To find the total surface area of the figure, we need to find the surface area of each individual shape and then add them up.

The figure consists of:
- A rectangular prism with dimensions 15 in x 12 in x 7 in: Surface area = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh = 2(15)(12) + 2(15)(7) + 2(12)(7) = 360 + 210 + 168 = 738 square inches
- Two rectangular prisms with dimensions 6 in x 6 in x 4 in: Surface area for each prism = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh = 2(6)(6) + 2(6)(4) + 2(6)(4) = 72 + 48 + 48 = 168 square inches (for each prism)
- Two cubes with side length 4 in: Surface area for each cube = 6s^2 = 6(4)^2 = 6(16) = 96 square inches (for each cube)

Adding up the surface areas of all the shapes:
738 + 2(168) + 2(96) = 738 + 336 + 192 = 1266 square inches

So, the total surface area of the figure is 1266 square inches.
