The Full Take
Vidiyo had a rough run: the app is gone, the concept never clicked, and most of the line got clearanced into obscurity. But Candy Mermaid BeatBox quietly holds up on its own terms. The color palette is unreal — pastels and neons that don't show up together like this anywhere else in the catalog. At $19.99 it was a fair ask on release, and with the line discontinued, secondary market prices have crept up in ways most people didn't predict. The minifig alone is a display piece; she'd look at home in any pastel shelf vignette. If you missed it at retail, it's still findable — but the window on easy scores is closing.
