As Halloween spirit sweeps the globe, Haunted Mansion fans have a new reason to rejoice. Toy behemoth, Funko, as part of its Funkoween festivities, unveiled a fresh batch of Haunted Mansion figurines, drawing inspiration from the recent movie featuring Rosario Dawson.
Dive into the Eerie World of Haunted Mansion
The novel collection comprises vinyl figurines that capture the essence of iconic characters from the Haunted Mansion universe. You’ll find the Hatbox Ghost, a prominent figure, standing tall at about 4.2 inches, ensconced in its unique display box. Equally enchanting is Gus, presented in his notable prisoner attire, with a height of 3.9 inches. Then there’s Madam Leota, exuding majesty in her crème ensemble and grand headgear, reaching a height of 4.75 inches. Likewise, Phineas, the hitchhiking ghost, stands with Madam Leota’s height, donning a classic suit, a hat, and clutching a briefcase. These eerie yet enthralling figurines beckon fans to enhance their collections with a ghostly touch.
The Haunted Mansion universe doesn’t end with these collectibles. Disney’s newest creation spins a tale of Gabbie (Dawson), a solo mother from the bustling streets of New York. In pursuit of a fresh start, she relocates to New Orleans with her son, with visions of inaugurating a bed and breakfast. But destiny has other plans. Their chosen abode reveals a haunted history, teeming with spirits. To reclaim her home, Gabbie musters a motley crew of specialists – a psychic, two college professors, and more.
“Haunted Mansion” – A Box Office Conundrum
Despite its rich narrative and vibrant character lineup, “Haunted Mansion“, orchestrated by Justin Simien and penned by Katie Dippold, couldn’t capture box office magic. Nevertheless, hope remains with its new digital and home releases. Raking in a worldwide collection of $114.4 million, it boasts an audience score of 84 percent. Its authentic portrayal of the original ride and commendable performances earned it praise. With young enthusiasts and families as its target, the movie promises wholesome entertainment.
The film’s star-studded cast includes talents such as LaKeith Stanfield as Ben Matthias, Owen Wilson as Father Kent, Tiffany Haddish, Danny DeVito, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jared Leto, and more. Not to be missed are the guest appearances by Hasan Minhaj, Daniel Levy, and Winona Ryder.
