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!

Celebrate Austria: The Limited 2024 Edition ‘I Love Austria’ PEZ Mascot is Here!


We don’t need to dive deep into PEZ's history,
everyone knows its origins 
trace back to Austria.

In recent years, PEZ has honored its 
Austrian roots by releasing 
special dispensers and themed collections. 

This year, after launching the 
Mozart and Sissi dispensers on a newly
 designed "I Love Austria" blister card 
PEZ surprises us again with a
delightful new Austria-themed dispenser.
Just in time for Austria’s national 
holiday on October 26th, 
the new limited-edition 
"I Love Austria" 
PEZ MASCOT
is now available exclusively in 
the PEZ International online shop (Euro only)
This marks the 24th PEZ mascot
 in the series and features the iconic 
Austrian national colors—
red, white, red
on the "I Love Austria" blister card. 
Trades?
If an opportunity arises,
 this will also give European collectors
 the opportunity to trade this Austrian 
mascot for the American 4th of July 
version with American collectors.

New in Europe also finally AMY from Sonic, 
and don't forget to order the new PEZ Wedding Bag!
available here.
  • Practical paper shopper with textile cords in stylish PEZ "Wedding" design
  • Size: approx. 30 x 30 x 10 cm
We've prepared a fresh pictorial showcasing 
all the PEZ mascots for you.

But enough talk—let’s celebrate this fantastic
 new addition to the PEZ family!

A Festive Collaboration: Walmart and PEZ bring us a Holiday PEZ Pikachu...

Walmart and PEZ have enjoyed a 
longstanding partnership, 
resulting in a remarkable array of
 PEZ dispensers for our collections.

Once again this year,
 they have come up with something fantastic.
Let’s take a moment to reflect: 
among the many Walmart PEZ trucks, 
the Employee PEZ Truck stands out as a true highlight.
The fantastic Collector's Edition sets featuring 
Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings,
 and The Hobbit, 
along with the Walmart Museum Smiley
 and Pickup Tower, have thrilled 
collectors everywhere.

In 2022 and 2023, the exclusive 
Star Wars Christmas Baby Yoda 
dispensers available at Walmart 
ignited excitement among us and 
Star Wars fans around the globe.

Now, PEZ and Walmart are surprising 
us with something completely new: 
a Christmas special edition of the 
Pokémon Pikachu
PEZ dispenser.
The new Pikachu sports an adorable 
Christmas hat, featuring a charming print
 that says "Happy Holidays" alongside candy canes.

We absolutely love these festive surprises!

We’ve put together a Pokémon PEZ pictorial
 for you, showcasing all the currently available
 PEZ Pokémon dispensers. 
As a special highlight, we’ve also 
included the new 2025 Pokémon 
assortment in our pictorial. 

If you haven’t seen our post about it yet,
 feel free to read more here.

Now it’s your turn—head to your nearest Walmart, 
we hope  you will be lucky to find the new Pikachu.
Happy Collecting!

PEZ has unveiled two new Notepads in Retro and Treats Style!

Again and again, we glance over to
 Japan when various new licensed
 PEZ merchandise featuring 
retro vintage PEZ dispensers coming onto the market.

Often, we wonder why it isn’t easier for
 us to access these items, 
or why PEZ itself does not release products with 
the design of the Retro PEZ dispensers.

However, this is about to change, 
as PEZ Candy Inc. surprises us with
two new notepads. 

These exciting additions celebrate 
both classic and contemporary designs. 
One of the two new notepads boasts 
a retro design featuring vintage 
PEZ dispensers from yesteryear. 
With these retro dispensers, PEZ returns to its roots. 
Yes, PEZ, we want more of these vintage retro classics! 
You have plenty of usable material in 
your archives, don’t hold back; 
give us what we love! :)

The second notepad is also impressive, 
showcasing current dispensers from the 
beloved PEZ Treats collection.
In our digital age, notepads remain an 
essential tool, helping us capture thoughts, 
ideas, and to-do lists, 
freeing our minds for new inspirations.

These new Notepads from PEZ are so charming 
that they feel to special to use in everday life.

You can find these two fantastic new notepads here. 
(USA only)
If you don’t already have the matching 
PEZ Pens, be sure to check also out the 
Two new PEZ Pencils are also available
to add to your collection.
 

 
PEZ Candy Inc added a few more Kat & Annie PEZ Ornaments, these are a nice addition to all the PEZ Ornaments Collectors!
What a wonderful surprise from PEZ, 
we’d love to see more in the future!
Happy Collecting!

PEZ Brings Joy to the Taipei Toy Festival.

We are always happy when our beloved
 hobby and of course PEZ are 
brought into focus, be it at trade fairs, 
events or exhibitions.
 
Today we have received pictures from Taipei-Taiwan,
 which we naturally want to share with you,
 the Taipei Toy Festival is currently
 taking place there, which has not only 
generated bigger attendance each year, 
but it has also caught international attention.
 Taipei Toy Festival (TTF) has emerged as 
one of the largest and most prestigious 
designer toy venues in the world.
 
The 21st Taipei Toy Festival is going on this weekend
 from October 10 to 13 at Huashan 1914 Creative Park.
The exhibition features three halls and four areas, with 146
exhibitors from around the world
 And of course PEZ cannot be missed, 
and will be represented as an exhibitor at 
the trade fair, at stand A19.
This provides PEZ the opportunity to
 showcase its products to all toy enthusiasts. 
It's also the ideal way to attract new collectors.
 The stand itself is small but super cute, 
but take a look yourself.
We would take this amazing display 
case home with us, right away!
 
Congratulaitions PEZ Taiwan, you did a 
wonderful job on creating an amazing set up!
 
That's how we love it!
