Cookie Angel Dragon Suits ?
All the preordered suits have been shipped! Thank you so much to those who ordered this sweet character. Did you miss the preorder? Don’t worry, you can always order one to be made just for you here!
Dino Vests ?
Production is finalizing the sample Dino Vest for approval before they start mass production. We have cut ties with the original production partner for this product, so we requested our new production line create a prototype for us before we move forward. We want to make sure everything is just right for you, so we appreciate your patience! We expect that once the prototype has been approved, creation will go fairly quickly.
AB Cribs- Extended Preorder Window ?
We’re extending the preorder window by a few extra days!We’re still waiting to receive the finalized print sample that many of you are hoping to see on your inflatable crib. To give everyone a little more time, we’re extending the preorder window through October 12. We’re also getting very close to the goal we need to move forward with the lower preorder price, so we hope this extension helps anyone who is still considering placing an order. Thank you so much for your patience and support!

Behind the Scenes
Why should you choose us for your inflatable needs?
We’ve had a lot of people ask us over the last few years why they should choose to work with us when ordering inflatable suits. After all, isn’t it just easier to buy something directly from a factory?
Well.. there’s a lot more included when you use Candy Coated for your inflatable needs. When you purchase from us, you are also purchasing over 23 years of experience. The idea of Candy Coated began back in 2003 when Whaleman first was introduced to the world, and we’ve learned so much in the over two decades and more than 4000 inflatable suits we’ve created.
We not only make and sell these products but also use them daily in our personal lives, so we know what it takes to make a well-fitting and fun product that is also safe and durable. Each suit goes through a three-stage quality control process, which is another thing that sets apart from other shopping sources. By testing each suit in three different stages, it allows to make sure that there aren’t any weak points or safety issues before they are shipped out. And if you have an emergency and have to cut yourself out of the suit, we will fix it free of charge! Safety is key when playing with these suits, and we don’t want you to hesitate to keep yourself safe.
?Did you know...
Did you know that we use real artists for our designs?
We all know that AI is really taking hold in the world, but we refuse to let it replace the creativity of real artists when it comes to our suit designs. We have several artists who we pay commissions to for their designs which we can then bring to life. So far, we’ve paid out over $28,000 to our artists!
The only time we use AI in our business is when we are touching up photos to make product pictures clearer or, in one case, to create a cartoon version of our already existing suits for a “just for fun” project. We believe that Candy Coated should work hand-in-hand with the Community!
