Christmas Mickey and Minnie PEZ spotted in Europe...

 The Christmas 
Mickey and Minnie 
with red stocking caps
which were only available in the USA last year, 
have now made their way to Europe.
We are happy to report that they have already
 been spotted in several European countries.
This means also for all the PEZ card collectors, 
that you will soon be able to add a new card to your collection.
The two dispensers are also nice to bring along as gifts.
Happy Collecting!

Thank you Ferenc for the video :)

New 2021 WAWA PEZ Truck is here...

This is the tenth addition which can be added soon to our 
PEZ Wawa fleet collection. (USA only)
 Wawa is a chain of convenience stores located on the east coast of the US.
 Time to start checking around at your local Wawa store.

New Candy Corn PEZ Mascot now available...

UPDATE: SOLD OUT!
 Since May 2019, when the first PEZ Candy Mascot dispenser 
was introduced, we have freaked out every time 
when a new one has been released.

Of course, the upper floors at PEZ also noticed this, 
and so it is no longer surprising that one 
mascot dispenser after the other follows.
We thought the Grape Candy mascot couldn't be topped, 
but we were wrong. :D

Here comes the mascot number 12,
 and it is the beautiful 
CANDY CORN
mascot dispenser! 
OMG yes we scream for joy!
Can we have some more, please!
We can't wait to add the new 
Candy Corn PEZ mascot to our collections.
Unfortunately, the jewelery is only available in 
the PEZ online store in the USA. (here)
But hurry up, it will surely be sold out again very quickly.
Happy Collecting!

2021 Christmas and New Year PEZ dispensers...

While some of us are starting to find the 
Christmas PEZ assortment for 2021,
 we would like to take a closer look at the 
differences between the 
U.S. and the European Christmas PEZ releases for you.

new 2021 USA Christmas PEZ assortment: 
new fabulous Nutcracker (Tube only)
new Elf (regular assortment)
mini Santa and mini Snowman (Ornaments)
Full Body Santa Ornament
New vs old Fullbody Santa (thank you Gail for the pictrue)
 
new 2021 EUROPE Christmas PEZ assortment:
For the very first time, new PEZ Advent Calendar 
with an exclusiv limited Edition 
crystal tree PEZ dispenser (Euro only)
Snowman with play code printed on the stem
 (Mickey and Minnie with red stocking caps - 2020 USA release
 this year also in Europe to be released.
NEW YEAR PEZ DISPENSER?  
At the turn of the year 2019 to 2020 the 
Ladyluck PEZ dispenser 
was intodruced (limited Edition of 2020 pcs.).
Last year it was the crystal new year eve's ball
(limited Edition of 2021, USA only)
The question is, if and with what PEZ will
surprise us this year? 
We all know PEZ loves to stick to traditions, 
so we are almost certain that we will see 
something wonderful again.
There were some dissatisfied collectors last year 
because of the crystal ball, we assume that it 
could be something different this year. 
The marketing department has neither 
confirmed nor denied anything.
 We all will have to be patient a little longer...
but we're on to find out more for you...
so, stay tuned! 
Happy Collecting! 


Crystal Panda Number 9 is here! Pictures from the JAPAN PEZ Gathering...

This year's Japan PEZ Gathering in Tokyo is over!
Toshihiro the host and his helpers have again organized
a successful PEZ gathering for all the Japanese collectors.
 Shiho and Toshihiro sent us a lot of photos
and also said that everyone had a lot of fun
and that everybody was happy that the gathering could took place.
PEZ International has also produced a crystal PEZ Panda
for the Japan PEZ Gathering.
Toshihiro opted for a pink stem with a lovely cherry blossom print.
With the new Japanese crystal PEZ Panda,
we have now seen a total of 9 out of 16 panda bears.
 
No further PEZ gathering has been announced
in Europe for this year,
so we will probably see the remaining 7 pandas next year.
 Thanks for the many photos Shiho,
and many thanks on behalf of all Japanese
PEZ collectors for a great PEZ Gathering Toshihiro!
Happy Collecting!

2022 release! New Care Bears and Sonic the Hedgehog PEZ assortment for Europe and the USA...

We especially love posts like this one, 
because today we are happy to announce 
that both new series 
CARE BEARS 
and 
SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 
will be released 
next year in both the USA and Europe.

