It comes in. a wonderful sarcophagus box with a secret drawer, and it has a wrappable pharoah with removable organs (and little canopic jars to store them in!). This is either marvelous, creepy, or marvelously creepy.
Choclo at one point walked up to me with a canopic jar and said, "I have a surprise. Look! It's a liver!!"
To which I replied, "Um, yes! Don't do that to Grammy."
That may fall into the creepy category.
Moving right along...
I should give fair warning that the canopic jar bases have to be cut out and taped together.
There is also a cut out 3D cat mummy that is the most complicated paper thing I have ever assembled.
On the plus side, the enclosed book is really excellent, and it integrates the instructions with extra information in a way that Choclo found captivating.
He created a little museum in his room to show off his new treasures, and, when he lost one of the canopic jar lids, we actually bought a whole extra kit so that he could do the project again (although I held the line at doing the cat mummy over).
My advice, however, would be to go through one of the non "Prime" sellers, as that made it a about $5 cheaper.
As always, I wasn't paid to write this, or given the kit (either time!), just sharing the fun.
