Hate Candy Corn? It Hates You Too: Alex Pardee and Kidrobot Partner for Killer Candy Corn Vinyl Toy!
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.

Michael Myers, Oogie Boogie, Krampus, and Universal Monsters Join Mattel’s Upcoming Monster High Lineup
In skelebration of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Mattel has unveiled brand-new Monster High Skullector drops set to arrive over the coming months that include Halloween II‘s Michael Myers, The Nightmare Before Christmas‘s Oogie Boogie, Krampus, and more.
The new arrivals begin today, with a limited drop of Universal Monsters Skullector dolls—featuring Frankenstein’s Monster, The Mummy, and Dracula—available exclusively on Walmart.com for $44 each. If you miss it, don’t worry: the trio arrives in retail stores and rolls out internationally on September 1.
With the Halloween season just around the corner, Monster High is slashing into the spirit with a new Michael Myers doll inspired by Halloween II. Michael Myers’s Monster High makeover is a nod to his hospital showdown with Laurie, complete with a red glitter spattered jumpsuit and tons of spine-chilling Easter egg accessories fans of the film will find totally to die for. Look for this slay queen to launch on August 7.
All Hallows’ Eve brings a holiday treat for fans of Tim Burton and director Henry Selick’s The Nightmare Before Christmas. The burlap sack baddie of Halloween Town gets a Monster High makeover on October 30, featuring neon green fashion with black patchwork-like stitches and a whole lot of buggy details.
The holiday horrors continue with the December 3 launch of a Monster High doll inspired by 2015’s Krampus movie. A deep red velveteen jacket, extra-long chains add eerie movement, and black knee-high boots recreate Krampus’ cloven hooves. You’ll wind up on the naughty list in style with this one.
All upcoming releases are listed on the Mattel Creations website, where fans can keep track of the releases.