CARE BEARS
We had already seen the Care Bears for the 
first time at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in June (here) 
now the first pictures of the new range have appeared on Anne MC Gilvray.
The new Care Bear PEZ assortment can be expected 
in the USA from February 1st, and we assume that they will be available 
in Europe in the first quarter of 2022.

We will soon be able to welcome the following 
4 bears to our collections:
Pictures from: Anne MC Gilvray.

SONIC the Hedgehog
Sega developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991,
 to compete with Nintendo's mascot Mario.

Its succes helped Sega become one of the leading video game 
companies during the fourth generation of 
video game consoles in the early 1990s.

The game is cult and so is the corresponding 
anthropomorphic blue hedgehog.

It's brilliant that PEZ has secured the license rights 
for the new Sonic 2 movie.
The new Sonic PEZ assortment consists of 
Sonic, 
Knuckles
Tails 
and is expected for February 1 in the USA, 
and in the first quarter of 2022 in Europe.
2022 will be great!
But it will take a while before we can add all the great 
new dispenser to our collections!
Happy Collecting!

Confirmed! The Black stem Money Heist PEZ will come back...

Of course,
 some don't care, others just want one, 
and many like me have activated their collector mode 
and want all 10 of the new, rare Money Heist PEZ dispensers
 with code name on the black stems.

The past two weeks have already shown that this 
is not so easy, the dispensers were eagerly ordered on Amazon,
traded and resold via the PEZ communities.
Now they are sold out on Amazon! 

Even if there was one or the other outcry two weeks ago,
 we can‘t forget that PEZ is a company and 
of course like all the other companies 
they want to sell their products.
From an entrepreneur's point of view, 
it is an ingenious marketing campaign, 
not only that we now know that PEZ International operates 
its own Amazon store, no, all the Money Heist sets are 
already sold out on Amazon!
 Rumors have recently surfaced that the 
Money Heist PEZ Sets will also be available in 
the official PEZ International online store (Europe) in December, 
but we cannot confirm the date at this point.

We are pleased that we can now officially confirm that they will come back
(no date yet available) 
and what will probably interest you even more,
 the same number-
 same quantity was produced 
for all 10 dispensers!

Even if our many American collectors have 
still not given up the hope, we unfortunately have to disappoint you,
 the 10 dispensers with the black stem were 
only produced for distribution in Europe.
 
We are still on the hunt, after all, 
we want to add all the 10 dispensers to our collection.
Finger crossed!
Happy Collecting!

Great news!
Now the time has come, PEZ International is also 
offering the new 
crystal PEZ Vampire in their online shop. (here)
And PEZ International has now also revealed the name ;D 
Freddy!
Hurry up, he'll be gone faster than we'd like.
Happy Collecting!

Shiho's Guide for all the Japanese PEZ Things...

Years ago Shiho told us that she was working
on a book about all published in Japan, PEZ non dispensers
and PEZ merchandise articles.
 
Now it's done!
Japanese PEZ Things by Shiho Adachi.
 
It is unbelievable what Shiho
has created and achieved!
 
Shiho is overjoyed that she has succeeded in publishing her book,
 in which she wants to give collectors from all over the world
an overview of how many different
PEZ merchandise items have been published in Japan so far.
We all know that it seems to be a million different
 PEZ items from Japan and you won't believe
 what was made there over the past few years.
 
Shiho told us:
  After coming up with the idea, I went to work at a
bookbinding company, to learn how books are made.
Starting from scratch, photographs, editing, printing
and binding. It was important to Shiho to design the entire process
 from the beginning to the end by herself.
 
 Shiho's 136-pages book has been published in English and German,
of course with many pictures but also with
the dimensions and explanations,
as well as the date of the publication of the respective PEZ articles.
We can really recommend this book!
If you want to get a copy of it ($22),
the first run of the English version is already sold out,
at the moment Shiho still has the German version available.
But don't worry, Shiho is already working on making
 all the books available again.
The best thing to do is to contact Shiho directly via
Facebook, by email or via Instagram.

Thank you Shiho for giving us the opportunity with your book
to get to know all Japanese PEZ merchandise items.
 
 To us, you are our PEZ HEAD OF THE YEAR! 
We love you Shiho, but that was the case before the book too!
Happy Collecting!
