USA Collectors! Exciting News: PEZ X-mas Girls Now Available in the U.S.!

After PEZ International added the amazing
 retro Presenter Christmas Girls to their 
online shop earlier today, giving European 
collectors the chance to grab them,
it’s now
 time for our American PEZ friends to 
secure these two fantastic 
PEZ Girls through PEZ Candy Inc.’s online store. 
One difference from today's European release, 
lies in the PEZ candies and the different 
designed PEZ blister cards.
 Perhaps some of you have noticed, 
 that PEZ Candy Inc. recently welcomed
 a new graphic designer to their team. 
We owe her a big thank you for the
 beautifully designed PEZ blister cards!
The holiday blister cards for the new 
Christmas Girls were created with so much
 love and attention to detail. 
We’d like to welcome the new PEZ team member 
and let her know how much we 
appreciate her amazing designs!

Update on the Release of NARUTO PEZ Dispensers.

When the new PEZ catalog was 
released at the beginning of the year, 
our excitement for the new 
Naruto PEZ dispensers grew immensely.

Although only the first concept photos 
were available at that time, 
we were hopeful that the dispensers 
would be in European stores by 
the end of the year.

As the year draws to a close with no sign 
of the Naruto PEZ dispensers in sight, 
we’d like to provide you with an update.
Naruto, 
Sakura, 
and Sasuke 
will not be released this year. 

Their launch is now expected at the end of 
the first quarter of 2025 (March 2025). 

But we have some great news for you!
They will not only be released in Europe, 
PEZ Candy Inc. has also secured the 
license for the American market!
Please note: Concept only pictures, NOT FINAL!

This means that all PEZ collectors can 
look forward to the new 
NARUTO 
dispensers at the same time.

Now, we’re not just eagerly waiting
 for the new dispensers, 
but also for the official photos to see if 
the final products differ from the concept images.

As soon as the pictures are released, 
you’ll be the first to see them from us. 

We may have to be a little patient, 
but the anticipation is both motivating and exciting.
Stay tuned!
Happy Collecting!

Exclusive First Look! New 2025 PEZ Emoji assortment.

Over the past few weeks, 
we've showcased several exciting new dispensers
 we can expect from PEZ in 2025. 
You can find our stories about the new 
dispensers, by simply clicking on the names.
 
Today we have something great for you again, 
as we’re bringing you another first look at a PEZ series
 that we can look forward to next year.
Most of us may not have heard of Japanese
 designer Shigetaka Kurita, 
but his invention;
EMOJIS
is something we all use today. 
In the late 90s, he created the first smileys,
 hearts, and other pictograms for a telecom company, 
which is what the term "emoji" originally refers to.
 
Continuing a tradition, PEZ International will release 
another new emoji series in 2025, 
and we're excited to give you a sneak peek. 

All 2025 PEZ emojis feature new facial prints!
The new LOVE emoji 
with smiling eyes and floating hearts
 set atop a vibrant red stem, featuring 
"Love" elegantly printed along the stem.
 
An AMAZED emoji featuring a wide smile 
and starry eyes, coming on an orange stem
 with the "Awesome" print.
 
A completely new COOL emoji 
with blue sunglasses on a blue stem 
with the "Cool" print on the stem.
 
Due to the overwhelming success
 of last year's Rainbow emoji
we're excited to announce its return
 in a revamped version for 2025, 
featuring "Clouds" on the stem 
alongside a new facial print.
 
The new PEZ emoji collection will be available in 
European stores (EU only) in the 
second quarter of 2025. 
We can’t wait!
Happy Collecting! 
Thank you PEZ International for the pictures :)

A Slice of Thanksgiving: The Limited Edition Pumpkin Pie PEZ Dispenser is Here!

For years, PEZ collectors—especially those 
in the U.S.—have expressed their desire 
for a holiday dispenser dedicated to Thanksgiving.

This year, PEZ Candy Inc. has finally answered
 that request with a festive and fitting addition:
 the limited edition 
Thanksgiving Pumpkin Pie 
PEZ dispenser.
Pumpkin pie, a symbol of American tradition, 
is a beloved dessert made from pumpkins 
and seasonal spices like cinnamon, 
ginger, and nutmeg. 
It's enjoyed in many variations, 
particularly around Halloween and Thanksgiving—
and this new PEZ dispenser even comes topped 
with a dollop of whipped cream!
To add to the holiday spirit, the dispenser's stem 
is printed with a cheerful 
"Happy Thanksgiving" 
in a festive font, making it even more 
special for the occasion.
 With the Pumpkin Pie PEZ dispenser, 
collectors can now expand their 
"PEZ Treats" 

And now, get the new dispenser here. 
(USA only)
It’s time to enjoy the pie! Mmm...
Happy Collecting!

NEW Target Dog! Target's Bullseye is Back: A Decade of PEZ Surprises and a New Dispenser to Add to Your Collection!

It was back in 2013 when Target 
surprised us with its first exclusive 
Target Bullseye Dog PEZ dispenser. 
 
