Those who talk to me often, will know I am trying to be a Phantom Manor completist. And that I was very excited about the new Manor pins released at the DLRP PTE. Especially about one of them; which was a pin I was wanting to be made and they actually made it! But anyhow... today I recieved five of the pins from the event.
This is the pin I was wanting so much;
He happens to be my favourite character in Phantom Manor. Known as Ezra ('cause he looks like Hitchhiker Ezra from Haunted Mansion) he's the Stationmaster/Ticket Seller ghoul of Phantom Canyon (the ghouly/ghosty Western Town scene; Phantom Manor is set in the Old West as its located in Frontierland.) If you'd look at my signature I have a pic of him from the ride. I'm so happy this pin was made! This guy had no pins of him at all; and when he does get one its a PTE! Oddly enough not sure if this specific pin I'm actually keeping as I have another coming; dunno which one I'm gonna keep (it'll depend on the number of the pin, I have OCD ^_^; ). But for now he's in my Pin Bag because... well... EZRA! <3
Now... here's the others; this next one is of one of the skeletons in the Catacombs scene of the ride;
In the ride there's a female skeleton next to him opening the coffin... I always thought this guy seemed a little bothered. Once when I was on the ride it actually stopped at this scene (if I remember correctly).
This was the Suprise PTE;
The Phantom! The main character of the ride along with Melanie (the Bride). He has two forms; this is the form you see him in the most; but right at the end he looks scarier. This is from the scene where he's in the graveyard. The Phantom is the villain of the ride. Very happy they made a pin of the actual Phantom.
The other two pins are the stretching portrait pins;
Tink is playing the role of Melanie in these pins. I now have three of the stretching portraits. Just need to find one more!
Here's how my Phantom Manor page looks now;
Its a start right? Probably will rearrange some of this once I get more pins. Anyhow! I am very happy right now! Thank you to basj for picking these up for me! And curious friends... if you want to know more about the Manor, send a PM. I am very happy to talk about this ride.
Fantastic pins I went to the event so I know how epic and amazing they are. And I agree so made up that they made a pin of the Phantom himself. I was on the ride a couple of hrs before hand and said 'wouldn't it be great if they made a pin of him' and then there he was on the suprise PTE as if I'd ordered it!
The jumbo is also an amazing pin you won't be disapointed when it turns up.
@HiddenMickeys: He's one of my most darling Ezras (other one being Hitchhiker Ezra of course!). So happy there is a pin of him finally. Thank you!
@SyriusLionwing: Thank you! I will be going to DLRP hopefully early next year myself. I hope you get to go on the ride! Its awesome.
@huertajv: Awww. ^_^;
@AmySchweppe: Thanks!
@Eager_Eyes: Yes! I was hoping the surprise pin or jumbo would would have the Phantom on it. They hadn't had him on any pins before so its awesome they made one. Now we need a pin that has Melanie on it. But very happy about the Phantom; he's my second favourite character from the ride.
Congratulations to a fellow Ezra/Mansion collection! We are anxiously awaiting our Phantom Manor pins to arrive since seeing your pictures! I am sending a PM!
