The Mummy (1999): Imhotep's Sandstorm

My favorite genre of movies is adventure. While the 90s had its fair share of great adventure movies my favorite was 1999's "The Mummy". It had the perfect combination of action, horror, comedy, and romance and an amazing cast. Its success and popularity revitalized the Mummy franchise. When I saw this challenge I knew that the Mummy would be the perfect IP for a 90s throwback challenge.

I wanted to create an homage to one of the most famous scene in the film - Imhotep's sandstorm. I thought this would make a great display piece, but also wanted the build to have some play elements. To do this, I recreated iconic scenes from the film behind the storm. These scenes include: discovering the tomb of Imhotep, the treasure room, the scarab attack, and the sacrificial chamber. There is also an easter egg on the bottom floor where a false wall pulls out to reveal the legendary book of Amun-Ra.

The set also includes 7 minifigures of key characters from the film.
