Guest of Honour 2025 - Candy Coated / Whaleman
Well, it's our second year, and with the Guest of Honour being YOU in 2024, in 2025 we wanted to bring someone over who has been a key supporter of Pawsome, and sadly they could not physically make the 2024 event, supplied, paid for shipping/customs and pretty much made the inflatable suit event such a huge success. We're pleased to announce that Candy Coated, with Mr C (otherwise known as Whaleman) and his partner, Mrs C. are our guest of honour for 2025!
Who Is Candy Coated?
Candy Coated have been around for quite some time, and while US-based in Huntsville, Alabama, have a huge presence around the world, and are famous for PVC inflatable critter suits, inflatable toys, accessories and more recently inflatable latex critter suits and toys. You will see their suits around USA furry conventions, however sadly the UK and European furry conventions do not allow any inflatable suits or toys in the convention space and are limited to private rooms and events.
You can find their main website here, along with their public social channels BlueSky and X/Twitter please check our their fantastic creations and see if you want to bounce around Pawsome as an inflatable skunk (yay!) or wolf, blueberry, hyena or dragon for starters. Below is a small gallery of some of their most famous creations, but for videos and much more, head to their links above.
Their Plans For Pawsome
At Pawsome, we believe that freedom of expression of your inner critter is important, whether hollow, filled with fluff, flesh, covered in or made of PVC, latex or fur, which is a philosophy that both CC and Pawsome share and we were proud to be the first EU/UK furry convention to allow these suits around the convention and even host a huge event where anyone could rock up and try one on and be around them, turning into our 3rd most popular event in 2024!
Whaleman will be bringing over as many suits and toys as customs and shipping will allow, and have kindly agreed to run the flagship inflatable suit & toy event in our biggest function space, and have a stall in the dealers den to sell some of the most popular items. However due to space and shipping, stocks may be limited, so a click&collect service may be offered leading up to the convention, stay tuned on our social channels, links HERE, to find out when key dates are announced.
