Haunted Mansion Singing Bust (with 'XVI' on chest) - Disney Parks 2023 Mystery Pin Collection

This pin features a stylized, undead character from the iconic Haunted Mansion attraction, specifically designed for the Hocus Pocus 30th Anniversary Mystery Pin Collection released in 2023. The pin depicts a singing bust character with the Roman numeral 'XVI' inscribed on its chest, capturing the macabre yet whimsical aesthetic of the Haunted Mansion’s graveyard scene. While the Haunted Mansion opened at Disneyland Resort in 1969, this pin ties into the cult classic film Hocus Pocus, which celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2023. As part of a mystery set available at both Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World, this pin functions as an Open Edition release, making it accessible to fans of both the attraction and the film. The design utilizes a unique, slightly grotesque art style that distinguishes it from more traditional character pins. Collectors value this piece for its clever crossover appeal, blending the spooky atmosphere of the Haunted Mansion with the beloved lore of the Sanderson Sisters' world. The character’s inclusion in this collection highlights the clever Imagineering-inspired aesthetic that often permeates Disney’s mystery pin sets. Whether you are a dedicated Haunted Mansion enthusiast or a fan of the 1993 Hocus Pocus film, this pin serves as a fun, thematic addition to any collection. Its distinct 'XVI' detail acts as a specific identifier that makes it a standout piece within the broader mystery series.
