Fresh from PEZ Candy Inc: Barbie's Ken & Happy Pikachu Arrive! When Will Gengar and Eevee Arrive?

Exciting News for Our American PEZ Collector Friends!

Two brand-new PEZ dispensers have just arrived!

While the new Ken dispenser from the

 Barbie Collection 

recently launched in Europe – much to the delight

 of European collectors eagerly awaiting the three upcoming 

Barbie dispensers, (here more)

Ken

 is now also available online at 

PEZ Candy Inc for U.S. collectors!

(here)

But the real surprise? 

The brand-new  

Pokemon 

Happy Pikachu 

dispenser has just made its online debut

 at PEZ Candy too, and it’s available to order right now!

 

 

Pikachu’s Back – And Happier Than Ever!

 

This year’s PEZ Pokémon lineup includes not one,

 not two, 

but three new dispensers! 

(Click here to find out more!

 

While Europe will receive all three new 

Pokémon dispensers in a single exciting 

wave in just a few weeks,

 the U.S. release will be slightly staggered,

 with Gengar arriving first,

 followed by the new Eevee in a later wave.

 

And of course – as you've come to expect from us,

 we’ve prepared a PEZ Pokémon pictorial for

 you to explore and enjoy.

Mamacado PEZ Now in Europe! But Where’s Papacado Hiding?

Now that the new 

MAMACADO PEZ 

🥑💚

dispenser has made its way to most 

collectors in the US, it’s 

finally Europe’s turn!

European PEZ fans can now grab the Mamacado 

online at PEZ International. (here)

 As we mentioned before, the only real 

differences are the designs on the blister cards

 and the candies inside, the dispenser 

itself is exactly the same.

The Mamacado wasn’t actually released just 

for Mother’s Day, even though it’s a perfect fit.

PEZ is working on building a whole new 

"Celebrations" category for their online shops,

 so the Mamacado will be sticking around for a while!

(at least in Europe)

And honestly, we can show love to our 

awesome moms (and dads!) all year round, 

this dispenser is a great way to do it.

The perfect gift for baby showers and expectant mothers.

 

Still no official word about the Papacado!

 PEZ remains silent for now.

 
However, if you take a closer look at the

 two PEZ blister cards, you’ll notice that both

 feature avocado pairs.

 
Looking even closer: the American

 blister card shows the exact Mamacado design,

 and the second design, at 99.9% certainty,

 hints at what the Papacado will look like.

 
Considering that PEZ is focusing heavily on pairs 

this year

 (Valentine's Bears, Valentine's Stitch, the gendered bears) 

possibly also to help optimize production costs,

 it’s highly likely that the matching Papacado 

will soon be released as an  

exclusive online-only dispenser!

With these online exclusives, 

PEZ manages to reach a broader audience

 and introduce new releases at a faster pace, 

keeping the excitement and buying 

enthusiasm alive in the long run.

 

Sadly not official,  

our imagination ran a little wild, 

we even created two additional 

dispensers using Photoshop!

 

We would love to see the Avocado family grow,

 and who knows, 

 maybe the creative minds at PEZ will love our

 idea enough to make it a reality one day.

 :)

BABYCADO NOT REAL! made in PHOTOSHOP!

Finally, we’re left with one last question:
Where should we place the Mama-and Papacado

 dispensers in our collection?

 

With the Treats Collection or in the  

Mother’s & Father’s Day section?
What do you think, where do they belong?

Sour Power Incoming: Ready for Round Two? VMI Sports Drops Hints for PEZ SZN 2

 Just a few weeks ago, VMI Sports launched 

their ready-to-drink K-XR RTD pre-workouts

 in collaboration with PEZ, featuring the iconic

 PEZ flavors: 

Orange, Cherry, and Grape, 

all wrapped in the classic PEZ-inspired design.

 

Now, VMI Sports is teasing the next chapter 

of their partnership with PEZ, calling it SZN 2. 

 

A new teaser image was released just days ago, 

confirming the first new flavor: 

PEZ Sours Green Apple. 

 Rumors are already swirling that 

PEZ Sour Blue Raspberry 

will be joining the lineup soon, 

with a second image likely dropping in the near future.

 

We’re curious – have you had the chance to try

 the drinks already,

 or are you collecting them just for display? 

  It's excited to see what SZN 2 brings, 

and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as 

more details are released.

Euro Release Scoop: Mamacado PEZ Drops Soon & New Barbie PEZ Trio on the Horizon!

Over the past few days, we've received many

 questions, and sometimes even for us, 

things aren't immediately clear. 

That’s why we can only share information 

once we have official confirmations.

 

Yesterday, to everyone's surprise, 

PEZ Candy Inc. launched (here) the adorable 

online-exclusive Mamacado PEZ dispenser. 

This led many European PEZ fans and collector

s to wonder whether this dispenser would

 also be available in the European online shop.

