Crystal Glitter! A Sparkling Easter Surprise: The Exclusive PEZ Chick in Egg Dispenser!

 Even though we speculated for a while 

about which PEZ dispenser would be

 chosen as this year's online-exclusive Easter release,

 the wait is finally over!

This year, the surprise is—drumroll—a stunning 

Easter egg! 

 

And not just any egg—PEZ has outdone itself 

with the Chick in Egg dispenser. 

 

It’s something truly special: 

the first-ever PEZ Easter egg in crystal! 

The shimmering glitter inside makes it even 

more perfect and beautiful.

The adorable chick breaking out of its shell 

showcases PEZ’s creativity, making 

this egg stand out from all its predecessors. 

While the first three PEZ Easter eggs in 2012 

didn’t immediately win our hearts, over the years, 

these seasonal releases have become 

cherished collectibles.

With this new addition, PEZ is bringing 

us a total of eight new dispensers for this 

Easter season—an impressive lineup! 

 

Our PEZ Easter egg collection has now grown 

to 20 unique eggs, and with the Chick in Egg,

 we finally have our 

first crystal PEZ egg in the collection.

🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣

 

Now, we just have to wait for it to arrive 

so we can complete our Easter lineup 

and check off this year’s PEZ Easter collection!

Of course, we’ve prepared plenty of photos and pictorials for you!

We’ve put together a pictorial featuring 

all of this year’s new PEZ dispensers, 

as well as a special PEZ Easter egg pictorial.

 Plus, we’ve also included a look back at the  

online-exclusive Easter dispensers 

 from previous years. Enjoy! 🎉📸

 

 Our American PEZ collector friends will 

have to be a little more patient, 

but the most important thing is that you’ll 

soon have the chance to order this amazing

 little chick online as well!

Austria meets Japan! Special Hello Kitty PEZ for the World Expo 2025 in Osaka-Japan...

Today, we have prepared something truly 

special for you once again. 

We are delighted to give you an exclusive First Look at a

 fantastic new PEZ dispenser.

However, to give you deeper insight into the 

story, origins, and facts surrounding this special 

PEZ dispenser, we need to take a step back.

 Expo 2025 – Osaka-Kansai, Japan

The World Expo 2025 will take place from April 13, 2025, 

to October 13, 2025, in Osaka-Kansai, Japan. 

The central theme of the Expo is 

"Designing Future Society for Our Lives."

What is a World Expo?

A World Expo, is an international event where

 countries and global organizations showcase their 

latest innovations, developments, and achievements.

The concept of a World Expo was born out of a

 desire to present a nation’s industrial progress

 and technological advancements to the world. 

The first Expo was held in 1851 in London and 

featured a wide range of groundbreaking inventions, 

including the first typewriter, the first toothbrush, 

and the first steam locomotive.

How is a host city selected?

The host city was chosen on November 23, 2018,
by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). 

Competing bids came from 

Yekaterinburg (Russia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Osaka (Japan)

and Paris (France).

Why Osaka, Japan?
On November 22, 2016, France submitted 
Paris as a candidate for Expo 2025 to the BIE. 
This triggered the official bidding process, 
giving other cities six months to submit their proposals. 
The deadline for applications closed on May 22, 2017, 
with four candidates:

• Japan – Osaka

• Azerbaijan – Baku

• Russia – Yekaterinburg

• France – Paris

However, France withdrew its bid on January 21,
 2018, citing financial concerns.

During the 164th BIE General Assembly on 

November 23, 2018, Osaka won the bid in the

 second round of voting. In the first round, Baku 

was eliminated with only 23 votes, 

while Osaka received 85 votes and Yekaterinburg 48 votes.

 In the final round, Osaka triumphed with 92 votes

 to Yekaterinburg’s 61

Incredible Facts About the World Expo 2025

The 155-hectare Expo site is located on the artificial Yumeshima Island, 10 kilometers from downtown Osaka.

This is Osaka’s second World Expo, following the Expo 1970.

158 countries are participating, with around 40 countries building their own pavilions.

Over 28 million visitors are expected, along with participation from 
158+ countries and 25 international organizations.

Austria Meets Japan

As Austria’s fourth-largest overseas market and second-most 
important trade partner in Asia (after China), 
Japan’s role as the host of Expo 2025 holds great 
significance for Austria.

The Expo is more than just an event—it is a unique
 opportunity to strengthen Austria’s outstanding 
relations with Japan in the fields of business, science, and culture.

Austria’s Contribution – "Composing the Future"

Music serves as a bridge between 
Austrian and Japanese culture. 

Austrian classical music is particularly beloved in Japan. 

That’s why Austria’s pavilion at Expo 2025 embraces a musical interpretation of the Expo’s theme 
"Designing Future Society for Our Lives"—
under the slogan 
"Composing the Future."

The Austrian Pavilion, part of the 
"Empowering Lives" segment, features a 
visually spectacular spiral wooden sculpture that, 
upon closer inspection, reveals itself to be a 

giant musical staff. 

