The actual clock does have eyes on it's tail.
Wow @Kira Nerys just lost some major Haunted Mansion nerd cred.
With that said the eyes on the collectible are way too big, cartoony and look nothing like the ones on the clock in the attraction.

Uhh...
I don't exactly consider those eyes. It's totally inconsistent with the statue, which has big cartoon eyes. Also, the eyes aren't really noticeable to me in proper lighting. No flash pictures...

Definitely not easy to catch especially in the dark. I wouldn't expect the lay rider to notice but I would expect Mr. Mansion to notice. I can see that they re definitely eyes in the picture that @phruby attached. The tail is basically a devils face with horns.
I'm going to need a new YouTube video from you highlighting the clock tail and how you learned something new about the Mansion after riding 23,437 times. If anything it proves how great the attraction is. That you could still find something new after so many rides.

Regardless of whether or not the thing has eyes on the tail, that Disney model that they're trying to sell looks nothing like the one in the ride.
The top half looks pretty good except for the actual clock face.

For the scale of it, they are trying to highlight a small detail with artistic license. The model is not the same as the real thing. However, it should have been based on the price.

Every picture I've found of the clock (model or real) shows the eyes on the tail. It's very charming and a major feature of the clock. Heck even this guy caught the detail on his tattoo.

The devil's in the details. What you see as a devil face, I see as a devil tail. I guess it can be both, but I see this is an obvious misinterpretation as far as the statue goes. It is off model. A tail would wag back and forth like that thing. A face wouldn't! You know I'm right, but I also think Mansion is open for interpretation. Like the Nexus in Star Trek: Generations, it's whatever you want it to be.
By the way, how dare all of you.

This may not be at the Disneyland Resort, but Van Eaton Galleries has an auction coming up, with most of the stuff on exhibit:

They do these every so often, and always have tons of great stuff. Any Disney collectors nearby should check it out.

I live about 10 minutes away from them. I was at the auction where they sold the people mover and Skyway bucket ride vehicles. They have some great stuff. Unfortunately all the stuff I like ( like the old silk screened attraction posters that hung in the park) are a little too expensive for my pockets (Hey @TP2000 could you buy me the Fuzzball AA from Captain EO currently listed at 50k if I pay you back on lay away?
Then I’m also turned off by all of the smaller, more affordable items because I ve seen literally some of the same things being sold on eBay for 1/10 of the price or less.

could that clock be modeled after original concept art for the museum of the weird?
maybe someone knows where we could find some old concept art. i remember seeing the concept art on display once in the old gallery above Pirates and almost every item of the museum of the weird idea had faces with eyes on them. the Marc Davis concept art if i remember was much more comical than what ended up being built. i remember one of the hitchhiking ghosts looking like a fat comical "ITT" from the Adams family

Coco Jarritos (Jugs) were sold out when I visited today. Bummer.
For anyone interested... a new Disneyland / WDW exclusive Enchanted Tiki Room Funko pop. So far I only have one... the abominable snowman but I love collecting anything Disneyland specific.
