ULTRA-RARE VINTAGE 1999 HERSHEY'S x UNIVERSAL STUDIOS "THE MUMMY" THEATRICAL PROMO DISPLAY
Up for sale is an exceptionally scarce piece of late-1990s cinematic and advertising history. This massive, premium promotional inflatable stands nearly 7 feet tall and features the highly coveted 3D "Groundbreaker" design. The mummy's head and hands are independently inflated chambers engineered to look as if the monster is physically tearing its way out of the sarcophagus shell lid.
Official Authentication: Features the original 1999 copyright date stamp printed clearly on the back vinyl, proving its authenticity from the original Brendan Fraser The Mummy film retail campaign.
These high-end displays were never sold to the public. They were manufactured in highly restricted numbers, distributed exclusively as flagship store sweepstakes prizes/displays, and are completely distinct from the common, flat single-piece Hershey mummies of the early 90s. Most were destroyed after Halloween 1999, making surviving airtight copies exceptionally hard to find.
CONDITION REPORT:
• 100% AIRTIGHT & LEAK TESTED: Fully inflated and monitored over multiple days. Holds pressure beautifully with zero air loss across all chambers when the vintage valves are firmly closed. Seams are structurally perfect.
• COSMETIC STATE: Collector-grade condition. The vinyl is soft, flexible, bright, and completely free of scuffs, dry-rot, tears, punctures, or retail marker markings.
• Note on wrinkles: Has minor horizontal folding creases from being safely packed away for 25+ years. These have begun smoothing out with inflation and warmth, and the final smoothing can be easily finished by the buyer using a gentle low-warmth hair dryer technique.
An absolute crown jewel for vintage horror movie buffs, Halloween display enthusiasts, or advertising collectors. Item will ship completely deflated and wrapped securely.
From a clean, smoke-free home.
