MAGICAL NEW RELEASE! St. Patrick’s Day PEZ Dispenser 2025!

When PEZ first surprised us in 2020 with 
a limited-edition 
St. Patrick’s Day dispenser,
 it didn’t just create excitement, it sparked
 a full-blown frenzy in our collector communities!
 The hype was real, and those dispensers 
disappeared faster than a leprechaun’s pot of gold.
 Fast forward to today, and the 
St. Patrick’s Day PEZ dispenser has 
evolved into a cherished annual tradition. 
Each year, PEZ delights us with 
an exclusive online edition.
.

Thanks to us, you’re always ahead of the game! 
If you caught our post last week, you were 
among the first to learn about this year's 
St. Patrick’s Day dispenser.

By now, we know that new molds aren’t always
 in the cards, but let’s be real, PEZ continues to wow us 
year after year. 
From the charming Pal-Boys and the 
green Care Bear to the adorable green mascot,
the creativity has been 
nothing short of amazing.

But this year? PEZ has truly outdone itself!
 The surprise is spot on, and we couldn’t be 
more thrilled. 
 
We're tipping our green hats and giving
 PEZ a well-deserved standing ovation for 
an incredible St. Patrick’s Day release!

Transforming the already gorgeous 
Nutcracker dispenser into a St. Patrick’s Day edition? 
Pure genius! 
Of course, we’ve put together a pictorial 
of all St. Patrick’s Day PEZ dispensers 
released so far—because what’s a celebration 
without a touch of nostalgia?

New Hello Kitty dispensers are here!
Don't forget to order the new Hello Kitty dispensers now!

So, don’t wait! Snag this fantastic dispenser while you can.

Buzzing Creativity: A Slow-Motion Masterpiece in the Making By Sergio Blanco

Gonzalo Blanco treated us to the most delightful surprise:
an absolutely adorable video created by 
his talented son, Sergio. 

We couldn’t resist sharing this gem with all of you! 🌟 
To everyone out there who pours their creativity 
and love into making art with our beloved PEZ dispensers—
know that we ❤️❤️ each and every one of you! 
Keep spreading the magic! ✨
My son, Sergio Blanco, was in his final year of high school 
when his Audiovisual class assigned a slow-motion project. 
His brother, Marcos, had previously used a Playmobil figure 
for a similar project, so Sergio turned to me for ideas.
After learning what slow-motion involves, I suggested using 
the bees from my collection. What better story than capturing
 the moment a bee communicates to the others where to find pollen?
The process of moving each character centimeter by 
centimeter was painstaking, and it gave me a deep appreciation
 for those who create these intricate videos. To everyone out there 
making these kinds of masterpieces, 
my heartfelt congratulations—you have my utmost admiration!
-Gonzalo Blanco
Enjoy the video!
Bzzzzzzz....
Happy Pezzin!

NEW contest starts today! Enter to WIN Joe's PEZWEDGE's + More! 3 WINNERS! NOW CLOSED

CONTEST NOW CLOSED
A little over a year ago, I reached out to Joe and asked if he could create something to elevate my mini Barky’s so they would all be the same height in my cabinet. For some reason, the way they were arranged in the Barky section—alternating between tall and high—drove me nuts. I wanted them to be uniform, so I asked Joe if he could design something to solve the issue.
That’s how the Maximizer was born! I told him what I needed, and he brought it to life. When it was time to name it, my family and I gathered around, brainstorming different ideas until we landed on the perfect name. Joe refined the design to absolute perfection and has since created them in so many colors.

Joe is also the creator of the PEZWEDGE Original, Giant, Mini, Incline, and Brick. Ingenious creations designed to hold your PEZ open, perfectly showcasing autographs.

Fan Expo Portland 2025: My Ultimate PEZ Autograph Haul! By, D.j. Perlberg

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!

The Hunt for Disney Parks PEZ: A Collector’s Journey | Special Thanks to Bill M.

We always appreciate our readers for assisting others in 
finding PEZ dispensers as soon as they become available. 
A special thank you to Bill for sharing his experience with us.
 Here it is.

❤️ We are pleased to bring you the first 
HQ pictures of the Disney Parks PEZ ❤️
Our Disney Parks PEZ Hunt
We bought Disney Parks PEZ! Your report yesterday 
morning inspired my wife and me to drive down to Disney World, 
where we found the dispensers and purchased 
2 to 4 sets of the entire collection, which consists of five dispensers in 2025.

Where We Searched:
We only shopped in the Disney Springs complex, which is separate from the Disney Parks. Disney Springs is free to enter, and parking is also free. It houses what is likely the largest Disney retail store in the world—the World of Disney store. Additionally, Disney Springs has many smaller retail shops that seemed like potential locations for PEZ.
What We Found
We purchased one PEZ dispenser—Disney Parks Mickey Mouse with a soccer hat—at World of Disney. Considering the size of this store, we expected the entire Disney Parks PEZ collection to be available there, but Mickey was the only one we found.

Our best move was asking a cast member (Disney retail employee) if they knew where to find the new Disney Parks dispensers. She kindly checked inventory on her iPhone and directed us to Goofy’s Candy Company.

At Goofy’s Candy Company, we found and purchased the rest of the Disney Parks PEZ collection.
Observations:
Our experience is based solely on searching Disney Springs; we did not enter any Disney World theme parks. However, having visited all the Disney Parks over the years, we’ve learned a few things about finding PEZ at Disney:You won’t find a large PEZ display in any store.

PEZ is often displayed in secondary locations, taking a backseat to higher-priced, more profitable merchandise like Princess dolls. PEZ may not be available where you expect to find it. In 2019, we searched for the Disney Parks Slinky Dog dispenser but couldn't find it. A cast member checked inventory and informed us it was stocked at a smaller Disney resort hotel.

Not all cast members know what PEZ is—or where it’s located. Even if they recognize PEZ, they may not know where it’s stocked in their store.

Find a cast member with an iPhone connected to the store’s inventory system. They don’t need to know what PEZ is—they just need to search for it in the system. These employees are extremely helpful and can even retrieve stock from storage.
Disney stocks merchandise near similarly priced items. PEZ won’t be placed next to high-end collectibles or popular character-themed displays. For example, you might expect the Disney Parks Crystal Cinderella PEZ to be near other Cinderella or Princess merchandise, but it won’t be. It also won’t be next to candy bars or impulse-buy products.

Overall, persistence and knowing where to look
 (or who to ask) are key to finding PEZ at Disney!
Thank you Bill M. for sharing your experience with our readers. ❤️

Don't forget your Monorails!
Thanks to Pez4mefor the photo :)

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!
Happy Collecting!
