Bearded Man - Happy Haunts Teal Frame Portrait Series

This highly sought-after Limited Edition (LE) pin, released in 2009, features the iconic Bearded Man from The Haunted Mansion's stretching room portraits at Walt Disney World. Part of the "Happy Haunts Teal Frame Portrait Series," this pin vividly portrays the character, often referred to as "The Dynamite Gentleman" or Ambassador Edward Gracey, holding a piece of paper and adorned with a red sash, set against a spooky rendition of the attraction. The character is known for his portrait's macabre reveal, where he is shown standing atop a barrel of dynamite as the room stretches. The pin itself boasts a striking teal-colored ornate frame and a black banner at the bottom bearing the "Walt Disney World" logo, consistent with the design of the entire 12-pin series. Designed by Monty Maldovan of the Disney Design Group, this pin-on-pin element creates a dimensional effect, with the Bearded Man appearing to stand in front of the Haunted Mansion. As one of the 2000 pieces produced in this collection, it holds significant appeal for collectors who appreciate the classic lore and artistry of the beloved Walt Disney World attraction.