 We can now reassure you, 

YES

 the Mamacado dispenser will soon be available

 to all European collectors as an online exclusive.

As already known, 

the only differences from the American version 

will be the blister card and the PEZ candies, 

the dispenser itself will be exactly the same.

 

And no need to panic: 

just like the Boy and Girl Gender Bear dispensers, 

this one is planned to be available over a longer 

period of time.

Ken is finally joining the Barbie PEZ line-up.

 Last week, it was time for European PEZ collectors

 to get their hands on him (available here). 

But at the same time, many of us were wondering: 

what about the three new Barbie dispensers?

 

We’ve got an answer for you. PEZ International still 

has stock of the previous Barbie models, 

and once that inventory has been sold

 and shipped out, the new versions will gradually be 

introduced into the range. 

But it looks like it’ll still be a little while before we can 

get our hands on the new Barbie dispensers.

On that note, it’s also worth mentioning that 

Ken 

will soon 

be available in American stores as well. 

As for the PEZ Barbies, the previous year’s models 

will remain in the line-up for now. The three new 

Barbie dispensers will (for now) only 

be released in European stores.

 And finally—everyone is wondering: 

after Mamacado, will there be a PEZ dad-ocado coming too? 

All we’ve gotten from PEZ so far is a smiley face.

 But considering this year has brought us several

 "couples" 

like Valentine’s Stitch and the gender Bear duo, 

we strongly suspect that PEZ still has a 

daddy figure up their sleeve.

Happy Collecting!

Collectors Call Me TV! Lights, Camera, PEZ! A Visit with Lisa Whelchel & Shawn Peterson

It finally happened!

Lisa Whelchel took us on a trip to the

 PEZ Visitor Center in a fantastic episode 

of Collector’s Call on MeTV, 

joined by none other than 

PEZ expert Shawn Peterson.

As a special guest, John LaSpina joined in 

on the fun, and at the end of the show, 

he surprised Shawn with a truly unique

 trading proposal!

 

For those unfamiliar with Shawn: 

he caught the PEZ bug many years ago

 and never looked back. 

A passionate collector, author of several PEZ books,  

and longtime member of the PEZ Candy Inc. team,

 Shawn now serves as the manager of the 

PEZ Visitor Center in Connecticut, USA.

Amazingly, 99% of the collection on display at 

the Visitor Center comes from Shawn’s own personal trove.

 The place is pure magic—like stepping into 

a real-life Wonderland for any PEZ fan!

Shawn shared that they filmed for a full 11 hours

 to create the final 30-minute Collector’s Call episode.

 

Of course, many of you are wondering

 about that special dispenser featured on the show. 

Unfortunately, we’ve got some bittersweet news: 

it was a custom mock-up made just for 

the episode and won’t be available for sale. 

One carded version was gifted to Lisa, 

and the loose one—signed by her—is now proudly

 displayed at the Visitor Center.

We’re absolutely thrilled that Shawn has once

 again brought our beloved hobby into the spotlight.

Happy Collecting!

New Designs Unveiled! All the Pictures! Get Ready for the New Mario and Toad PEZ Dispensers!

At the beginning of this year, we already 
teased the upcoming redesign of the Mario
 and Toad PEZ dispensers with a post. 

(here)

As we’re sure many of our collector friends will

 have questions over the coming months 

about the differences between the old 

and new dispensers, we are thrilled to share

 the first official details and images with you.First things first, both our European and 

American PEZ collectors 

can look forward to these two dispensers!

A completely new mold has been created, 

with Mario’s head now significantly larger 

than the previous version. 

He features a new shaped hat, thin eyebrows, a wide smile, 

a rounder chin, and a redesigned kicker.

Toad has also received a new mold, 

and his head is now noticeably smaller 

than the previous model, with a molded smile 

and an unpainted neck.

These two dispensers will be added to
 the existing Super Mario collection.
 This means that we can start organizing
 our Super Mario PEZ collection to make
 room for these exciting new additions!

However, it will still take a little while before 
we can officially add them to our collections.

Of course, we’ve also created
 a Super Mario pictorial for you.

Now Available in the U.S.! New Naruto PEZ Dispensers Take the Spotlight

While all eyes were on the new 

Easter Online Special "Chick in Egg" PEZ,

 and our American friends were eagerly 

anticipating the adorable little chick,

 it seems that today won’t be the day for it.

 

Instead, PEZ Candy Inc. has just added the 

highly anticipated Naruto dispensers to their shop, 

meaning there will likely be no Easter special this week.

The new Naruto PEZ dispensers featuring 

the main character  

Naruto, 

as well as  

Sakura 

and  

Sasuke, 

are now available directly from PEZ online.

(here)

 

Additionally, a special Naruto PEZ Twin Pack 

featuring Naruto and Sasuke is also available. 

It's great that PEZ fans everywhere now 

have the opportunity to add these 

amazing dispensers to their collections!
