Every single Halloween season, the same conversation about one of the holiday’s most popular treats rears its ugly head. Candy corn: is it delicious or is it a tri-colored abomination?
That’s all up to personal taste, of course, but one thing we can say for certain is that in artist Alex Pardee‘s world, candy corn is most definitely a nasty little abomination.
Meet Cornelius, a twisted candy corn creation that was originally part of Pardee’s line of “Candemons” vinyl pins and has now been turned into a vinyl art toy by Kidrobot!
The limited edition toy asks the question, “What if candy corn has feelings? And what if its feelings are hurt? And what if it’s angry? And what if it were to sprout sharp teeth and come to life and stalk you around your living room, praying for you to trip and fall so that it could eat you alive as payback for your awful jokes at its expense?”
Cornelius, Kidrobot explains, is “the manifestation of every candy corn joke, soured and twisted inward and evolved into a grotesque, fanged and bloodthirsty beast!”
The toy stands approximately 7.5″ tall. The Melty Metallic Kidrobot.com Exclusive is limited to 250 pieces worldwide. It’s available October 8, 2019 at 9am PST, only at Kidrobot.com.
You can bring Cornelius home for $65.
