Barky Brown: A PEZ Legacy of Compassion and Collectible Joy

In 2005, a special addition was made to the world of 
PEZ dispensers—a charming character named Barky.
Officially known as 
Barky, Barkina,
Barclay and Barkette
these adorable dispensers quickly captured
 the hearts of collectors and animal lovers alike. 

More than just a delightful collectible, 
Barky was introduced with a noble purpose:
all profits from its sales were dedicated to 
Save Our Strays, an organization committed 
to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming 
unwanted dogs and cats. 
Through this initiative, Barky has been 
instrumental in providing countless animals
 with a second chance at life.
Over the years, Barky has seen an impressive 
array of releases—190 different versions since 
its debut. Each release brought a unique charm, 
making some of these Barky Brown PEZ dispensers
incredibly rare and highly sought after. For collectors,
these dispensers are not merely another item for 
their shelves but a highlight of their PEZ collections, 
representing a blend of joy, nostalgia, and a good cause.

To help enthusiasts track their collections, a complete 
pictorial guide of all Barky Brown PEZ dispensers has 
been created. This guide ensures that collectors 
can verify they have every version, from 
the common to the exclusive.
You can find the page HERE 


For those eager to add Barky to their collections, two exceptional
sellers offer these cherished items. Tina Gunsauls, a beloved figure 
in the PEZ community, can be contacted via Facebook 
Tina Christison Gunsauls HERE or by email at tina@snowcrest.net

Another trusted source is Ann Jager, who runs 
the Canada Candy Connection. 
Her collection can be explored at canadacandyconnection.com.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer, 
Barky continues to be a symbol of compassion and joy, 
bringing together the worlds of collectibles 
and animal welfare in the most heartwarming way.

Buzzing with Excitement: The New PEZ Alien Takes Collectors by Storm!

After PEZ International introduced 
their product catalog with this year's new releases 
(you can find our post about it here), 
two dispensers from the new lineup 
immediately caught our attention. 

On the one hand, the new 
Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos pumpkin, 
and on the other, we were absolutely thrilled
 about the new PEZ 
ALIEN, 
which will be added to 
the Space/Mars Mission collection by the end of the year.
The same reactions can be found in the 
PEZ communities, where the Alien has 
unquestionably left the biggest impression. 
Everyone seems to be most excited about the Alien!
A funny anecdote here is that the Alien was on
 the discussion list at PEZ until the very last 
moment, and was almost scrapped.
But why are we all so excited about the PEZ Alien?
The fact that aliens are mysterious 
and otherworldly makes them inherently 
fascinating and special, but also a bit terrifying. 

Since there's no definitive scientific proof of their
 existence, they remain an unsolved puzzle.
While the regular PEZ collection is designed with 
a childlike charm, the Alien stands out because 
it's a bit more mystical and different, 
which is exactly why it's so intriguing to us.

We’re curious to know why the Alien resonates so 
much with all of you and why it excites you so much?

For us, the possibilities are endless!

Just imagine if PEZ were to release a 
glow-in-the-dark 
version of the Alien, 
OMG!, we would probably lose it! 
We can dream, right? 
And sometimes dreams do come true 😉
Happy Collecting!

PEZ International Releases the Three Peppermint PEZ Girls for European Collectors!

 After PEZ Candy Inc. surprised us yesterday

Peppermint PEZ Girls, 
as we had announced, PEZ International is 
now following suit with the same release. 
European PEZ collectors now have the 
opportunity to order these three girls. (here)

The only difference compared to the US version
 is the PEZ blister card!
PEZ International has also added two more
 interesting items to their online store.
First, there's the new PEZ Candy 
KiBa flavor mix, which consists 
of KI = Kirsche-the German word for cherry and Ba for banana.
We are especially excited to announce that 
PEZ has also added the Giant Fizzy Roll 
to their online selection. 
We've been hoping for this new roll for a long time, 
and now it has finally become a reality!
Available here.

 This year, PEZ will also offer 
new Giant Fizzy Rolls in the following flavors: 
Tutti Frutti, Cola Mix, and Sour Mix.

the new year, showcasing exciting new licenses, 
and the fantastic new dispensers
 that await us and which we should look for in stores.

But that's not all—many more updates 
are featured in the new catalog, 
such as gift sets, new flavors, and much more!

The printed version of the catalog is also
 treasured by collectors, often regarded as
 a bible in their collections.

Now, to our great joy, the new catalog is 
available online (here), 
and we’ve prepared and packed all
 the updates for you.

We’ve left out dispensers from the first and 
second quarters here, but you can find
 the news about them here.

Enjoy all the latest news from PEZ International (Europe)!
Squishmallows
A completely new PEZ range, 
Squishmallow plush toys, has taken
 children's rooms by storm.

These cuddly friends bring comfort and
 security to both young and old, 
and they will be available as PEZ dispensers!

With Cam the Cat,
 Connor the Cow, 
and Junie the Banana, 
we’ll get three adorable new dispensers starting 
from the third quarter.
(USA license confirmed)

The Ninja Turtles are back!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:
 Mutant Mayhem movie released in 2023 and 
was a worldwide success.
The movie revitalized the brand, with a
 new TV series launching on Nickelodeon 
and Paramount+ in August 2024.

In addition, PEZ has secured the license and 
is bringing the Ninja Turtles back in a completely new look.

