Year Released

Rarity
Common for CMF series, but becoming uncommon as a discontinued blind-bag figure. It was part of a 16-figure set where each box had equal distribution of this character.
Head
Red head with yellow face mask printing. Features white eyes with black outlines and a cheerful smirk. The print is specifically designed to mimic the comic book appearance of Scott Free's mask.
Torso
Red torso with intricate yellow, black, and green printing. It features the iconic gold 'infinity' discs/scales on the chest and a yellow belt. Arms are dual-molded/printed with red on top and green hands.
Legs
Dual-molded legs with red hips and upper thighs, and bright green on the lower legs. Includes yellow and green boot-top printing to match the comic book costume.
Accessories
Includes a bright green soft-fabric cape with a high collar and a pair of pearl light gray handcuffs (representing his escape artist roots). It originally came with a clear posing stand element (trans-clear bar).
Color Scheme
Primary colors are Red, Bright Green, and Yellow. This vibrant, 'circus-like' palette is directly inspired by Jack Kirby's Fourth World design aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, front of the torso, back of the torso, and front/sides of the legs. The level of detail on the chest circuitry and boot patterns is high for a standard figure.
Variants
There are no official LEGO variants of the Scott Free version of Mister Miracle; this is the only time this character has ever been produced by LEGO.
Condition Notes
The soft fabric cape is prone to fraying at the edges or creasing if stored poorly. Check for 'cape pinch' around the neck. The printing on the red head piece can sometimes show wear at the chin.

Character Background
Mister Miracle (Scott Free) is an escape artist from the planet Apokolips, son of Highfather and a key member of the New Gods created by Jack Kirby. He is known as the world's greatest escape artist.
Design Notes
This figure is praised for its comic accuracy. The use of dual-molded legs and the high-collar cape was a specific design choice to distinguish him from standard caped heroes.
Similar Minifigures
Other Jack Kirby creations like Big Barda (rumored/MOCs), Orion, or even the LEGO Darkseid. He also shares a color palette loosely similar to Classic Robin.
Collectibility
Medium-High. While not extremely expensive, he is a 'one-and-done' figure for Justice League and New Gods completists. Demand remains steady among DC Comics enthusiasts.
History
Launched in January 2020, this represented LEGO's first dedicated DC CMF series. Before this, DC characters were mostly restricted to sets or the LEGO Batman Movie lines.
Interesting Facts
Mister Miracle is arguably the most 'obscure' character in the 71026 series to general audiences, but one of the most beloved by hardcore comic fans. He is often paired with the Big Barda character in fan displays.
Display Suggestions
Display using the included trans-clear posing piece to simulate him performing an aerial escape act or leaping. Place alongside New Gods or Justice League members.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the green cape and dual-molded green/red legs are highly sought after for building other comic-accurate MOCs like various Green Lanterns or Robin.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, comic-accurate representation of a cult-favorite character. It is a 'buy' for DC fans as LEGO is unlikely to revisit the New Gods sub-theme anytime soon.
