When PEZ International released its product
and sales catalog for this year back in January,
European PEZ collectors were treated
to an impressive lineup of new releases (more on that here).
Among the many surprises was the return of the
XXL dispensers to the European market,
known in the United States as “Giants.
Now the large Stitch dispenser, which debuted in the U.S. |
at the end of last year, is finally being offered
to European fans as well.
And what a perfect character choice!
Stitch has long been a fan favorite across generations.
Since Disney’s Lilo & Stitch first appeared,
the mischievous yet lovable blue alien has
captured hearts worldwide.
His playful personality, expressive design, and
continued popularity in the Disney universe
make him an ideal character for an oversized PEZ dispenser.
In XXL format, Stitch’s distinctive features,
especially those big ears and that cheeky grin,
really stand out and make a strong visual impact.
The only differences compared to the American
version are the expected ones:
the name (Giants in the U.S., XXL in Europe),
the packaging design, and naturally the quantity
and variety of included PEZ candies.
As always, these regional variations add an
extra layer of interest for dedicated
collectors who appreciate such details.
The XXL Stitch dispenser is available now
for European collectors (here)
and also makes a fantastic gift.
For those in the U.S. who may have missed
out on the initial release, it is still available
through the official PEZ Candy online shop (see here).
There’s no doubt about it, the large Stitch dispenser
is an absolute eye-catcher in any collection.
Happy Collecting!
