Yesterday 01.25.25, I attended Fan Expo Portland 2025 with one main goal—getting 10 autographs—and I’m thrilled to say I succeeded! Every PEZ I brought was signed, and I couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out.
The first photo shows the full lineup of signed PEZ, followed by individual shots for a closer look at each one. It was such a blast! As always, every celebrity loved seeing the PEZ!Signed PEZ & Celebrity Encounters:
Velma & Webby PEZ - Kate Micucci
Kate, the voice of Velma (Scooby-Doo) and Webby (DuckTales reboot) is an incredibly talented comedian, and meeting her was awesome! Originally, I only had my Velma PEZ with me, but thanks to Kristin Brecher Pez Palz, who came in clutch by bringing me the Webby PEZ last-minute, I was able to get both signed! Huge shoutout to Kristin for saving the day!
Joker PEZ - Troy Baker Troy voices the Joker in many animated Batman movies, and he was seriously cool to meet—literally the only person wearing sunglasses indoors, which I have to respect. 😎 He even asked if he could add some flair to the autograph and threw in some HA HAs on the side! I love when signers add personal touches. Plus, he did his Joker voice, which was incredible!
Superman & Ben 10 PEZ - Yuri Lowenthal
Yuri voices Superman in Legion of Superheroes and has been the voice of Ben in every Ben 10 series beyond the first one. He had a speaker setup so fans could hear him easily, which was unique but worked well. Super nice guy!
Superman PEZ - George Newbern
George, the legendary voice of Superman in Justice League, is one of the most iconic Superman voices out there! I love that he managed to fit “Superman” and “Justice League” onto the PEZ stem somehow—such an awesome touch!
Wonder Woman, Flicker & Daphne - Grey DeLisleGrey
Voices Wonder Woman (DC Super Hero Girls), Flicker (Handy Manny), and Daphne (Scooby-Doo), along with a mind-blowing number of other characters! Meeting her was absolutely one of the best parts of the day. She’s a hugger, so I got a hug both when I met her and when I left, haha. I’ve wanted to meet her for so long, and she could not have been nicer!
Superman PEZ - Dean Cain
Dean, from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was beyond friendly—we had such a great conversation! Definitely tied for my favorite interaction of the day.
Boba Fett PEZ - Temuera Morrison
Temuera, the legendary Boba Fett from The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, was incredibly engaging. Before signing, he personally greeted everyone while his assistant got things set up, which I hadn’t seen before—it was a great touch! His line was the longest of the day, but totally worth it!
🦇Batman PEZ - David Giuntoli
David, who voices Batman in multiple animated films, was clearly under the weather, which made getting this signed a bit nerve-wracking. But he was super nice and even shook my hand (cue immediate trip to the hand sanitizer station, haha). So far, I’m still feeling fine—fingers crossed!🦸♂️
Superman PEZ - Tyler Hoechlin
Tyler, who plays Superman in Superman & Lois, was my first PEZ autograph of the day, and it was a fantastic way to kick things off!
🏀 Basketball PEZ - Corbin Bleu
Corbin, best known as Chad from High School Musical, was one of the celebrities I was most excited to meet! I have great childhood memories of HSM, and I also love watching him on Pictionary with my family. He was incredibly nice, and I even gave him some Pictionary strategy tips, haha! This is my first basketball PEZ for my sports movie PEZ collection—a perfect addition!
Overall, Fan Expo Portland 2025 was an absolute success! I’m beyond happy with all the signed PEZ and the incredible interactions I had. Can’t wait for the next show!
