LEGO fans worldwide, The Crystal King has been reimagined into a fleet of alternate builds—each with its own personality, story, and striking design. From alien spaceships to battle-hardened mechs, these fan-made MOCs (My Own Creations) transform the set’s villainous energy into an explosion of new ideas.

Whether you’re looking to extend the life of your set, challenge your building skills, or discover what else lies within the Crystal King's inventory, these alternate builds offer endless inspiration. Best of all, they’re made using only the parts from the original set—or in a few cases, cleverly combined with a second one.

Below, explore an exciting gallery of alternate models. 

Let’s dive in.
