Not sure if this is the best place, but thought some may have interest for customizing or dio potential. Found this "Egypt Mummy Excavation Kit" on Amazon, added it to my watchlist at the normal $15.99 price and when it hit $10 earlier this week I went ahead and pulled the trigger. It is a tad small but certainly workable.

The set requires you to dig the sarcophagus out of a plaster brick which was actually somewhat enjoyable albeit very messy. Made for fun discussion with my daughter. With a small amount of dremelling (mainly the arm area) one could get a thinner figure fully in there such as Cobra Commander. So if you're planning on an Egypt, museum or some other type of related photo-shoot you may want to consider picking one up.

The upcoming mummy in the Dr Who line should work perfectly with this set.

Agreed. Or one of those AOD deadite figures. Very nice find. Thanks for sharing.

yeah this is really cool and I have been looking for Egyptian themes stuff lately, I don't see it at the $10 price though just the $15, guess I was too late.

I picked one up. I think it will be fun to dig it out with my son plus makes a nice prop for adventure team displays

Another good Egyptian environment is the McFarlane monsters Mummy set. If you don't already have it.

That's a great find indeed. I love looking at the sets like that in TRU.

Good call on using the AoD figure, fits extremely well.

Regarding the Amazon price, I'd suggest for stuff like this to just use an Amazon watchlist, the prices on things like this and tools seem to dramatically spike one direction or the other depending on demand. At least based on my wishlist items anyway.
