Ardeth Bey



The Mummy Lives!

As chilling and frightening as Boris Karloff was as The Mummy in the classic Universal Studios film, he was equally foreboding as Ardeth Bey-The Mummy unwrapped.

Sideshow Collectibles has recreated Ardeth Bey in a magnificent 12-inch figure with accessories.

The figure comes in Sideshow’s standard flip lid box, complete with a vintage The Mummy poster recreation on its front.  

Text and photos extras are on its inside and back cover and the figure and accessories are safety protected by a clear plastic sheet, a tissue sheet and snuggled in their form-fitted plastic cocoon with wire fasteners.

The Ardeth Bey figure stands 12-inchs tall and is fully articulated.  Articulation points are hidden by the clothing.

Movement is unhindered by the figure’s attire.  No unnatural wrinkles or folds occur when posed.  The cloths hang naturally and all stitching and seams are perfectly in scale.

Clothing includes a long sleeve white turtleneck shirt, an open collar rob with no cuffs, a wide tan belt a golden cat buckle and a three-tier cloth hanging from the belt to mid knee.

The figure wears a deep red fez and small strap brown sandals.

Its hands are pre-positioned to hold the various accessories with no slippage.

Ardeth Rey’s face has a slightly yellow/gray cast with heavy wrinkles, deep set eyes, a drawn up mouth, short black hair and sharp nose with a deeply wrinkle brow.

His hands and feet are equally wrinkled and aged.

Included with the figure are a black obsidian dagger, a hieroglyphic decorated yellowed scroll, a black velvet draw string and a special The Mummy base with support wire.

The sculpt of the figure’s face match’s Boris Karloff's features perfectly with subtle coloring and shading and special emphasis around the eyes and features.
