Torn between Gloppy and Plumpy. Would challenge Lord Licorice to a duel.

I don't even remember Candyland having characters, and definitely not those. Did I play some off-brand version of Candyland or am I just old or what?

i don't remember it either :(

me too!

like i think if i saw Lord Licorice before I would remember

dell! you're back! so awesome!

My neighbor Melody, when I was five, always stacked the deck so she'd get the Queen Frostine card, which puts you the farthest ahead. She refused to play unless she got to shuffle the cards & she'd end up with Queen Frostine every time. It was just ridiculous.

Let it go, dude.

Her hair is see-through.

Polar Bears' hair is see-through, I believe.

hiya there y'all!

Weirdly I never played this game when I was growing up

I think it's funny that they changed the molasses monster into the melting chocolate monster, like I guess the thinking is that molasses is just too obscure for today's kids?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Write-in for the old school Neapolitan Ice Cream Floats.

characters in candyland, wtf

get off my lawn

Ha ha. Yeah. The (characterless) board that Jenny posted above is the one I remember, so I don't know WTF you youngsters are even talking about.

This poll was inspired by recently playing a version of the game from circa 2003 or so, I think? It says something on the box to the effect of "now featuring the colorful characters of Candy Land!"

Anyhow, I wish I had been able to find better images of the characters online. The ones I posted here don't quite do justice to the artwork on the board on which I was playing. For example, on the version that I was huddled over, Gloppy was not standing upright but was rather this practically limbless, Jabba the Hut-like hulking mass of melted chocolate pudding Cosby icepop. The various other members of the sugared aristocracy also looked many times over more sinister than they do in the images posted upthread. It seems that they've been somewhat sanitized and defanged in later versions, something like the makeover of McDonaldland characters over time...

in the version I saw, they all looked like they wanted to kidnap children and eat them or turn one into confectionary, unlike the neutered Mac and Me renditions upthread that just wanna make friends

Can't not vote for Gramma Nut.

it's like niche porn

we got yer MIlF's, yr standard barbie blondes, heck, even something for the furries...

something like the makeover of McDonaldland characters over time...

Mention of said makeover can never be made enough. NEVER FORGET

(Totally straying off topic here, but why would anyone ever think that that hideous hobgoblin would help sell hamburgers? He looks like someone who'd touch your son wrong in the McDonald's restroom.)

And his dick is long, red and spotted.

And Ronald McDonald doesn't??!!

I know what you mean, though...

That mouth is begging for goatse hands.

lol at the kind of mind that kind of idea "just pops into"
j/k

I mean look at what popped into my mind

Why would they change "Queen Frostine" which has a pleasant rhyme to "Princess Frostine" which is grating and unwieldy on the tongue? Imbeciles.

This also reminds me of that time on MST3K when they met the space children and played Candyland with them. "Molasses Swamp! My own personal hell!"

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

This is just how I expected things to go down

I'm happy.
