Exclusive PEZ for a Purpose: Support Responsible Play and Add to Your Collection..

After introducing you to the new 
Responsible Play the CT Way puck 
and promising to keep you updated on how to 
obtain the special PEZ, the moment has finally arrived. 
The amazing team at 
Responsible Play the CT Way
—a non-profit organization dedicated to 
helping those with gambling addictions—
has made it possible for this special 
PEZ dispenser to find its way into our collections.
 They have launched a special website with three 
unique ways to obtain one; simply choose how 
you'd like to support the non-profit and secure yours. 
(USA only)
This initiative is both generous and a fantastic 
way to raise awareness for a great cause.
You can check out the CCPG PEZ website

A Holiday Surprise: The Exclusive 2023 PEZ Snowman Dispensers for PEZ/Haas Employees

If there's one thing we've learned over 
the years in our hobby, it's that
 it’s full of surprises. 
 
And once again, PEZ has managed 
to surprise us, this time with two special snowmen 
dispensers made by PEZ Europe last autumn 
that we hadn't seen before.

Thanks to Lazlo's photos, we're excited 
to share more about these unique snowmen.
Left: Hungarian Right: German Christmas wishes printed on the stem.
As most of you know, the European headquarters 
of PEZ and Haas are located in Traun, Austria, 
while the production factory for our beloved 
dispensers and candies is in Hungary.

Last year, a special treat was created for 
the employees of PEZ/Haas in both Austria and Hungary. 
The company produced a snowman dispenser 
with a printed message bearing Christmas wishes
"Frohe Weihnachten 2023"
 in German and 
"Boldog Karácsonyt 2023"
 in Hungarian
which was given exclusively to the employees 
in both countries as Christmas gift.
Special Snowman: Left: Austrian version Middle: Hungarian version Right: blank backside blistercard Thank you Laszlo for the pictures ;)
So, what makes this dispenser so special? 
Firstly, it features a stem print and was 
released on a blister card in very limited quantities. 
Secondly, the blister card is blank on the back, 
lacking any country-specific production 
details or compositions. 
For the employees, this might just be a simple dispenser, 
but for collectors, these features 
significantly increase its value.

Even though these dispensers will never 
make it into our collections, 
we wanted to share their story with you.
 
We’re happy for the PEZ employees who 
received them as gifts from the company.
One has to be PEZ employee 
to recive something cool like this. ;)

Connecticut's Lifeline: The PEZ Puck with a Purpose, Responsible Play the CT Way

Let the search begin, 
because a new PEZ puck has been discovered!
 
The new PEZ puck, made by PEZ Candy Inc, 
features the state of Connecticut design with the message 
"Responsible Play the CT Way"
in bold red and black.
But this PEZ isn't just about collecting,
 it's about connecting.
The dispenser promotes CCPG, Connecticut's 
only 24/7 gambling addiction hotline that 
offers support via phone, chat and text, 
and reminds people that help is always 
available for those who need it.
If rumors are true, this special dispenser 
will likely be given out at conventions, 
but ultimately it's probably too early to confirm.

One thing is for sure, by putting 
the dispenser on their shelves, 
collectors are also spreading a message of 
hope and support for the community. 
Stay tuned, as soon as we find out more about
 how to get the new PEZ puck, you will 
find out about it here.
The hunt is on!
Happy Collecting!

A Sneak Peek into the Festive Season: Meet the New PEZ Elf Mascot! 2024 Advent Calendar!

Some of you might be wondering why
 PEZ PALZ would post a banner featuring 
Santa Clause and a winter landscape in the middle of summer.
 Are they trying to give us a cool visual 
break from the summer heat? 
Not quite!
Last week, we gave you an exclusive first look 
at this year’s new PEZ Advent calendar 
from PEZ International (Europe). 
While we didn’t have high-quality photos 
of the new Elf PEZ mascot at the time, 
we were too excited not to share the news 
with you right away. 
But we promised to share better photos
 as soon as we had them—and now, the time has come!
 As you know, we love to celebrate all 
exciting new releases, and we’ve highlighted 
this one by featuring it in a banner at the top of our blog.
 The new Elf mascot is definitely worth celebrating!
As mentioned in our first post, 
the new PEZ Elf mascot will only be available
 in Europe and exclusively in the Advent calendar. 
The calendar offers another treat for our European collectors:
 the Christmas tree dispenser with the red stem, 
which was part of last year’s U.S. Christmas range, 
will also make its debut behind the 24 doors.
We’re still waiting to confirm whether all PEZ dispensers
 in the calendar will have the PEZ Play Code printed
 on the stem, but we’ll find out for sure once 
we have the Advent calendar in hand. 
It’s expected to be available on various 
online sites in Europe by mid to late September.
 Now, we want to hear from you! 
What do you think of the new Elf PEZ mascot?
 Do you like it? Need it? 
Have to have it? 
We’re absolutely thrilled with Santa’s little helper
 and can’t wait to add it to our collection.
Happy Collecting!

Crystal Kitty Countdown: The Long-Awaited U.S. Release is Almost Here!

When PEZ International released the 
stunning Crystal Purple Hello Kitty 
in a specially designed gift box to 
celebrate the 50th anniversary of 
Hello Kitty 
this June, we were excited to announce 
on our blog that it would also be coming to
 the USA as an online-exclusive dispenser on PEZ.com.
However, since then, 
there hasn't been any news, and we've 
received many inquiries about it. 
We're happy to finally provide an update!

The wait is almost over—this highly 
anticipated dispenser will soon be available 
for all our American PEZ collectors! 
As we mentioned in June, it won't be released
 in the gift box like in Europe 
but will come on a specially designed PEZ blister card.

While you'll need to be a bit more patient, 
remember, anticipation is the greatest joy.

From Japan with Charm: The Must-Have PEZ Key Charms for Collectors

The licensed Japanese PEZ Key Charms 
have become a hit, 
not just among Japanese PEZ fans 
but also within our own collector communities.
 
 It's easy to see why—these charms feature meticulously selected characters that appeal to a broad range of collectors. 
Whether it’s Spongebob (with the golden version being a standout)
 or the Care Bears, these trendy figures, 
along with beloved retro dispensers like 
Boy, Girl, and the vintage Duck, 
have captured the hearts of many.
 
Given their popularity, it’s no surprise that 
dedicated communities have formed to source
 these key charms directly from Japan.

Plaza has once again demonstrated their keen
 sense of what collectors crave by releasing
 three fantastic new key charms. 
The retro Cow, the crystal Bubbleman, 
and the Easter Bunny are the latest must-have 
additions to the collection.

We've put together a colorful pictorial 
showcasing all the PEZ key charms from Japan
—we hope you enjoy it!

Happy Collecting!

have been available for a while at

new molds for all three dispensers.
