Mae (Assassin) — Star Wars The Black Series #ACO 06

Overview

Mae at #ACO 06 is the Acolyte Collection’s most accessory-rich figure — 7 accessories on an 18-joint $24.99 standard retail figure, and every single one of them is character-essential. The four knives, the mask in its lowered position, the mask raised, the soft-goods cape: this is the assassin who killed Jedi Master Indara in the series’ opening sequence, fully equipped with the tools and disguises of her trade. Osha’s twin sister. The other Aniseya. The one who made a different choice.

7 accessories. 18 joints. $24.99. 2024. The Acolyte Collection’s accessory peak.

Mae and the Series’ Central Mirror

The Acolyte’s structural argument is a mirror: two twins, the same face, opposite paths. Osha (#ACO 01) is the former Padawan who left the Order but remained in its orbit — the mechanic who gets pulled back into the investigation because she can’t fully escape what she was. Mae is the twin who actively turned against the Order, who trained as an assassin, who executed the killings that started the investigation. Same origin. Same face. Completely different trajectories.

The figure at #ACO 06 arrives exactly when the display demands it: after the five Jedi figures establish the Order’s investigation team, Mae arrives as the person the investigation is pursuing. The ACO Collection opens with the investigators and delivers the antagonist at #06. That structural decision mirrors the series’ own revelation sequence — the audience knows Mae is the assassin before the Jedi do.

Seven Accessories: The Complete Breakdown

Four knives are Mae’s primary weapons — the tools of an assassin who works at close range and carries more than one because the mission requires redundancy. In the series’ fight sequences, Mae deploys knives with the efficiency of someone who has been training with them for years under a specific master. The four-knife loadout provides maximum display variety across the figure’s 18 joints.

The dual mask accessories are the detail that elevates the figure from impressive to exceptional. The mask in its lowered position — resting on the face, the assassin in active concealment — and the mask raised — hood back, face visible, the character revealed — give the collector two distinct display configurations with a single figure. Neither mask is a redundant prop; they represent two different operational states of the same character.

The soft-goods cape completes the assassin’s silhouette. Like Sol’s soft-goods robe (#ACO 02), the fabric construction communicates something about the character that sculpted plastic can’t replicate in the same way: the cape’s drape communicates movement, menace, the specific quality of someone who moves through shadow.

The Osha/Mae Twin Display

Mae (#ACO 06) alongside Osha (#ACO 01) is the ACO Collection’s most important two-figure display — the mirror at the heart of the series made plastic. Both figures share the same face (the Photo Real portrait of Amandla Stenberg), the same High Republic era setting, the opposite choices. One in the mechanic’s practical gear with a stun blaster. One in the assassin’s dark outfit with four knives and two mask states and a soft-goods cape.

This display communicates the entire series in two figures. Buy both.

18 Joints and the Assassin’s Configuration

The 18-joint scheme with butterfly shoulders enables the combat poses that Mae’s knife-fighting style requires: the low crouch, the two-knife fighting guard, the forward lunge, the sidestep that takes her out of a Jedi’s lightsaber arc. Mae fights differently from every Jedi in the ACO Collection — her combat style is trained but not Force-assisted, close-range, committed — and the 18-joint articulation makes those specific poses achievable.

Secondary Market

Above-retail secondary market prices. Verify all 7 accessories — the four knives are the most likely to be separated from loose figures at this scale. The dual mask accessories should both be present. No production variants documented.

Our Verdict

Mae (Assassin) at #ACO 06 is the Acolyte Collection’s most complete single-figure value proposition and the purchase the collection’s narrative most demands. Seven accessories, two display configurations, the soft-goods cape, 18 joints: this is the figure that completes the twin mirror the series builds its argument around. Buy Osha. Buy Mae. Display them facing each other. The ACO Collection makes its case in those two figures.

Mae as the Series’ True Protagonist Argument

There’s a compelling case that Mae, not Osha, is The Acolyte’s true protagonist — the character whose choices and whose arc drive the entire series forward, whose relationship with her master is the mystery the investigation is actually chasing. Osha is the audience’s entry point; Mae is the engine.

The figure at #ACO 06 represents Mae at her most operationally complete — the assassin in the field, fully equipped, having already committed to the path she chose. The four knives, the dual mask states, the soft-goods cape: these are the tools of a committed character at the peak of her operational capability. Displaying her this way, against the investigation team of Jedi who are trying to find her, is the specific display the ACO Collection enables.

The Soft-Goods Cape at This Price Point

Mae’s soft-goods cape at $24.99 standard retail, alongside Sol’s soft-goods robe at the same price, makes the ACO Collection two-for-two on fabric construction accessories at standard pricing. The cape’s specific quality — the way it drapes over the dark costume, communicating the assassin’s silhouette in shadow — is the display detail that rewards the out-of-box collector. Seven accessories and a soft-goods element at $24.99. Buy her.

Seven accessories, soft-goods cape, 18 joints, $24.99. Mae Aniseya is the figure the Acolyte Collection needed to complete its twin mirror. Buy her alongside Osha. Display them facing each other. The series’ entire argument is in that two-figure arrangement.

Mae Aniseya at #ACO 06 is the Acolyte Collection’s single most impressive value-per-figure in the line. More accessories than any other figure at the $24.99 price point, a soft-goods element that rivals Sol’s robe, and the character who gives the collection’s twin-mirror display its second half. We have strong opinions about which figures earn their slots. Mae earns hers.

The ACO Collection’s most accessory-rich figure at its most standard price. Nothing more to say. Buy her.
