McFarlane Toys DC Multiverse Mister Miracle action figure review (2025)

Mister Miracle has one of the more visually exciting characters of any DC character. I first learned of the character via Justice League International, where he fit in perfectly with the likes of Blue Beetle, Guy Gardner, Batman and Martian Manhunter.

With the release of Orion, Kalibak and Darkseid, Mister Miracle seemed like the next most obvious New Gods character to add to the mix. That he can help add another member to the JLI roster was a welcome bonus as well.

Let’s see if the master of escape is version is ready to reign or if it’s just another pretender.

Packaging:  Outside of the always clean looking Gold Label foil sticker, Mister Miracle gets the base level Multiverse packaging featuring the black color scheme with white accents. Over on the side, it lists New Gods as the inspiration.

Naturally, that’s not really the reference art for the back, which is artwork from Mitch Gerads from the Mister Miracle series he drew with writer Tom King. That trade paperback is available at my affiliate Amazon.

Likeness: Mister Miracle has a fantastic outfit. It’s got so many cool elements from the large, flared collar, the unique mask pattern, boots and gloves and the random belt design. He’s one of the best designs Jack Kirby created for the New Gods.

The McFarlane figure largely does The King proud although there were a few tweaks that could have put it over the top. First, it’s the cape. Mister Miracle reuses the cape and clasp from the Alan Scott Green Lantern figure. This is a solid choice although the clasp connecting piece should be two diamond shape pieces instead of cord.

The other “issue” is McFarlane has been incorporating soft good cloth capes with figures since the beginning of the year. They look so much better, and a poseable cape would have added that next level of dynamic posing to Mister Miracle.

Kirby would frequently draw Mister Miracle with just an indent of his nose so it was rarely fully visible. Since McFarlane actually took the time to sculpt the points and linework with his mask, it would have been nice to have the nose hidden somewhat. Also, his eyes should be visible as well as some portions of the skin around his eyes with the mask setup.

His smiling expression makes sense for the character. The sculpting on the gloves and boots with the circular discs in the top center section is spot on. Ditto for his unique belt setup with smaller discs wrapped around the midsection portion.

Scale: Mister Miracle is an average height character at around 6′. He should be looking up at Batman (6’2″) and Superman (6’3″), but his scale is not as egregious as some other characters in the line so I’m not losing sleep over it.

Paint: McFarlane figures normally have solid paint jobs. Mister Miracle has a higher degree of difficulty with the mask and the discs in his belt, boots and gloves, but everything was smooth with my figure.

The mask is going to be the aspect of the figure you’re going to want to look at closely thanks to the points. The paint can be slightly askew on them.

For the rest of the figure, the parts are molded in their respective colors so there’s not too many opportunities for shoddy paintwork.

Articulation: Mister Miracle is less of a fighter and more of a battling strategist, who shrewdly deals with his adversaries. For his figure, he needs good range of motion for his more dynamic stances and daring escapes.

With the regular 22 points of articulation, Mister Miracle can hit a variety of poses though a soft goods cape definitely would have helped add a bit more flair to his stances.

Mister Miracle has:

• neck
• ball-jointed shoulders
• butterfly shoulders
• elbow
• wrist
• wrist hinge
• torso
• waist
• hip
• thigh
• knee
• ankle
• toe

Accessories: Mister Miracle is a character that doesn’t need a ton of accessories, but there was one major thing he did need, which was thankfully included.

That’s his Aero-discs, which allows him to fly. There’s a peg for his feet to plug into to simulate him levitating. It would have been nice to get the opposing hands — a left fist and open right hand — to have a matching set. Maybe an alternate head sculpt with the hidden nose would have made for a nice bonus as well?

As usual, he does come with the trading card and black circular stand.

Worth it?  At $24.99, the value isn’t as great considering the smaller number of accessories although it’s still cheaper than Marvel Legends, Star Wars and GI Joe figures.

Rating: 8 out of 10

Mister Miracle gets a pretty solid figure in the line. There are a few costume design choices that would have been great to see implemented, but this is certainly not a bad addition to the Multiverse line.

Where to get it?  Mister Miracle is a Target exclusive figure so that’s your best bet.  To get other DC Multiverse figures, head on over to Amazon.
