Starter Set - The Hatbox Ghost Portrait ONLY - Haunted Mansion Ghost Host Collection

This captivating Open Edition (OE) pin features the enigmatic Hatbox Ghost, a legendary character from Disney's iconic Haunted Mansion attraction. Part of the "Haunted Mansion Ghost Host Collection" starter set, this pin showcases the spectral figure in a detailed portrait-style frame, rendered in shades of purple, black, white, and grey. The design of the frame itself is inspired by the wood-carved archway found in the load area of Magic Kingdom's Haunted Mansion, adding an authentic touch for park enthusiasts. The Hatbox Ghost, known for his eerie disappearing and reappearing head effect, was an original animatronic in the Disneyland Haunted Mansion when it opened in 1969, but was quickly removed due to technical difficulties with the effect. He remained absent for decades, becoming a highly sought-after and mythical figure among fans, until his triumphant return to the attraction in 2015 as part of Disneyland's 60th-anniversary celebration. This particular pin, released in 2025, is part of a larger "Haunted Mansion Ghost Host Collection" which includes a nine-pin mystery puzzle set featuring various characters from the ride. Collectors value this pin for its portrayal of a fan-favorite, historically significant character from one of Disney's most beloved attractions, making it a desirable piece for any Haunted Mansion collection. This specific pin was released as part of a starter set and was available at multiple Disney Parks, including Walt Disney World and Disneyland Resort.
