Disney Haunted Mansion pocketwatch vinylmation LE Hard to Find

Description

Disney Haunted Mansion vinylmation set
The Haunted Mansion pocket watch and 3″ figure was released on a Friday the 13th many many years ago. Designed by Caley Hicks, this set has an LE of 750. The set includes a 3″ figure that features the tombstone of Trebor Llewe, a tribute to WED Imagineer Robert Sewell. This tomb can be found inside the graveyard scene. Bob Sewell joined WED after Disneyland opened in 1955. Sewell was in charge of show installations at the park, and he was head of the Model Shop at WED for most of his years at Disney until his retirement in 1981.
The head of the Vinylmation portrays one of those pop-up ghost heads inside the graveyard scene that appear above some tombstones.
It is painted with a gritty, glow in the dark paint (same as used on various previous vinyls) that looks terrific in the dark. The ears are clear with some purple paint that match the arms, both of which compliment the figure well.
The back is a simple backside of tombstone and clear head. The clear head allowing light to enter and gives the face a nice bright, light up effect.
Caley Hicks did a wonderful job capturing a Haunted Mansion tombstone for the figure, but for the watch, she chose a different mansion icon to portray. The face of the grandfather clock was used to make this amazing timepiece. This clock face awaits guests in the hallway of the Haunted Mansion.
With a push of a button at the top of the watch, the door pops open for a closer look at the clock. Caley designed it with the same pattern found on the original… a 13 in place of the 12 and of course the creepy figures that swing around keeping the time. It is designed with precision and both the figure and watch seem produced with great care.
The watch as a stand it fits upon and the figure has an indentation it sits in. The background is a nicely drawn graveyard scene. Excellent condition. There is some smudge on the paper on back of box and due to tight fit, not visible when acrylic top is on base. This is normal. The stand for the pocket watch had a crack and was seamlessly glued. The watch will need a battery but I can’t figure out how to open it. The vinyl figure is mint.
This is sold as is and from a smoke and pet free home. Never used, no outer box. In display cabinet with no light or direct sunlight.
