Characters in Stretching Portraits - Goofy on Dynamite - Haunted Mansion

This captivating Open Edition (OE) pin, released in 2009, features Goofy in a humorous interpretation of one of the iconic stretching portraits from Disney's Haunted Mansion attraction. The pin depicts Goofy in a black jacket, white shirt, and white shorts adorned with red hearts, precariously balanced atop a barrel clearly labeled "DANGER DYNAMITE" with a lit fuse. This design directly references the original stretching portrait of the man standing on a barrel of dynamite, with Goofy's heart-patterned shorts being a playful twist on the original's vertical stripes. It is part of the "Haunted Mansion - Characters in Stretching Portraits" series, which includes four pins in total, each reimagining a classic stretching room character with a beloved Disney personality. Goofy, a character known for his good-natured clumsiness, made his debut as Dippy Dawg in "Mickey's Revue" in 1932 and later gained fame through his own series of "How to" cartoons, starting in 1939. The Haunted Mansion attraction itself first opened its doors to guests at Disneyland on August 9, 1969, becoming a cornerstone of Disney Parks' immersive storytelling. Released at Disneyland's O'Pin House event and at Walt Disney World on January 16, 2010, for $7.95, this approximately 1.25-inch wide by 3.25-inch high pin is a cherished collectible, blending the enduring popularity of Goofy with the timeless appeal of the Haunted Mansion.
