Looking Back on 2024: A Year in PEZ Collecting! Here is our 2024 PEZ Pictorial for you!

As the final hours of this year tick away, 

we want to take the opportunity to 

reflect on the 2024 PEZ year.

 

We’re quite proud to have been delighting

 you with our annual pictorials since 2014.

 (You can find all the images here.) 

Back in 2014, it was quite challenging to get 

decent pictures, let alone high-resolution 

ones in a front-facing view. 

Thankfully, times have changed, 

and PEZ now provides us with these images. 

A huge thank you to PEZ for that—we truly appreciate

 being able to pester you for updates! 😉

 

A quick note about our list: 

we have always listed the dispensers 

by their release date. 

For example, the new PEZ Barbies were released 

in the USA this year, but they 

already debuted in Europe last year, 

so they are included in the 2023 PEZ pictorial.

 

The new Valentine's dispensers are listed

 on our 2024 list, as they have already 

been spotted by several collectors in 

various American stores. 

How Would You Rate the 2024 PEZ Year?

Before we dive in, we’d love to know your thoughts:

 

+Do you think there were more dispensers than last year?

+About the same?

+Or perhaps even fewer?

 

We’ve got the answer for you, and it might surprise you.

 

This year we saw the exact same number

of new dispensers as last year (2023). 

To be precise, 

103 New PEZ Dispensers

 were released from PEZ this year! 

Breaking Down the Numbers

 Out of the 103 dispensers:

61 were available in both the USA and Europe,

45 were for the USA and

16 were exclusive to Europe.

 

 

Last year’s New Year’s slogan from PEZ was,  

“Out of this World,” 

had us all buzzing with excitement. 

Now we can crunch the numbers: 

25 of the 103 dispensers were online exclusives 

(including the Advent Calendar Elf and the NY-Chase dispenser). 

 

Out of the 25 Online Exclusive dispensers, 

18 were available online in both the USA and Europe. 

4 were exclusive to the USA. 

3 were exclusive to Europe (Including the Advent Calendar). 

 

Reflecting on that slogan, 

PEZ, you truly delivered—these releases 

were “out of this world,” and we love 

all the special editions! 

 

The Community's Perspective:

One frequent critique in the community

 is the recurrence of similar dispensers. 

This year,  

25 completely new molds 

were introduced, making up about a 

quarter of the total releases.

 

Ball dispensers, often a divisive topic, 

made a modest appearance this year, 

with only 5 released:

3 in Europe as part of the Emoji series 

and 2 in the USA as crystal flag dispensers.

 

Interestingly, like last year, there were 

no new mini PEZ dispensers. 

However, PEZ released 6 new PEZ Clips for the market. 

 Popular Lines and New Additions!

Dispensers tied to beloved franchises 

such as Minions, SpongeBob, 

Hello Kitty, and The Lion King remain favorites 

with young audiences worldwide. 

 

This year, we were thrilled to see updated

 molds for the Minions, The Lion King, Donald and Daisy

and the SpongeBob dispensers.

 

Two completely new series were 

added to the lineup in 2024:

Minecraft (available in Europe starting 2025) and the

Mars-Space Mission dispensers. 

 

PEZ also expanded its Moana 

(available in Europe starting 2025) 

  series, proving once again 

that they know what collectors and fans want.

 

And please let’s not forget the fantastic new 

PEZ Presenter Girl, who never fails to 

make us freak out every single time!  

A Collectors Gift for you

To wrap things up, we’ve prepared three

 simplified pictorials for you. 

Feel free to print them out to ensure 

you’ve got a complete overview of the

 dispensers from this year—and to see which 

ones you’re still missing.

 

Cheers to a New Year

Now, Refrigerate your champagne and get ready

 to toast the arrival of the New Year!

 

Lastly, we’d like to express our heartfelt

 thanks for your loyalty and support. 

Thank you for visiting our blog throughout

 all the year's and to PEZ for keeping the 

excitement alive with fantastic releases.

 

Happy New Year, and take care PEZ PALZ! 

We’ll see you hopefully tomorrow when we

 kick off the year with a bang—a contest where

 you can win a 

Golden New Year dispenser! 

Stay tuned and happy collecting!
