5988

Set 5988, Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins, depicts an Egyptian inspired ruin site in the Adventurers theme, Desert subtheme. Released in 1998, it contains 720 pieces and frames an archaeological expedition with explorers, rivals, a pharaoh and a skeleton.

Pharaoh's Forbidden Ruins belongs to the Desert branch of Adventurers, where expeditions, temples and archaeological discoveries drive the setting. The model provides a large ruin scene for stories about exploration, danger and competition around ancient remains.

The set contains 720 pieces and 8 named figures: Harry Cane, Lord Sam Sinister, Pharaoh Hotep, Baron Von Barron, Dr. Charles Lightning, Johnny Thunder with Backpack (Desert), Miss Gail Storm with Red Legs and Skeleton, Standard Face, Ball Joint Arms (3626b Head). The build forms a ruin environment with enough presence to stage searches, chases and confrontations among the characters.

It is suited to narrative play, display and collecting within the Adventurers range. In the Desert subtheme, it can be viewed as a central archaeological setting because it brings together expedition members, antagonists and tomb related figures in one model.
