2026 Halloween Horror Nights Collectible Acrylic Carousel Figures: What We Know

Universal Orlando is adding a brand-new collectible series to the Halloween Horror Nights 35 experience, and if you’re a fan of limited-edition merch tied to the event, you’re going to want to pay attention. The resort is releasing a line of collectible acrylic carousel figures for Halloween Horror Nights 2026, designed to build out over the course of the season as new haunted houses are announced.

Quick Summary

• Universal Orlando is releasing collectible acrylic carousel figures for Halloween Horror Nights 35
• Each figure corresponds to a haunted house announcement — collect them as reveals happen
• Figures are designed to display together on an “Infernal Carnival” stand (sold separately)
• The first wave features Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow
• First wave available starting May 1 at Universal Orlando and online at Shop Universal
• More figures tied to future house announcements are planned throughout the HHN season
• Concept follows last year’s stained glass-style acrylic collectible series

How the HHN 35 Carousel Figure Collection Works

The concept is clever and very intentional. Rather than releasing the full collection at once, Universal is tying each new figure to a haunted house announcement. Every time a new house gets revealed for HHN 35, a corresponding collectible figure drops with it. That means the collection builds over time — and if you’re following along with every house announcement, you’re also tracking which figures you still need.

The figures are designed to be displayed together on a special “Infernal Carnival” stand, which will be sold separately. This makes the full set a proper display piece — not just individual collectibles sitting in a drawer, but a unified scene that grows with each addition. It’s a smarter approach to collectible merch than a one-time box set, because it gives fans a reason to stay engaged with the announcement cycle all season long.

The concept echoes last year’s stained glass-style acrylic collectibles for Halloween Horror Nights, which also rolled out in pieces tied to the announcement schedule and could be completed over time. Universal learned that format works — and they’re bringing it back with a new theme.

First Wave: Jack the Clown & Dr. Oddfellow

The first figures to drop are two of HHN’s most iconic characters: Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow. Both icons were already confirmed as returning faces for Halloween Horror Nights 35, so it makes sense that they lead the collectible launch. If you’re going to start a carousel of horror characters, you start with the legends.

The first wave goes on sale May 1 — both at Universal Orlando in person and online through Shop Universal. If you can’t make it to the park right away, the online option means you can grab these before they potentially sell out. Based on how last year’s acrylic series performed, early availability doesn’t always mean easy availability.

More Figures Coming Throughout HHN Season

This is the part that makes the collection genuinely exciting as an ongoing thing to follow. Universal has confirmed that additional figures tied to future house announcements are planned throughout the HHN 35 season. That means as each haunted house gets its official reveal, a new figure will be part of the announcement package.

This creates a strong incentive to keep up with HHN news all summer long — not just for the houses themselves, but for the full picture of what the carousel display will eventually look like. If the full set of HHN 35 houses follows recent trends, you could be looking at 10+ figures total. That’s a significant collection.

How to Get the HHN 2026 Carousel Figures

The first wave hits on May 1, 2026. You can get them two ways:

• In person at Universal Orlando Resort merchandise locations
• Online at Shop Universal (shopuniversal.com)

The Infernal Carnival display stand will also be available for purchase separately — so if you’re planning to build the full set, grab the stand early so you’re ready when subsequent figures release. Future figure drops will be tied to haunted house announcements, so keeping notifications on for Universal’s social channels is how you’ll know when each new one is available.

Add This to Your HHN 35 Must-Have List

Halloween Horror Nights 2026 collectible acrylic carousel figures are exactly the kind of limited-edition merch that HHN fans build traditions around. The build-as-you-go format keeps the season exciting beyond just the haunted houses themselves — every announcement becomes a dual event. Jack and Dr. Oddfellow lead the charge on May 1, and if last year’s acrylic series is any indication, these will move fast. Set a reminder, check Shop Universal on May 1, and start making room on your shelf for the Infernal Carnival.

I’m no stranger to Disney planning, as a Disneyland magic key holder and DVC member. I’m the person people ask for trip planning advice. But I had never been on a Disney cruise, and had heard great about Nate and decided to reach out. I’m so glad I did because we could not have been happier with our experience. His tips and insights were incredibly helpful, and he was incredibly responsive any time we had a question. Who do the Disney experts turn to when they need help? Nate, that’s who.

We’ll definitely be using him again.

Our experience working with Nate as our Disney vacation planner was exceptional. He was responsive and thorough. He gave us insights that made the trip go much more smoothly. We were able to really relax and focus on quality time as a family and have so much fun doing it! I will definitely reach out for any future trips.

Could not have wanted or expected more from Nate, our Distrips and More agent as we planned our 2025 Disney World trip. Nate was VERY responsive to emails and texts and more than willing to do whatever he could to guide us and answer our questions.  On several occasions I emailed him over the weekend not expecting a response until Monday but each time he responded before the weekend was over.  He even participated in a Zoom session with our group of five seniors as we planned our trip. He also helped us at the 11th hour when we added a family member to our travel group less than a month before our trip.  Without a doubt, I will reach out to Nate when I'm ready to plan my next trip to Disney World!

We are so thankful we used Nate to plan not only our first Disney trip, but also our second. He made the process so easy for us, especially for us since it was our first time going. There was a lot to consider and many decisions to make, such as where to stay, when to go, and what to experience. Nate really helped us narrow down what we wanted to do overall, but he didn’t stop there. He provided detailed guides to help us navigate the airport and find our transportation to the resort, as well as a guide to explore the resorts and make sure we saw the best Christmas decorations. One of the many amazing things he also did was set up our dinner reservations for us. This saved us so much stress and allowed us to get some of our top choices. From the moment we landed in Orlando to the moment we headed back home, he made sure everything went smoothly. You truly can’t go wrong with going to him for your next trip.

Nate was absolutely the best planner I have ever had.  Will most definitely be using him again.   He took care of everything and kept me on track.  Was so very helpful in making all the dining reservations and everything.   Can't thank him enough.   He made our trip completely stress free!

Nathan has been an amazing trip planner for me! So helpful and responsive. I am a very type A person -- so someone who is even more on top of their game than me -- is so so appreciated! Nathan has booked 3 trips for me (1 completed 2 pending) and it was perfection. Thanks again!

Nate has helped us with our vacation planning for the last couple of years and we couldn't be happier with his service and expertise. We've used other travel agents in the past and none of them have done as phenomenal a job to make sure every detail is taken care of as he has. Switching to Nate was one of the best decisions we've ever made. He's always quick to answer questions and works tirelessly to make sure we get everything we want from our trips. Plus, he's just a genuinely great person who is wonderful to work with. Whether you're planning a trip to Walt Disney World, Disneyland, a Disney Cruise, or any other vacation, Nate is the guy you want putting it all together! Five stars across the board!
