Summary
The One:12 Collective Mutant Leader figure is significant for its representation of a pivotal character from Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns," showcasing a uniquely aggressive design that effectively captures the character's brutal nature. With over 30 points of articulation, it offers improved mobility and detail compared to previous versions, featuring multiple head sculpts and iconic accessories like a crowbar and torch. However, it is noted for having less cloth goods than other figures in the line, which may lead to a perception of it being somewhat sparse in terms of accessories compared to the original convention exclusive release.
