Oh, Internet! I’m so glad to be back! And with something as exquisite as this next piece. Kevin Kidney and Jody Daily really outdid themselves with the Conservatory Coffin.
I’m in love with this piece, which is so appropriate with Valentine’s Day around the corner. Seriously. I love to hold this coffin in my hand, and run my fingers across the tiny details of the molding, the claw feet, the tassels. The tiny magnetic candle holders push me over the edge, though. You can remove them and set them next to the coffin, or put them on the coffin and feel that pull of the magnet lock them into place. Its the most delightful quality to this limited edition collectible. The coffin offers an eery green glow with the touch of a switch, and with the turn of the key, the hands push the coffin lid up and down ever so slowly. If you didn’t get your bony fingers on this piece at the Haunted Mansion 40th event in 2009, then have fun bidding for it on eekbay.
Oh, and Internet, don’t be hating the dusty outline of candlesticks on the coffin lid. I’m just keepin’ it real.
