I’ve heard mixed things and nothing definitive. Some people claim to have gotten one this year (or more often claim a friend/guild member got one) others say they know for a fact they don’t drop any more but haven’t provided a source.
But given how absurdly low the drop rate is I think you’ve got a better chance of getting one by selling the bags, buying candy corn and buying it from the vendor. Even at the crazy price of 110 cobs it’ll probably take less farming that way.

Ive been pretty lucky so far, ive opened 7000 bags so far and found:
1 phospholuminescent
3 oontz green
2 oontz orange
2 mini charles
2 mini zuzu’s
6 jailbrokens
4 onus’s
1 grimpact
3 devil dogs
1 gift of souls
4 pillow cases
1 endless halloween tonic
the rest was a multi mash of candy corn, skulls/nougat/fangs, random halloween foods and tonics roughly to the tune of 40k ofthe corn/fang/skull/nougats and several hundred of the misc tonics and foods.
In essences of luck ive gained enuff to make 800 exotic luck essences
But, there is another next to the wagon behind Drooburt just north of the Mystic Forge that sells the same minis and other things the one in the Grand Piazza sells.
I can’t say for certain, but I was under the impression last year that when the mini was added to the Halloween vendor it was removed from the trick or treat bag loot table.
Halloween 2015 & 2016 allowed players to purchase the miniature for 100 Candy Corn Cobs.
My first thought when when the event stared this year was that the price in cobs did go up. But the wiki is kinda wrong, saying that it can be purchased last year and this year for 100 cobs while clearly it costs 110 cobs this year.
But, this proves my point about them not listening to player feedback. As I said, last year people complained that 100 candy corn cobs was too much and this year they actually increased the price.

Just because people complained doesn’t mean the price is too high. Unless the price was 1 cob, people would be complaining.

It was definitely 100 cobs last year, here’s a screenshot of me getting it.
I almost couldn’t believe it when I saw the price had gone up this year, I thought it was crazy last year. Although any fixed price is better than a random chance, at least you can work towards having enough to buy it whereas you could keep buying and opening bags indefinitely and never get it.
But having spent 2014 farming bags to try to get Gwyn, 2015 farming cobs for it and now spending 2016 farming cobs for the Raven (which I can only hope to get because I had 100g saved up that was going to go towards my legendary and is going on this instead) I’m sincerely hoping this is the last of these crazy expensive minis, at least for a while.

Well, it isn’t a good idea to reduce the price since people who payed the high price last year would feel unfairly treated and entitled to some sort of candy corn cob refund of the difference.
The point I was making was that, last year people complained about the price being too high. But instead of leaving the price the same, they decided to increase it.

You will notice all Minis increased in Cob price sans the Candy Corn Elemental. Probably due to the playerbase’s increased ability to acquire loot (by being stronger overall).
The Wiki will (hopefully) always show the current information for items/features/data.
Is there more than 1 Candy Corn Vendor? I think the Wiki page probably hasn’t been updated as to the Vendor’s location after the Lion’s Arch update. (I’ve left a note about the change in location.)

Yeah. I did say I wasn’t certain about it being removed from ToT bags. And I didn’t notice the note on the wiki page at first showing this mini was cheaper last year.
Dang, I see so many ppl opening sooo many bags. If anyone ever has…to many candy corn/cobs or even too many bags, i’d be happy to take them off your hands for you.
