Mickey Makes a Ghostly Visit to The Haunted Mansion
It’s hardly surprising when an attraction themed pin series from Disney lands in The Haunted Mansion in October. In fact, it’s more surprising to me when they visit it any month other than October. It makes sense, the attraction is incredibly popular, and October is peak spooky season. Mickey landed there in the October entry in the Mickey Mouse the Main Attraction series, and it makes for a great pin.
As expected, the predominate colors are a ghostly green. Mickey’s wearing a dark green suit with a green and purple tie. He’s taken on a light green skin tone to better blend in with his surroundings. And he’s wearing a dark top hat with a purple band on it.
One thing that does surprise me about this pin is that no part of it glows in the dark. I’ve kind of gotten used to that with Haunted Mansion pins, but that isn’t the case here. Not that it needs it, but it is a fun touch when it is included.
As always, my first criteria is how easy is the attraction to identify from the pin, and in this case, any fan of Disney would know what attraction Mickey’s visiting here. The color scheme is a dead giveaway, and the costume is just as obvious. He honestly looks like he is ready to welcome you to The Haunted Mansion.
As a result, I like this pin. I will continue to wish that we had gotten some different poses in the series, but obviously, that was not to be. Still, it’s a fun pin for collectors.
Anything related to The Haunted Mansion always sells out quickly, and this pin was no exception. If you missed it, you’ll have to hunt it down. But if you are a fan of the attraction or collecting this pin series, you’ll be glad you did.
