I'm also eating the "candy" now. It's far too sugary for kids so I will have to say this product is not suitable for them, only collectors (adults) should eat this.

Here's what I said in the email:
I have found packets of sweets on sale marked as being under the Universe sub-line containing single repackaged (and mostly redecoed, i think) Woolworth's (UK) / K-mart (US)exclusive mini-cons from the 2009 Universe 12 pack.
All 12 are available; I got Brimstone in a slightly different paint scheme: the mustard yellow is replaced with bright green and the dark green replaced with a lighter shade. this seems contrary to the packaging, which at first glance appears to show all 12 mini-cons in their original paint schemes but on closer inspection does show subtle differences to the original releases.
For those in the UK who are interested, this assortment seems to be UK exclusive as the packet states "confectionery made in the UK" and as far as I know is only available in Tesco service stations (that's where I found mine). The item was priced as £1.99 and contained s handful of sweets as well as the mini-con (I got 4 cola bottles).
(I will post images as soon as I can as the news submission form contains no facility to attach images.)
also the packet shows a 2010 trademark, so it's new.it also says "manufactured by The Little Factory under license from hasbro" does this mean theyre not made by hasbro? there is a hasbro logo on the packet.

here's the pics:
i've included a comparison shot with the original 12 pack brimstone. as you can see the yellow's gone and you can just make out the green on thw wings and arms is different. i dont know about any of the other figures being different paint schemes as the package shows them as they were originally.
there is no mold degradation as far as I can tell with this figure. the legs are loose at the knees but otherwise everything's solid. the wings actually appear to have more positive ratcheting (is that what you call it?) / notched jointing than the original but that might be because i've worn mine out, i'm not sure.