Starting from the third quarter, we can add
 Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, 
and Raphael to our collection alongside many other Turtles.
(USA license confirmed)

Make room for another new 
SpongeBob dispenser!
SpongeBob SquarePants will be with 
us again this year!
We can look forward to the Sparkling Eyes SpongeBob!
The new Sparkling Eyes SpongeBob will join the already available Smiling SpongeBob, Patrick, Nerdy SpongeBob, and Gary.
All of this starting from the third quarter this year!
(USA license confirmed)
Mercat, Cakey Cat, and Pandy Paws from the 
Gabby's Dollhouse 
PEZ collection 
were introduced to the market for the first time, and in 2023, 
Gabby, the main character, followed as a PEZ dispenser. in 2024.
The journey continues in 2025, 
and alongside the 4 existing dispensers, 
Kitty Fairy will be added to the collection
 starting in the third quarter.
(USA license confirmed)
 
The stories of Chase and his friends from the 
PAW PATROL
universe have taken children’s 
rooms around the world by storm.

PEZ really had a good instinct with Paw Patrol, 
as the dispensers featuring the adorable 
pups are incredibly popular.

So it’s no surprise that PEZ has come up with
 something exciting and new for the 
Paw Patrol collection this year!
With Rex, another cute pup joins the already
 existing dispensers of Chase, Skye, Marshall,
 Liberty, and Rubble!
All of this starting from the third quarter!

With the PEZ Mars/Space Mission series,
 PEZ has created the most popular collection among collectors!
PEZ may not even realize just how much we love this series.
 The Gold and Silver Astronauts, the Space Rocket, 
and the Mars Roover dispensers have captured our hearts!

As we mentioned before, there were discussions 
about expanding the series, and even though
 it was uncertain for a while, we are now thrilled
 to welcome another dispenser, and tadaaaa,
it’s the 
Alien!
But who can wait until the fourth quarter for this dispenser? 
Come on, PEZ, maybe bring it forward a little 😉

This year’s 
Halloween 
collection brings us a new pumpkin,
 and as we hinted last year, the Day of the Dead 
dispenser has made it into PEZ’s lineup!

What a great design, PEZ! We can’t wait to 
add this dispenser to our collections!
(USA license confirmed)
The 
Super Mario 
PEZ collection surprises us this year 
with a redesign of Mario and the Toad dispenser.

At first glance, it’s hard to spot the differences 
from the photo, because they both
 look similar to previous releases, at first glance.
But one thing is certain: 
both have been redesigned!
 We probably have to wait until 
we hold the new dispenser in our hands to see the changes.


There isn’t much new to report about 
this year’s Christmas collection, except
 that the red elf, which was released in the USA last year,
 is now joining the European Christmas assortment. 
The only difference beetween the US and Euro version, 
is that the PEZ Playcode is printed on the stem.

In the fourth quarter, we’ll also see the 
Jurassic World Explorers. 
PEZ hasn’t shared an official photo with 
us yet, so the dispensers may still be in development. 
However, judging by the image, they’re likely 
to be designed in a very child-friendly style.
 Let’s be surprised by which dinosaur 
dispensers PEZ will wow us with this time! 
 PEZ has also created some fantastic new gift boxes, 
bags, and maxi bags for this year!
 
In the Twin Packs, PEZ is surprising us this year with 
the Minecraft and Gabby’s Dollhouse twin packs.
 
After the successful introduction of the 
Fizzy Giant Roll, more is on the way.
 The series has been expanded, and now, i
n addition to Tutti Frutti, we’ll also have the
 Fizzy Cola Mix and Sour Mix Giant Rolls
OMG, don’t the new Fizzy and Dextrose
 Monster Bags look amazing?
In the flavors Tutti Frutti, Fruit Flavors, Fizzy Cola Mix, 
and Sour Mix, they’ve already won our hearts!
An absolute must for our collections, 
as PEZ has truly created a masterpiece graphically here!
In the 85g bags, which each come with
 a PEZ dispenser and 10 PEZ candies, 
we’ll find the new Pokémon and Stitch dispensers this year!
For the PEZ MAXI Bags, 
alongside Asterix, Mickey, Princesses, and Looney Tunes, 
the two new Barbie and Super Mario 
MAXI Bags will join the lineup this year.


Now, we just have to wait until we can 
add all these fantastic new items from PEZ to our collections.
Cherrs to the best hobby in the world!

us with an image shared on their social media channels, 
featuring a pink and blue theme 
with white bear silhouettes.
 
Many of you quickly speculated that these
 might be special Valentine’s bears, but 
we can confirm that this is not the case!
Yes, the bears are coming soon, 
and here’s something that will interest
 you the most: they will be available online
 for both European and American collectors!
 
There will be two bears, with a fresh, sweet theme, 
but we can’t reveal any more details just yet.
 
Now, you might be wondering,
 “What about Valentine’s Day?” 
Rest assured, PEZ has something special
planned for their online shop 
in celebration of Valentine’s Day. 
This year’s dispensers are neither a mascot nor the iconic
 PEZ Presenter Girl! Get ready for a surprise, 
something you’d never expect in a million years!
Oh, and before we forget, with the two bears, and the
two Valentine's Day dispensers 
a total of 
seven dispensers 
will be available as Online Exclusives
 in the coming weeks! 
 
The fact that three dispensers will be released at
 the same time will undoubtedly
 surprise and delight you.
Stay tuned, it’s going to be an exciting journey!
