Pharaoh's quest should be remade. Or Adventurers. Or both.

An 18+ Scorpion Pyramid would be fudging sick
Phaool? That sounds like a rather ominous name to have.
There's a lot going on with that facial hair.
Why is the guy from Dino related to Johnny Thunder but not this guy? He just looks like Johnny Thunder!

Pharaoh's Quest itself is kind of a low-key Adventurers remake, but I'd happily take a remake of a remake.
I hope 5978 or 5988 get a tribute like what 21322 is to 6285.

Probably this guy:

And we really need some sort of decent Egyptian theme again.

I don’t really see it. Johnny’s sideburns are shorter, and apart from his signature stache he’s clean shaven compared to this scruffy fellow.

Johnny Dangerthunder?
Great figure! I have a keychain of him.
I agree with all the requests for a return of Adventurers/Pharaoh's Quest or both.
I also agree an 18+ Icons Adventurers Egypt set would be best (i.e Dragon Palace from Orient Expedition is iconic but we get plenty of 'Asian' temples already)
I regret not getting a single set from this theme. I usually get at least a small bit of a theme but I don't know where my head was in 2010's. But Lego being Lego, I'm sure we'll get more sets from this or similar theme.
Everyone comparing him to Johnny Thunder when he's clearly trying to be Harry Cane in this case

Adventurer's Quest. Or just Pharaohs.
Has anyone read any backstory on the Pharaoh's Quest theme? It's obviously inspired by Adventurers with the location and continuation of weather themed names (Thunder, Lightning, Gail Storm, Harry Cane... Raines, McCloud, Hale... still haven't been able to find an explanation for Skvalling... unless is from Squall?). I would love to know if it was ever a direct reboot with the Thunder gang and if/why they changed it.

Their names even rhyme!

Almost, dude. Almost.
At least the torso print looks neat.

My issue with this was all the stickers - the original Adventurers Egyptian sets had a lot of great printed parts with all the hieroglyphics. I mainly regret not getting the Anubis Guards - hope we get an Adventurers remake with all the good bits of PQ and no stickers!

Those Anubis headed figs are fantastic, and the sets (mostly) sublime. All that's missing is a Stargate being dug up.

I just read about a father who made a lifesize replica out of concrete with his sons. Apparently it's really expensive, and really heavy, and visitors aren't welcome.

I heard about that! I told my parents (who are bigger Stargate nerds than me) about it and said that if it works, we should send a certain person home in it, as he's got to be an alien in a human skin suit.