This design serves as both the highlight and 
guiding element of the exhibition.

The centerpiece of the pavilion is the Dome of the Future, 

where visitors can engage with the concept 

of the future through interactive elements. 

Guests influence the exhibition’s content and contribute

 to an AI-generated visual and auditory experience.

In line with the theme "Composing the Future,

" this futuristic composition emphasizes that 

Austria offers more than just music and culture,

it presents itself as a diverse, modern nation that 

respects its traditions while embracing innovation

WKO - AUSTRIA & PEZ 

This marks the second special PEZ dispenser created for Japan.

After PEZ produced the red, white, and red PEZ mascot 

with the Advantage Austria logo on the stem for the 

Austrian Economic Chamber’s China Connect 2024 event 

last year in a super limited edition, and only a few 

of these dispensers made it into collections, 

another special dispenser is now coming.

(you can read more about it here.)

For the current World Expo, 

PEZ and the Austrian Economic Chamber have 

come up with something truly special. 

The 

Hello Kitty 

PEZ dispenser was chosen, 

as Hello Kitty has conquered the world from 

Japan over 50 years ago. 

The colors, with the red bow, white head, and red stem,

 reflect the national colors of Austria, making this 

dispenser the perfect symbol to connect Austria and Japan.

The "Austria Composing the Future" print on the
 stem perfectly complements the slogan 
for the expo. 
A special compliment also goes to Sanrio, the licensor 
of Hello Kitty, for enabling this special version.

The dispenser will definitely be available at the 
Austrian Pavilion at the expo, and with 
10,000 dispensers being produced, 
hopefully, more of them will find their way into

 collections this time.

 We can already see some PEZ collectors 

looking for flights to Osaka, and surely some of our Japanese 

PEZ friends will also make their way to Osaka.

We wish all exhibitors, participants and visitors a lot 

of fun and success at the expo.

Happy Collecting!

Austria PEZ over the years. Thank you Momo for the pictures.

PEZ Debuts Gender Bears: Collectible Treasures for Baby's First Welcome

Gender reveals have become a 

cherished tradition, and creating unique,

 memorable gifts for newborns has 

always been our passion. 

While we've incorporated countless baby 

essentials into our gift creations over the years,

 we felt something was missing, 

a touch of whimsy and nostalgia.

A PEZ dispenser would be the perfect addition. 

Though a newborn won't use it right away, 

their very first PEZ dispenser would become

 a heartfelt keepsake, combining the joy of collecting

 with the magic of welcoming a new life.

And now, PEZ has made this dream a reality

 with their delightful new PEZ Gender Bears!

Always innovating for their devoted 

collectors and fans, PEZ has created 

something truly special. 

 

These charming bears come in two

 enchanting designs: a pink version featuring

 "It's a Girl" 

on the stem and a blue version with 

"It's a Boy." 

Available exclusively online (here) (USA)

these dispensers 

are perfect for celebrating a little one's arrival.

These Gender Bears have quickly 

become beloved additions to birth announcements

 and baby showers. 

Their classic pink and blue colors complement 

any celebration, whether used as eye-catching

 table decorations, creative cake toppers,

 or thoughtful standalone gifts.

With these adorable new additions 

to their collection, PEZ continues to capture

 hearts and create lasting memories.

The back of the package includes a To/From section to personalize your gift.

EUROPEAN COLLECTORS...

can also look forward

 to the sweet bears soon, as they will appear

 in the online shop from PEZ International as well. 

Just a little more patience is needed!

Buzzing with Excitement: The New PEZ Alien Takes Collectors by Storm!

After PEZ International introduced 

their product catalog with this year's new releases 

(you can find our post about it here), 

two dispensers from the new lineup 

immediately caught our attention. 

On the one hand, the new 

Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos pumpkin, 

and on the other, we were absolutely thrilled

 about the new PEZ 

ALIEN, 

which will be added to 

the Space/Mars Mission collection by the end of the year.

The same reactions can be found in the 

PEZ communities, where the Alien has 

unquestionably left the biggest impression. 

Everyone seems to be most excited about the Alien!

A funny anecdote here is that the Alien was on

 the discussion list at PEZ until the very last 

moment, and was almost scrapped.

But why are we all so excited about the PEZ Alien?

The fact that aliens are mysterious 

and otherworldly makes them inherently 

fascinating and special, but also a bit terrifying. 

Since there's no definitive scientific proof of their

 existence, they remain an unsolved puzzle.

While the regular PEZ collection is designed with 

a childlike charm, the Alien stands out because 

it's a bit more mystical and different, 

which is exactly why it's so intriguing to us.

We’re curious to know why the Alien resonates so 

much with all of you and why it excites you so much?

For us, the possibilities are endless!

Just imagine if PEZ were to release a 

glow-in-the-dark 

version of the Alien, 

OMG!, we would probably lose it! 

We can dream, right? 

And sometimes dreams do come true 😉

Happy Collecting!
