    Pharaoh Hotep's Tumb (Remake of 5958)

    I think the Adventurers theme deserves some (renewed) love! I based my submission on set 5958 (Mummy's Tomb), which I didn't own a kid, but I remember looking at it at the store quite a few times.

    This set has some steps that go through the desert's dunes, leading Johnny Thunder in his quest for treasure to an old temple. The mausoleum has some hard-to-decipher hieroglyphs of old age. Maybe they are a warning?

    In a pedestal, lies Pharaoh Hotep's jewel. Johnny reaches out and while loosening it, he realizes it looks a bit... fake? Unknowingly, he activated a trap! The set has a mechanism that wakes up the pharaoh himself from his sarcophagus with the real gem! Moreover, the same mechanism will make the stone guardian give Sam Sinister (who was following Johnny's steps) quite a scare.

    I wanted to include Johnny's ride and the obelisk, but due to the piece limit, I prioritized a more detailed temple, stone guardian, and the play feature's mechanism. Enjoy!
