The Golden Idol

The Golden Idol is the iconic opening scene of Indiana Jones - Raiders of the Lost Ark.

In this pop-up book an adventurer and his treasonous helper have to overcome the traps protecting the golden idol while in the cave - the pit; the trap floor that triggers darts in the wall; the rolling ball.

This pop-up is playable - the spear can be used to pop the "darts" from behind the wall to hit lego mini-figures in front of it; the rolling ball when pushed from the top will follow a path that will hit any mini-figure standing in front of the cave entrance.

A get-away biplane is also waiting in the river for our hero to escape...

When closed the pop-up book will fit every item (including the two mini-figures) and it will hold the ball in the "box" of wood and branches. With a couple of well placed cover studs the mini-figures can also be held so nothing rattles.

I wish I had pieces to build the full cover - but this was the best I could do with what was available (including the colors).
