Pharaoh's Quest

I decided on a whim to rebuild at least one of each of these figs, then realized I didn't have much to say about them as a whole. That Anubis fig kicks ass, but the rest are somewhat generic somehow. Especially when compared to the Dino Hunter figs that came out around the same time. In a way, the figs from both that theme and this one are entirely interchangeable.

 

And all the mummies are the bloody same. Though the Pharaoh himself is a pretty slick fig. As for the sets, I honestly barely remember them. A lot of maroon vehicles and some big tan structures sometimes.

 

Honestly, I don't think it was a bad attempt, it just didn't even hold a lit stick of dynamite to its predecessor, and ultimately ended up rather forgettable. Especially compared to some of the wilder themes like Monster Fighters. Here I've changed the Jake Raines variant to an original character just to diversify the cast, and at least added a bulldog for character.

 

Should lego try harder on a new Adventure theme? I certainly think so.
