Today, the Disney Parks Blog is hosting a surprise celebration in honor of halfway to Halloween. The daylong event is being celebrated with the blog releasing fun videos, crafts, recipes and more, but perhaps the most exciting thing to be released thus far is a “shriek peek” at new spooky products coming to shopDisney.com, the Disney Parks and other retailers later this year.
For fans of Disney’s The Haunted Mansion, the Disney Parks Blog unveiled two new bags and a card case by Loungefly. The first bag is a Doom Buggy-inspired crossbody bag featuring the mansion’s infamous hitchhiking ghosts. The second bag is a mini backpack inspired by the look of the female Cast Members who work the attraction at the Disney parks.
For Funko Pop! fans the Disney Parks Blog unveiled four new Haunted Mansion figures. The first figure unveiled is a Funko Pop! of the organist from The Haunted Mansion. The pop is a Disney exclusive and will be available at Disney Parks and through shopDisney.
Two new Pop! figures inspired by the stretching portraits in the haunted mansion were also unveiled. Soon fans of the classic Disney attraction will be able to purchase Pop! figures of Alexander Nitrokoff and Constance Hatchaway. The standard Pop! features the characters in their initial portrait state, but limited edition chase variants are also being released featuring each character in their “stretched” pose.
These new Pop! figures are due to be released this September. Both figures will be headed to shopDisney.com soon and are currently available for pre-order through Entertainment Earth at the links below:
- Haunted Mansion Portraits Alexander Pop! Vinyl Figure
- Haunted Mansion Portraits Constance Pop! Vinyl Figure
Disney also unveiled a new Pop! figure inspired by the costume female cast members wear while working the attraction. The Haunted Mansion Maid Pop! will arrive on shopDisney.com soon, and is currently available for pre-order through Entertainment Earth.
Finally, the Disney Parks blog unveiled some of the spooky Disney-themed games coming to retailers later this year. We of course already knew about Hocus Pocus: The Game and The Haunted Mansion: Call of the Spirits game, but they also unveiled a new The Nightmare Before Christmas Funkoverse Strategy Game, which is due to be released this fall.
The above are some of the highlights I think All Hallows Geek readers would be most interested in, but to check out everything that was unveiled be sure to check out the #Halfway2Halloween shriek peek over at the Disney Parks Blog.
*This blog post was updated to include details around the Pop! figure release dates and their current pre-order availability.
