From Austria with Love: Hello Kitty PEZ Exclusive Debuts at Osaka World Expo🎀

🎉 Back in late March, we gave you an 
exclusive first look at the brand-new Hello Kitty, 
Austria Composing the Future – a PEZ International 
exclusive created especially for the WKO 
Austrian Pavilion at the 
World Expo in Osaka, Japan. 
(Feel free to check out our original post here! 📲)

✨ Now, we're thrilled to announce that the
 Hello Kitty dispenser is officially available
 for purchase at the Expo! 🎊
 
As we mentioned in our first post, 
PEZ International has produced a substantial
 quantity of over 10,000+ dispensersfor this event.
 But what many of you are probably most curious
 about is the price at which it’s being sold at the Expo. 💸 
 
Here’s how it breaks down:
✈️ The biggest expense will likely be your travel
 to Osaka (especially by plane).
 
🎟️ To enter the Expo, visitors need to purchase 
a day ticket, which costs 7,500 yen (Adults) 
- approximately 52 USD.
Once inside, make your way to the Austrian Pavilion 🇦🇹 
 the only place where this 
special dispenser is being sold. 
Compared to the cost of getting there and 
the entrance fee, the dispenser itself is a 
bargain at just 1,200 yen - 9 USD🧁 

For most of us collectors, cost likely won’t
 be the deciding factor, we all want this 
unique dispenser in our collections 💖,
 and that means sharing in the effort 
(and expense) to make it happen. 🤝

We sincerely hope our friends in Japan 🇯🇵 
can help us get our hands on this special edition! 🤞

To everyone attending the Expo: 
have a fantastic time 🎏, and we’re glad you're 
also getting a chance to learn more about Austria 🇦🇹.

Happy Collecting! 🐾🎀🍬
Thank you Toshihiro for the pictrues ;)

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!

USA: very soon!

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."
Austrian Pavilion at the Osaka 2025 World Expo, picture from Bundesministerium Arbeit und Wirtschaft

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.

Shine like a Star, glow like a Legend! Surprise of the Year: The Return of the Glow in the Dark PEZ Dispenser!

Without a doubt, this will go down as the
 biggest surprise of the year, 
and likely remain so for months to come. 

For years, we’ve eagerly hoped and wished
 for the return of the 
Glow in the Dark PEZ dispensers, and now,
 that dream has finally come true!

PEZ has blown us away by releasing not one,
 but two new dispensers, along with entirely
 new molds for the Disney Parks collection. 

But the true star of the show?

 The Glow in the Dark Ghost dispenser! 
Our excitement is still through the roof,
 and it’s safe to say this is a moment fans 
will cherish for a long time.

To keep the joy alive, 
we’ve prepared another picture for you, 
showcasing this incredible dispenser in action! 

When lit up, the Glow in the Dark Ghost 
truly comes to life and shines beautifully in the dark.

We’re eagerly hoping for many more Glow in the Dark PEZ dispensers... perhaps PEZ will make this wish come true for us a few more times!

A huge thank you to Adam B. for sharing this 
amazing photo with us!
Happy Collecting!

A Magical Surprise from PEZ: Two More Disney Parks Dispensers! New Mold, Glow in the Dark!

It was probably the best-kept secret at 
PEZ Candy Inc. Not a single word
 leaked—until now! The secret is out, 
and we couldn't be more thrilled to finally 
share the pictures with you.
 
Just a few weeks ago, when we first laid 
eyes on the five new Disney Parks dispensers, 
we were already beyond excited,
especially about the Crystal PEZ Cinderella,
 created in a unique version for her 75th anniversary. 
We thought nothing could top that moment.
But PEZ has done it again! They continue to
 surprise and amaze us in the best possible way.
 
The Disney Parks series is expanding
 with two sensational new dispensers. PEZ 
has even created two brand-new molds, 
one of which is a Glow in the Dark dispenser!
(USA-Disney Parks only)
 OMG! We’ve been wishing for the return 
of Glow in the Dark dispensers for so long,
 and now PEZ has made our dreams come true!

Let's talk about these incredible new dispensers:

 Figment 
 the beloved Disney character and mascot 
of the Imagination! pavilion at Epcot in Walt Disney World. 
This small purple dragon embodies
 boundless creativity and fun!
 
 The Haunted Mansion Ghost  
a spooky Glow in the Dark dispenser inspired 
by one of Disney's most iconic attractions.
 
 
We are absolutely in love with
 these new additions! 
Of course, we've updated our pictorials
 and prepared all the images for you. 
 Now, the only challenge is figuring out how
 to get our hands on these dispensers,
but the excitement makes everything else fade away!
And one last thought… we wouldn’t be
surprised if another Glow in the Dark dispenser,
perhaps an online exclusive, 
appears later this year. 
Now that PEZ has brought them back, 
we can only hope for more!
 
PEZ, are you listening? 
We want more Glow in the Dark dispensers!
:) PLEASE :)

Happy Collecting! 🎉
