An Inflatable Kool-Aid Man Costume: Oh Yeah!

Halloween is less than eight weeks away, so it’s never too early to get your costume figured out. If you’re ready to bust through some walls and scare your neighbors this year, I highly recommend this inflatable Kool-Aid Man costume. Put it on, and you’ll instantly become a 50-gallon pitcher full of high-energy, artificially colored, cherry-flavored drink!

The officially licensed costume inflates with the push of a button, and since it fills up with air instead of actual Kool-Aid, you’re unlikely to drown inside of this thing. It’s big enough for adults and has a place for you to look out of its nose, so you don’t bump into any walls except for the ones that you really meant to. Now I don’t recommend crashing into any brick walls because you’re likely to break something, but if you want to have some fun, styrofoam blocks or sheets of Foamcore are always an option.

The Kool-Aid Man Inflatable costume is available from Vat19 for $129.99 (USD). Buy two and have a Kool-Aid Man sumo wrestling match with your friend!

Here Comes the Kool-Aid Man Funko POP! Figure!

A while back we found out that Funko was readying a new POP! figure based on the iconic Kool-Aid Man, but all we had was a terrible placeholder illustration of the character. Now, the actual figure is starting to turn up, and it looks awesome.

The rotund kids’ drink mascot is perfect in Funko POP! form, his pitcher body filled up with fruity red drink and ice cubes brimming over the top of his head. He looks all ready to bust down the wall bring a cool treat to your other POP! figures and exclaim his classic “OH YEAH!” catchphrase.

You can pre-order the Kool-Aid Man Funko POP! figure from Amazon or Entertainment Earth for $10.99. It’s supposed to ship any day now.

Kool-Aid Man POP! Figure Coming Soon: OHHH YEAH!

Growing up, at least every other time someone in my circle of friends drank Kool-Aid, they would run face first into the wall yelling “OH YEAH!” We were never able to bust through any walls, but that didn’t stop us from trying and incurring mom wrath on the regular. Funko has a new Kool-Aid man POP! vinyl figure in the works that you can toss at your wall all you want. I don’t see it busting through either.

The toy will launch in July and will sell for $10.99. You can pre-order yours now on Entertainment Earth. Thinking about this also made me nostalgic for some of those vintage commercials, so check out a compilation below.
