The Figura Obscura: Mouse King figure features a brand-new body, with many of the parts first seen on the Mythic Legions: Mwindajii the Cackler figure from the “Reign of the Beasts” wave. These parts include some of the new articulation that the studio has been adding to select figures recently, and the Mouse King includes double-jointed arms and legs, bicep swivels, butterfly joints, a waist cut and more! He is one of the studio’s most posable figures to date, while still retaining the ability to “pop and swap” pieces with compatible figures.
The most challenging part of designing the Mouse King figure was those aforementioned 7 heads. The figure includes a large collar attachment that holds these 7 heads (all of which are articulated), and that collar can also be removed and the figure displayed with only a single head. Most productions of “The Nutcracker” show the Mouse King with just a single head, and the studio wanted their Figura Obscura version to be able to displayed both ways – with a single mouse head or with the crazy 7-headed look! The ability to display the toy with a single head also alllows collectors to remove the figure's frilled collar and other "kingly" features to create a more plain rodent warrior - perfect for building out the Mouse King's army or for display with a Mythic Legions collection.
The Mouse King figure also includes multiple hands, a bendy tail, a scepter and a sword as well a premium wired soft goods cape, all presented in a deluxe package covered in new artwork as shown in the next section of this feature.
