Gus - Haunted Mansion Collectors Set (Disneyland)

This highly collectible pin features Gus, one of the iconic Hitchhiking Ghosts from the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction at Disneyland Resort. Gus is instantly recognizable with his white hair and beard, light blue tunic, and the distinctive ball and chain shackled to his ankle, which functions as a dangle element on the pin. The Haunted Mansion, a classic dark ride, first opened its gates at Disneyland in 1969, introducing guests to 999 happy haunts, including the mischievous trio of Gus, Ezra, and Phineas, who famously try to hitch a ride at the end of the attraction. This particular pin was released in 2008 as part of the extensive "Haunted Mansion Collectors Set (Disneyland)", a series comprising 10 unique pins. With a Limited Edition (LE) size of only 1000, this pin is considered a desirable piece among Disney pin collectors due to its scarcity and the enduring popularity of the Haunted Mansion and its memorable characters. Collectors especially appreciate pins that capture the essence of classic attractions and characters like Gus, making this a sought-after item.
