- Hitchhiking Ghosts
This is not WDCC but it is a great figurine so I wanted to feature it in the blog. This is part of the 40th Anniversary celebration for the Haunted Mansion at Disneyland. This is an open edition so you will be able to get it even if you don't come to the park on September 9th for the gala event.
This and other merchandise can be seen at Haunted Mansion Event Merchandise which is the website for the Anniversary celebration.
When the ghoulish thrills of Disney’s Haunted Mansion meet the folk artistry of Jim Shore,the result is a spellbinding creation celebrating the famed attraction’s unofficial mascots,the Hitchhiking Ghosts. Phineas (on the left with top hat and bag),Ezra (in the center,the tall,skeletal ghost),and Gus (the bearded ghost with ball and chain) are eager to hitch a ride in your Doom Buggy as you pass by three large mirrors in the Crypt area of the darkened attraction.
Shown here in full regalia standing in front of the impressive gate and sign of the Haunted Mansion,this special piece has been created to honor the 40th anniversary of the attraction and includes some fun-filled features:
- LED lights atop the gate pillars
(light switch on bottom of piece)
- Glow-in-the-dark paint on the Ghosts’
faces and extremities
- Metalwork on the gate and real chain
for Gus’ ball and chain
