I recently decided that these collectible minifigures were worth the inflated ebay price and purchased three for my Lego Small World (LSW) collection.
Mariachi (1)- Comes with printed maracas, poncho, and sombrero Mine came with an extra maraca, which is really neat because of the red colour and green printing on it, but I'm not sure if the extra is standard. Also, I'm not quite sure if he is suppose to be wearing one poncho piece in the front and one in the back, but I assumed so because my figure came with two poncho pieces. The instructions seem to indicate that there is only one, worn in the front, but I think he looks better my way. The poncho piece itself looks a bit off-centre, but I'm bad at putting these "cloth" pieces on. The poncho has many designs and colours on it, which help make him look realistic. His huge green sombrero has a little bit of gold detail on the brim. I love his long handlebar mustache and from his smile, he looks pretty happy to be in my LSW collection.
Mime (9)- Comes with beret, mime torso, and two additional heads. I'm glad they went with triple heads on this figure, as he can be happy, sad, and shockingly worried. A mime that can't convey his emotions accurately isn't a very good one. His torso is fairly basic, black and white striped top with a black vest, but it 100% says mime. The black beret is spot-on and rounds out this well-done figure.
Pharaoh (16)- Comes with printed headdress and staff. The staff has crisscross markings throughout, and is topped off with a lovely cobra head. It's suppose to be gold, but I'm not impressed with the muted colour. The gold on the headdress is at least slightly shiny, but I think The Lego Group can improve on their gold. The headdress has some black stripes on it and there is a hollow stud on the front for putting his staff into so he can poke people from afar, I guess. Mr. Pharaoh is barely clothed, so his outfit is basic. He's wearing white shorts with some black and gold detail, and his torso features a large black and gold necklace... thing. The lines on his face and his overall facial expression makes him have a worried look about him. Perhaps it's his wife, the Egyptian Queen's doing.
