Dueling Ghosts - Haunted Mansion Collectors Set (Magic Kingdom)

This captivating Disney pin features the iconic Dueling Ghosts from the beloved Haunted Mansion attraction at Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom. The pin visually depicts two distinguished gentlemen in top hats and formal coats, facing away from each other in a classic dueling stance, each holding a pistol. These spectral figures are a memorable part of the Haunted Mansion's grand ballroom scene, where their ghostly apparitions emerge from portraits to endlessly reenact their fatal encounter. The Haunted Mansion itself opened on October 1, 1971, as an original attraction in Liberty Square at Magic Kingdom, known for its distinctive Colonial-style brick exterior, which differs from its Disneyland counterpart. Released in 2008, this pin is a part of the "Haunted Mansion Collectors Set (Magic Kingdom)" series, celebrating the enduring charm and lore of the attraction. The artwork for this specific pin was crafted by Garret Webb from Disney Design Group. As a Limited Edition (LE) of 1000, it is a highly sought-after piece for collectors, valued for its specific edition size, its portrayal of iconic characters, and its association with one of Disney's most popular dark rides. The Dueling Ghosts embody a classic tale of unresolved conflict within the mansion's narrative, sometimes unofficially named Etienne Lalaurie and Antoine Germaine, who reportedly dueled over Madame Leota.
