Year Released
2012 - Released during the debut of the Monster Fighters theme which focused on various classic movie monsters and their hunters.
Rarity
Uncommon - While mass-produced in the theme's entry-level set, the Monster Fighters line was short-lived (only one year), making all figures from this series highly sought after by niche collectors.
Head
White head with unique print: wrap details revealing a metallic silver robotic or skeletal face with one glowing red eye and one dark eye socket. It is single-sided.
Torso
White torso with bandage wraps printed on the front and back. The wraps are shaded with light bluish gray to give a sense of depth and rot. The hands are white.
Legs
White legs with matching bandage wrap printing across the front of the hips and legs. The printing is detailed with tattered edges and gaps.
Accessories
Usually comes with a glow-in-the-dark moonstone or a staff; the pictured figure is holding a dark gray/black weapon or tool piece. Often paired with a ancient-style horse or chariot in its primary set.
Color Scheme
Primarily White and Light Bluish Gray with metallic silver, black, and red accents for the facial features.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing with excellent continuity between the torso and leg bandage patterns. Includes back printing but no arm or side-leg printing.
Variants
This specific Mummy is the 'Glow-in-the-dark' version (though only the accessory usually glows). Later versions in themes like Scooby-Doo or CMF Series 3 have significantly different bandage designs.
Condition Notes
Susceptible to yellowing of the white plastic if exposed to UV light. Check for cracks in the torso sides and heels. The white base plastic shows dirt/grime more easily than darker colors.
Estimated Value
Used: $5.00 - $8.00 USD; New/Condition: $10.00+ USD. Price is stable but slowly rising as Monster Fighters becomes a legacy 'cult classic' theme.
Price (New)
Contained in set 9462 (The Mummy), which retailed for $11.99 USD in 2012.
Compatible Sets
9462 The Mummy, 850447 Monster Fighters Accessory Set.
Character Background
This character serves Lord Vampyre in the Monster Fighters universe, tasked with protecting the Moonstones to help bring about eternal darkness.
Design Notes
A significant evolution from the classic 1990s Adventurers Mummy; this version features more realistic, layered 'dirty' bandages and a more menacing, supernatural face print.
Similar Minifigures
Mummy (CMF Series 3), Mummy (Adventurers), The Mummy (Scooby-Doo), Pharaoh Hotep.
Collectibility
High for 'Monster' fans. The theme has a dedicated following, and completing the Moonstone-bearer collection is a common goal for collectors.
History
Monster Fighters was a spiritual successor to Studios and Bricktober monster packs, bridging the gap between old-school play and modern detailed printing.
Interesting Facts
The red eye is meant to suggest an ancient curse or mechanical possession, a detail unique to this specific mummy design compared to friendlier versions.
Display Suggestions
Looks best in a graveyard diorama or alongside other Monster Fighters villains like the Swamp Creature or Werewolf under UV lighting to highlight the white plastic.
Modification Potential
Excellent for undead army building (MOCs). The torso and legs are versatile for any 'wrapped' character or injured minifigures.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for design. It perfectly captures the aesthetic of the 2012 era and remains the definitive 'Evil Mummy' for many LEGO enthusiasts.
