How long before those bubbles showed up Sam? I just checked ours non of them have air in them. Some are a couple of years old.

 

[GrueSam]

Just wait.

Some are made better than others, obviously, and it takes longer. But all of ours got air.
The water eventually gets cloudy and icky too, anyways...

So no more globes for me.

 

[Silent December]

damn that sucks to hear. Oh well, I guess we'll enjoy them while they last.

I worked in a store that sold snow globes and bubbles and icky water were big problems. That's why I never buy snowglobes. It's too bad because there are some really awesome snow globes. But then, they are nice while they last. I guess you just have to be willing to part with them.

Just wanted to say that I went to Disney for the wifes birthday and it was great. We got on the mansion 3 times. Want to take the key to the kingdom tour on saturday so I can go inside the mansion. Love it!

Let us know how you like KttK, I'm doing it in January.

Thanks to Agent0028 for reminding me. There is a set of 40th Anniversary Haunted Mansion figures that has been released. I have only seen Gus at the Under $10 Store at Downtown Disney. He told me he saw two of the Hitchhiking Ghost, the Bride, and the Caretaker at Leota's Cart.

 

[GrueSam]

What do they look like?
Are they better than the figures from, like, 3 years ago in the large square boxes?

 

[Aerosmith]

Gus looked to be from the same mold. Just cast in clear blue plastic. I'll see if I can find some pics.

Here's what I could find on eBay

I believe they are $7.95 each at the Parks.

Very cool page...... But it's so hard to read! So TINY.....

But the Hat Box Ghost is TOO cool!


Those are the same damn figures! Bummer!

All of them are exactly the same from a few years ago except the bride is new, she had a blue face and hands before. I picked up a set of them at the World of Disney store in Downtown Disney two weeks ago. They also had some cool shirts on the cart outside the Mansion. I'll post some pics tonight

Yeah! And rumor has it he'll make his return in January!
And if anyone wants to know more about the Hatbox Ghost, check out my little site dedicated to him:

Enjoy!

Thanks for posting that here Aerosmith, I don't know why I didn't think to do it. They're not great, but they aren't bad for eight bucks.

 

[Aerosmith]

No problem, and thanks for messaging me about them. Im probably going to get Ezra, Phineas, and Gus for my car.

 

[Agent0028]

Awesome. I have the bobbleheads for my car, but I need to get a piece of wood to glue them to so they don't fall and get broken. I may get these for my desk at work.

 

[Murderofcrows71]

here's some of the stuff I picked up while I was there in Florida, two years ago I picked up all three of the large light up hitchhiking ghosts statues. This year it was mostly small stuff.

The galley of light box:

Haunted Mansion Game of After-Life (Life)

T-shirts at the Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween

Ezra Dobbins bobblehead

And a few misc. items. playing cards, Disney Racer Hitchhiking Ghost car, the rerelase of the figures without the glow in the dark paint and the bride with a white shawl covering hers, and the collectible figure set with Ezra

 

[GrueSam]

I really wish I had that HHG light box...
But it reminds me that I need to pick up the new Jim Shore piece. I really love it!



Love the HBG website, EO- very cool!
