Rarity
Uncommon / Mid-range CMF. While not a limited convention exclusive, it is part of an older, retired series with a lower print run than modern waves.
Head
Standard yellow-toned head with Mummy face printing. It features black 'sunken' eyes, a skeleton-like nasal cavity, and a bared-teeth grimace. It includes the Pearl Gold Pharaoh headpiece with red and black stripes.
Torso
Tan torso with Mummy bandage printing. The pattern features horizontal and diagonal black line bandage wrappings with some 'frayed' texture details. Back side also features bandage printing.
Legs
Tan legs with consistent Mummy bandage printing that flows from the hipline down the front of the legs. No side or back leg printing.
Accessories
Gold Pharaoh headdress and a Glow-in-the-Dark Scorpion. Note: The image shows the figure holding a red/black sword and standing on a green leaf piece, which are non-original MOC components.
Color Scheme
Tan (Sand Yellow) and Pearl Gold base colors. Accents in Black and Red (headdress stripes).
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing typical of the CMF line. Bandage lines are crisp. The headdress features dual-layered red and gold printing.
Variants
There are other Mummy variations in LEGO (e.g., Monster Fighters, Pharaoh's Quest), but this specific print and headdress combination is unique to Series 3.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to 'loose arms' over time. The tan plastic can show dirt/grime easily. Check for chips in the gold chrome/paint on the corner of the headdress.
Estimated Value
$6.00 - $10.00 USD (Used); $15.00 - $20.00 USD (New/Sealed in bag). Value fluctuates based on the presence of the original scorpion accessory.
Price (New)
$1.99 USD (Blind bag price at retail in 2011).

Character Background
Inspired by classic Universal Monsters and Egyptian mythology. This specific mummy is often depicted as a bumbling, confused undead being rather than a malicious one.
Design Notes
This was the first time the Pharaoh headpiece was offered in a budget figure, previously being more common in larger Adventurers or Pharaoh's Quest sets.

Collectibility
Medium-High. Completionists for the CMF line always need this figure. It is an essential component for 'un-life' or spooky-themed displays.
History
Part of the third wave of the revolutionary Collectible Minifigure line, which shifted LEGO's focus toward character-driven accessory packs.
Interesting Facts
This figure is often used in LEGO stop-motion animations because the bandage pattern provides high contrast that looks great on film.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a CMF case or an Egyptian desert diorama. Pair with the CMF Series 2 Pharaoh for a master-and-servant look.
Modification Potential
Excellent for 'undead' army building. The torso and legs are often used by MOC builders to create customs of characters like Moon Knight or classic zombies.
Overall Assessment
A solid, iconic classic from the early golden era of CMFs. The pearl gold headdress makes it feel premium despite being a blind-bag figure. A 7/10 for collectors.
