So I was looking for those clear candy coffins with candy skeleton bones inside for my micronauts collection and I stumbled upon this...

Around $22 before shipping through Amazon.com. Comes with 16 sarcophagi, four different colors with four coffins in each color. The candy inside doesn't taste really good, it's also labeled as "gummy", but it's more like a thicker form of taffy.

The lid doesn't stay on perfectly. but if you're just going to use it for display, then it's no big deal. A drop or two of Elmers school glue along the outside edge of the main body might fix this problem, or maybe a small section of double sided scotch tape cut down in thin sections.

The pharaoh likeness on the the lid isn't very detailed or realistic, nor is it "too" cartoony. There are product stickers on the front and back, but nothing a bit of Goo-Gone can't remove.

I am able to place a Time Traveler inside and it fits just fine as long as you don't have one of the white pins plugged in the back.

Got the labels off a couple of them, two time travelers have new homes.
I think these really kick ***!

I think he said it didn't taste very good, WF07.

I tried it and thought it was pretty bland. Not "gummy" at all, more like taffy, only a heck of a lot more chewy.

My seven year old son however liked it.
