LEGO Ninjago set 70638, “Katana V11”, depicts Kai’s vehicle in the Sons of Garmadon context.

“Katana V11” places Kai and Luke Cunningham within the Ninjago setting associated with Sons of Garmadon. The main subject is a stylized combat vehicle, visually tied to Kai and suited to chase or confrontation scenes. It represents a vehicle focused entry in the theme rather than a location or large backdrop.

The build is centered on the main vehicle, with a low, assertive profile that suggests speed and action. Decorative details and accessories support character recognition and make the model usable for straightforward story based play.

This set suits Ninjago fans who want a compact Kai related vehicle for display, play, or a character focused collection. It can stand alongside other Ninjago vehicles without requiring a large setting.
