Disney's Haunted Mansion Hitchhiking Ghost Figures - Super 7

 Beware of Hitchhiking Ghosts!

 

Originally intended to be a San Diego Comic Con exclusive this year, Super 7 released a boxed set of ReAction figures based on the famous trio of specters. As with the SDCC exclusive Tron figure, I was easily able to get these guys into my home. I really would have felt I missed out had these only been available at the con.

The box itself is a work of art and I have no problem displaying them this way. The trim and bats are glossy on a matte background so they're only visible when the light hits it just right. I love that Leota is also featured up there on the top.

Ezra has always been my favorite of the group because he's somewhat skeletal in appearance. This incarnation seems to be channeling Rev. Kane from Poltergeist 2. It looks like he's wearing a pair of slippers instead of some kind of shoe. Hey, I'm not going to fault him for his footwear choice. Once you're dead, who cares about fashion? It's all about comfort.

Speaking of fashion, each figure comes with an accessory and Ezra's is his hat. You can't see it in this photo but his left hand has the pinkie extended. He's fancy like that.

Next up is Phineas. His hat isn't removable but if it was, you might mistake him for a substitute teacher. His travel bag...this is my one gripe with the set. That thing is a huge pain to get into his hand!

And lastly we have ol' Gus with his ball and chain. It's not removable and it's a bit of a pain to get it to balance. Depending on which incarnation you reference, some are holding the ball and some hold the chain with the ball hanging down.

This is a great set and I highly recommend it if you're a Mansion maniac. It's way better than the set that was sold in the parks years ago. They're still available at Sideshow for $60. It might seem like a lot, but when you consider individual ReAction figures are currently retailing around $18, it's not. Now if they could just make a scale Doombuggy!
