Maya

The Maya minifigure is desirable for collectors interested in the Ninjago theme, specifically those focused on completing their 'Hands of Time' subtheme collection. Her unique torso print, featuring a tunic and apron design, is exclusive to this minifigure, enhancing its appeal. The combination of the detailed printing and the specific hairpiece makes her easily recognizable and a sought-after addition to any Ninjago display.

Condition is always a factor for collectors. Minifigures in excellent condition, with no scratches or fading on the printing, command a higher price. As the Dragon's Forge set has been retired for several years, finding a Maya minifigure in pristine condition may present a challenge, further increasing her collectibility.

Maya appears exclusively in the Dragon's Forge (70627-1) set, released in 2017. This single set appearance contributes to her relative scarcity on the aftermarket compared to minifigures appearing in multiple sets. While not a regional exclusive or special edition, the fact that the set is now retired means that new Maya minifigures are no longer entering the market, gradually increasing her rarity over time.

Given her single set appearance in a now-retired Ninjago set, the Maya minifigure has moderate investment potential. As the Ninjago theme remains popular, demand for minifigures associated with specific storylines, like 'Hands of Time', is likely to remain steady. While not an exceptionally rare or high-value minifigure, her limited availability and unique design make her a reasonable investment for Ninjago collectors.