Then, before Christmas 2014, 
Target blew us away with a gift card and, 
together with PEZ Candy Inc.,
 delivered two holiday dispensers: 
the Santa Bullseye Dog and a 
mini Elf Bullseye Dog. 
We were immediately hooked and
 cleared out the Target shelves.
Even though it feels like just yesterday,
 Target kept us waiting for nearly 
another 10 years. This spring, after the long wait, 
something completely different arrived: 
Target’s first PEZ truck, 
with none other than the Bullseye Dog 
smiling at us from the side.
Now it’s time to storm the Target stores again,
 because there's another new dispenser 
for our collections! 
And to everyone's delight, 
PEZ Candy Inc. has given the Bullseye 
Dog a brand-new mold!
Available online here.

 
 Let’s welcome the 5th Target PEZ 
dispenser to our collections, and please, 
Target—don’t make us wait another 
10 years for something new!
Target UPC Code, Thank you Phyllis for the pic ;)
 
The new Target 2024 Bullseye Dog is 
available online here, or in Target stores.

Rumor Has It: Coming Next Year: Day of the Dead/Dia de los Muertos PEZ Dispenser?

The Day of the Dead is a holiday traditionally
 celebrated on November 1 and 2, 
though some regions may also include
 October 31 or November 6. 
This multi-day celebration brings together family 
and friends to honor and remember 
loved ones who have passed away. 
 
The Day of the Dead
 Dia de los Muertos,
  the holiday gained widespread recognition
 through the Disney-Pixar film Coco
an Oscar-winning animated feature 
in which a young boy uncovers an 
ancient family secret by visiting his 
relatives in the afterlife.
In Mexico, indigenous traditions hold 
that the souls of family members return
 from the afterlife during these days. 
To welcome them, families set up and adorn
 altars in their homes.
In 2008, UNESCO added this tradition to
 the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
 
 However, in recent years, 
the Day of the Dead has increasingly 
evolved into a commercial event. 
 
The muralist Diego Rivera (1886–1957),
 husband of artist Frida Kahlo, 
played a significant role in shaping 
the modern observance of the holiday,
 famously depicting the skeleton figure 
"Catrina" in his painting "Dream of a Sunday 
Afternoon in the Alameda."
 
The vibrant, flower-adorned skulls have 
become iconic, and they are now sold 
worldwide, especially around Halloween.
 
This brings us to the latest rumors 
we’ve picked up, which we’re excited
 to share with you! 
 
PEZ pumpkins have long been a tradition 
in our collections, and it seems that next 
year for Halloween we may be getting a 
pumpkin in the traditional
 "Day of the Dead" Día de los Muertosstyle
colorful and adorned with flowers. 
We couldn't resist creating a mock-up 
of this dispenser
 in Photoshop, so you can get a 
sense of what to expect.
Please note, made in Photoshop and not real!


As soon as there are first photos or further news, we 
will share them with you in the usual manner.
 
 The anticipation is building, but as we all know,
 there’s often a grain of truth behind every rumor. 
Happy Collecting!

AUSTRIA WKO A Rare Gem: The Exclusive Advantage Austria PEZ Mascot at China Connect 2024

Recently, European PEZ collectors 
were thrilled with the release of the 
new red-white-red 
"I Love Austria"
 PEZ mascot.

Today, we’re introducing another 
dispenser from the "I Love Austria" 
edition, but we’re torn between excitement
 and a touch of sadness.

To explain, let’s take a brief detour.

ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA 
is part of the Austrian Chamber of Commerce, 
operating over 100 offices in 
more than 70 countries. 
They provide a wide range of intelligence and
 business development services to Austrian 
companies and their international partners.

After years of preparation, PEZ officially entered 
the Chinese market in 2019, a key region 
for the brand’s growth. 
You may recall the grand opening of the 
PEZ shop in Shanghai

So, how does PEZ connect with 
Advantage Austria and China?

It’s simple.

From October 24-26, 2024, 
Advantage Austria Hong Kong is hosting
 the Austria China Connect Conference, 
the largest gathering for the Austrian 
business community in China, 
held in Hong Kong. 
PEZ is proudly supporting this event alongside
 other Austrian companies as an event partner.

Super Rare, Advantage Austria red-white-red PEZ mascot.
And, as a special gesture, 
PEZ has created something unique: 
the red-white-red PEZ mascot, 
now featuring the Advantage Austria logo 
on the stem, is included as a special 
gift in the event's goody bags.
Presentation of the new I Love Austria PEZ Advantage PEZ Mascot
Thank you Advantage HK for the pictures, Danke :)
Now, for the part that brings us a bit of sadness, 
only a few hundred of these dispensers 
were produced exclusively for this event. 

This means it will likely be challenging 
(if not impossible) for collectors to get their hands on one.

But never say never! :)

We wish all attendees of the Austria
 China Connect event a successful
 and memorable experience!

And who knows, perhaps there 
will be a couple of extra goody bags 
for a giveaway on the blog. 
What do you think, Advantage Austria HK? ;)
Hört ihr uns Advantage Austria :)
Happy Collecting!
