Today’s Throwback Thursday is a look back at our very first rare theme: the Egyptian Theme!
Normally, items in a rare theme can only be found in the Curio Shop, which means there’s a chance each day that one of these items might appear there, but for one hour only!
When the Curio Shop opened in 2006, the Egyptian Theme was the one and only rare theme in all of Webkinz World. However, not all items in this theme made the cut: there was a toybox that looked like an Egyptian sarcophagus which was deemed to be inappropriate for our audience at that time, and was never released.
Since then, there have been some additions to the Egyptian theme that are a little easier for the Webkinz Archaeologist to dig up! If you keep an eye on the Ganz eStore or the new WShop, you might just see a Kitti of the Nile, the Egyptian Room Divider, a Golden Hippo Toybox, or the frighteningly-funny Mummy’s Awake!
There was also an Egyptian Mummy Mask that was available in the KinzStyle Outlet only for Halloween back in 2012!
Have YOU collected any Egyptian Theme items? Which ones do you love the most? Let us know in the comments below!
Oh yeah, one of my favorite rare themes! What fun to see the never released sarcophagus and to learn more about this awesome theme. I remember how much fun it was to look for these items in the Curio Shop – trying to collect all of the items and put together some awesome rooms. I liked looking at my friends’ My Pages and seeing whether they wished for any of the items and then gifting them as a surprise. Those were the days! Thanks for another fun Throwback Thursday.
i never thought it was fun because i was poor ps my clothes are for trade i often check the comments so leave a reply if you want to meet at the trading room. (ps i might be a bit picky so i dont want Wshop, KinzStyleOutlet or KinzStyle). others too that would not be considered a rare. JibberJabber2 ;)
aww! you sound very kind!! God Bless You!! p.s Jesus Loves YOU!!
i love the the new theiam
cool
golden hippo toybox
This is one of my fav rare themes! Also, there’s an Egyptian Tomb Window that’s an exclusive item in the Wish Factory.
I have that, if anyone wants it for trade, just tell me. ~MGFish~
I was trying to collect the theme, but then it retired. :(
yeah.. I was before too and then I realized it was retired :[
Me too! I had a pretty good collection at one point, but then it ended. :( Thanks for the cool flashback though Ganz! ~Ocean
I am trying to collect them! dose anyone have any Egyptian items that they don’t need? I will give GOOD stuff for them.
what retired? the Egyptian theme? you can still buy most (if not all) of the stuff at the curio shop. ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○ cinderheart ♥ lionblaze ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○
oops. sorry. I just looked it up and realized that the theme did retire! sorry, I didn’t realize. why did it have to retire, I was trying to get it all!! I have probably half of it, but I really wanted to get it all. ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○ cinderheart ♥ lionblaze ☺☻♥♦♣♠•◘○
I tried to collect the theme too. Too bad it retired…….. :(
yellowwhedgehog17755, there is still ONE way to get them: though trades.
lol! why would a sarcophagus be inappropriate? i remember seeing real ones at the museum when i was just a little kid and wondering if there was a dead guy inside. (there was . . . and is.)
I think it’s kinda cool ! But I don’t understand how they can’t have a sarcophagus but they can have a tombstone and similar stuff for Halloween ? :?: :? :?: :?: :? Thanks for sharing this guys! Could you consider doing one on the very first design and prizes of the wheel of wow or the retired game “driving school” ? Thanks for taking the time to read, Sincerely, JesusismyLord830
Maybe they didn’t want something, if little kids might think that there’s a dead guy in it? Or maybe the design just didn’t catch on. What was the REAL reason Ganz? ~MGFish~
I think you’re right, MGFish, it was considered inappropriate at the time due to it basically being a coffin. I guess their decision has changed since then, though!
true true!
I I was wondering that too….. Maybe they’ll be nice and give it to us later, anyway…lol
i dont get why it is in appropriate either
omg! can we have a pharoah costume and a mummy costume to go with? that would be totally awesome!!!! :D
there is a cleopatra and a mummy costume and an egyptian mask as well :)
There was a pharaoh-mummy costume at the clothes store on Webkinz on Halloween 2012, but it went away a little while after that. There was also a Cleopatra costume, I think last year for halloween and I have the full thing. Also, add me on Webkinz! My user is superstargirl00
i already have a room for the Tomb of Tupsepsut, but it would be awesome to have another Egyptian room or two! thx, Ganz! love to all! :D
what is the mummy’s awake item?does it do something? beautiful designs, Ganz! also does kitti of the nile do something?
i have mask
and all mummy rapp shoes pants shirt and hat but it also goes good with the mummy mask
I don’t have anything
wow!! thanks for sharing! p.s. im qwedsa999, just changed and account. ;)
The Mummy’s Awake item is my favorite. It was at the estore a while back, and is very, very cool. There is a mummy who grabs the gate and shakes and rattles it around, trying to get free. A pair of red glowing eyes appear and there is Egyptian music that plays in the background. One of my all-time favorite items!
They are both from the Estore. The kitti of the nile is a decoration…does not do anything. The Mummy’s awake makes a sound like a rattling of the gate and has mummy arms holding onto the bars like he wants out of the gate. lol It is pretty fun!!!! :) Hope this helps!
This is SUPER exciting!!!! The only prob. is that with the theme coming back,the Rare Egyptian room theme collectors are going to have like No-one who wants to trade them lol but bad!!! :( :)
I think the Mummy Awake shivers but I do know a mummy tries to get out and reaches out the gate, Kiti of Nile just sits there.
I like the Kitti of the Nile a lot!
Yeah, they do :P :) It’s really cool :D I have the whole theme at my house, friend me, im AwsomeSwagDragonGirl without the one :lol:
The Mummy’s awake item has angry red eye that appear behind the gate. The kitty of the Nile is decoration, and does not do anything.
Ive had at least 10 of the kitti things a mounth before they came out wierd..
I don’t see anything wrong with the sarcophagus … guess it is a tomb, though.
