What is a Candy Hander?
The Candy Handers developed by CAP toys are motorized dispensers for various candies. The two Candy Handers released in 1998 featured Warner Brothers’ Wile E. Coyote and Marvin the Martian. When a button is pushed, the character, who holds a shovel-shaped implement, turns to an opening in the dispenser to retrieve the waiting candy brick. In Wile’s case, the opening is in a mountain tunnel; in Marvin’s case, the opening is in his space ship. A third PEZ Candy Hander, Jar-Jar Binks (from the Star Wars movie Episode I) was released in late 1999.
