As you can see, the Haunted Mansion pales in comparison to the Mini Disney Castle, which has plenty of display presence from its height, and more vibrant and magical colour scheme.

Mini Palace of Agrabah is available exclusively from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store. It’s a great set to trigger the upcoming 40659 Mini Steamboat Willie GWP which will be available from 23 October onwards.

A great gift idea for ages 12 and up, this 567-piece building set makes a unique addition to any Disney collection. It’s the second mini Disneyland attraction at this scale, and apart from the very clunky name (why couldn’t they just call this the Mini Haunted Mansion), marks an exciting signal that LEGO are beginning a cycle of these pint-sized Disneyland attractions that suggest a yearly release.

Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion goes on sale on 1 August 2022 from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store. I also suspect that it’ll be available in the gift shops at Disneyland, or at the LEGO Store in Disneyland. To better fit the Disney Princess theme, I also would’ve liked a Jasmine, Aladdin or Sultan minidoll, but nope. It just seems like LEGO forgot to put one in. While the Mini Palace of Agrabah is housed within the Disney Princess theme, which is a little odd to begin with, LEGO really missed an opportunity to include a Sultan minifigure, or even Aladdin dressed as Prince Ali.The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. The Completed Model With Walt Disney World’s (and Tokyo Disneyland’s) Cinderella’s Castle, then Disneyland’s Haunted Mansion, I believed the door was open to fans, having access to future Park Icons / Attractions…so this Set is jarring, especially, without an exclusive Minifigure. Odd! The set, like the Mini Disney Castle comes with an exclusive minifigure the Butler, which is a great companion to the build. I’d just remove both tiles during the build, or else you’ll have a hard time accessing them after – you literally have to break the castle to retrieve them.

The facade and front entrance, is the most recognisable and aesthetically pleasing part of the build, emphasised by these 4 white columns. I also like the dark orange base, which contrasts nicely against the sand green and white. Mini Palace of Agrabah is a wonderful addition to the series of mini Disney landmarks, and I think is a worthy rival to the incredible Mini Disney Castle.The architecture and design, inspired by neoclassical manors, and plantation manors that you’d expect from the American South is captured really nicely here. It’s been a huge year for Disney fans, with LEGO pulling out all the stops to celebrate Disney’s 100th anniversary, and die-hard Disney devotees have been spoilt for choice. Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion will be released on 1 August 2022, and will be available from LEGO.com or your local LEGO Store.

Measuring over 8 in. (21 cm) high, 5.5 in. (14 cm) wide and 5.5 in. (13 cm) deep, this LEGO® | Disney Mini Disney Castle makes a striking display piece standing on a mantelpiece or shelf in your home or office. With The Haunted Mansion being recreated as a micro-scale building, it has some interesting details, which are achieved in quite simple ways. Single 1×1 elements can be a little fiddly to place especially when there are many to add, but they do create a great-looking set. It is a little compact, which does mean some of the detail is masked, especially the inner part of the building, which is a little lost behind the sand green window plates. But overall the set manages to capture the overall appearance of the iconic facade of The Haunted Mansions ride.

Coolness [3] – A great slice of Aladdin in microscale, however a minifigure would’ve made this way cooler For someone like myself who has never been to Disneyland, or the Haunted Mansion, it just doesn’t create enough wow-factor to recommend the set, to anyone that isn’t already a massive fan. I’ll still be very happy with my Mini Disney Castle, even as a standalone set, and can’t see this having a long shelf-life.
