Figure ID
pha003
Theme
Pharaoh's Quest
Year Released
2011; released during a period where LEGO was experimenting with unique in-house action-adventure themes after the success of Indiana Jones.
Rarity
Uncommon; it appeared in two retail sets, making it relatively easy to find upon release, but its parts—particularly the wings—make it highly sought after today.
Head
White head with mummy bandage printing and a single glowing red cyborg-eye; features an Earth Blue (Dark Blue) Egyptian falcon-style headdress with sand blue and black accents.
Torso
Black torso with a print of an Earth Blue quilted vest, a large red and yellow beaded collar (Uskh), and a gold belt. It has black arms and dark stone grey hands.
Legs
White legs with dark blue hip/loincloth printing and tattered bandage details on the lower legs.
Accessories
Large specialized avian-style wings made of hard plastic, featuring a color gradient from Earth Blue to Bright Light Yellow with gold metallic feather detailing. In sets, it usually carried a khopesh or spear.
Color Scheme
Primary colors include White, Earth Blue, and Bright Light Yellow, accented with Red, Gold, and Black for a royal yet undead appearance.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head, torso, and legs. Notably, the wings feature extensive metallic gold ink printing which was advanced for 2011 production standards.
Variants
Standard version as seen here; no major production variants exist for this specific figure member, though other mummy types exist in the theme.
Condition Notes
The wings are the most vulnerable part, prone to scratches on the gold printing. The headdress can suffer from 'clutch' issues where it rests on the neck, causing small stress marks.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $8.00 - $12.00 USD; New/Mint: $15.00+ USD. The wings alone often account for half the value.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $29.99 (7325) to $99.99 (7327). Never sold as a standalone polybag or blister pack.
Compatible Sets
7325 Cursed Cobra Statue (2011), 7327 Scorpion Pyramid (2011).
Character Background
The Mummy Warriors are the undead guardians of the Pharaoh Amset-Ra, brought back to life to defend the six treasures of the pyramid against the explorers.
Design Notes
The wing element (Part 92594) was a new mold for this theme and was designed to be sandwiched between the head and torso, a technique later used in various superhero and Ninjago themes.
Similar Minifigures
Flying Mummy (pha011), Mummy (pha002), and the Series 3 CMF Mummy (col035).
Collectibility
High for collectors of 'System' era adventure themes. It is a key 'army builder' figure for those recreating Egyptian fantasy dioramas.
History
Pharaoh's Quest was a short-lived theme (2011) that bridged the gap between classic Adventurers and later story-driven themes like Monster Fighters.
Interesting Facts
The wing piece remains one of the largest 'back-attach' accessories ever made for a standard minifigure without utilizing a brick-built assembly.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a transparent 'pose bar' to simulate flight, preferably alongside a Desert Expedition vehicle or inside a sandstone-colored MOC pyramid.
Modification Potential
The wings are frequently used by customizers to create 'Falcon' from Marvel's Avengers or various Harpy/Angel fantasy creatures.
Overall Assessment
A standout figure of its era. The combination of the unique falcon mask and the massive wingspan makes it one of the most visually striking 'minions' LEGO has ever produced.
