Also making its debut is the Wild Manes Sugar Crush Carnival Set, priced at $21.97. This playful set includes Candi, a beautifully articulated horse with front limbs perfect for show-stopping carnival performances. The set comes with a wheeled Sugar Crush Carnival cart, complete with fun accessories like popcorn, soda, and carnival tickets. Candi features horseshoe-shaped clips to hold onto her phone and other accessories, and she’s dressed in carnival-ready attire with a gold crown, two hair clips, and a stylish lollipop brush.
