The Haunted Mansion paint job looks great. Love all the details on the building. The bleed through is a bit annoying. Crump is my fave accessory piece. He looks straight from the ride. I'm a fan of the beating heart bride that isn't in the mansion anymore. But Constance looks very cool. Madame Leota looks great but I agree that she is harder to display.
I am a little surprised by the price considering that the pieces are made in resin as Lemax has been doing for several years now! Maybe it's the paint detail?
Thank you for the honest reviews. Love seeing this as no 'real' dealer in this town. I for one, am disappointed with the bleedthrough at that price point.
Thanks for the detailed review! The WDW Haunted Mansion is my very favourite ride. That price though ... that's $480 Canadian. 😮 . But ... i didn't buy the DL Haunted Mansion so .... maybe?
Did you end up getting 2 of each accessory? Or are you just going to rotate them between the 2 haunted mansion sets? I got my first edition too, and my number is 420. Haha I wonder why they didn’t do 666 for the 1st edition run.
I admit i got this, and it really is gorgeous. It looks much better than the Disneyland model. That said, at this price point the bleed through is unforgivable. I also had two where some of the black paint wasn't completely finished. I just kept the second one (they were numbered versions). Department feels it can charge what it can get away with. After this i won't bother with them anymore. But i will keep this
Some of the bleed through doesn’t bother me as it helps light up the bricks of the mansion in the dark as you mentioned, but I think the bleed throu*( at the corners by the front entrance is a bit excessive and should’ve been taken care of for the amount of money this piece costs. Thanks for sharing the bulbs. I usually favor the warm white that gives a more golden glow, but the cool white you have here gives a more ghostly bluish color that maybe fits a haunted building a bit better. Since you mentioned a cue line at the end, will you get the “Visiting the Park” accessory set?
My silas Crump and his dog Figurine came with the lantern detached. It was easy gluing it back, but I am not sure if reattached the right way. Which side of the lantern should face forwards?
@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl I have done that but still not sure. Yours on the video looks like a double strand at the point where the cable light gets in the lantern but mine doesn't have that. It's a pity I can't upload a photo here.
I was so excited to see the several videos at once! Thanks for showing us all the cool pieces!
Glad you like them!

Agree with everything you’ve said!!
Thanks for keeping the videos coming. Always look forward to them.
You bet!

Trust me when I say this is not Lemax quality-no comparison!
Hey Carl , which one you think it’s best this new mansion or previous?
@MrZACATECANO100 I like them both-I personally a bigger fan of the Disneyland since it’s the original, but I absolutely love the Disney World one!!

Glad it was helpful!

Yep-for me a must have! My favorite ride as well!

Haha-no I only purchased one set for now-may change my mind later!

I hear ya-my bleed through is not too noticeable.
The bleed through adds a lot to the piece I think. Looks great
I’m more ok with it than I thought-love it as well!

Good points all around! Yes, I have it-it’ll be in my next round of reviews!
Are you going to make a display for this or just substitute this mansion with the Disneyland display you already built?
I’ll eventually be making a new display for this!
I bought Silas and I love it. Love that it lights up
Good deal-he’s a must have!!!
Pretty sweet. Huge Disney and haunted mansion fan. To bad we’ll probably never seen it in Canada
Can’t you just order from the states??
Note... ???? $300+ Bleed through paint. The Hallmark tree topper version does so much more for $149

Perhaps look at the picture on the box or online.

Yeah, I’m not sure. If you’re unsure, I suppose you could always return it and get another one.
Thanks!
Where can I purchase al these items? I couldn’t find it at my local Michael’s store.
These are not Leamx, they’re Dept 56. Look online for Dept 56 Haunted Mansion and they’ll all come up-perhaps even on Amazon.
Understood. Thank you!
@CorrilloRiders you bet!!
Does the mansion make any sound effects?
Negative-no sound!
@@HalloweenVillagesbyCarl ugh 😩! Oh well
Hallmarks version of this was just a little better
