Buzz, Woody & Jessie Are Back! The New Toy Story PEZ Dispensers!

Earlier this month, PEZ Candy USA surprised 

collectors by announcing brand-new  

Toy Story PEZ dispensers 

on their social media channels, 

along with an exciting first look at the upcoming release.

 

Shortly thereafter, PEZ International (Europe) 

 followed with the official presentation of 

the dispensers in their newly released  

Marketing & Sales Catalogue, giving fans a more 

detailed preview of what’s coming.

 

The Toy Story franchise is one of the 

most successful animated series of all time.

 The films resonate with both children 

and adults by addressing surprisingly complex

 themes such as loss, identity, and growing up, 

capturing hearts all around the world.

This June, the long-awaited fifth installment

 of Toy Story will finally arrive in cinemas. 

Expectations are high that it will once again break records.

 

 The new film explores the theme

 “Toy Meets Tech”, 

as the toys face their greatest challenge yet: 

competition from electronic devices. 

Bonnie, now eight years old, increasingly neglects

 her classic toys in favor of a new frog-shaped 

tablet called Lilypad

 

We are absolutely delighted that PEZ has

 once again secured the Toy Story license, 

bringing these beloved characters back 

into the world of PEZ collecting.

 

We have now received high-quality images

 of the new Toy Story dispensers, 

and we’re thrilled to present the 

dispensers to you in all their glory. 

Right from the start, it’s clear that all three characters, 

Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Jessie, 

feature completely new molds, and they look fantastic.

 

PEZ has chosen the popular head-only dispenser design.

The heads are impressively large, well detailed, 

and all three dispensers look outstanding.

 

The new dispensers are scheduled for release

in the second quarter in both the U.S. and Europe. 

 Of course, we’ve also prepared a complete

 Toy Story PEZ pictorial, featuring all 

dispensers released to date (without variations), 

a must-have overview for every collector.

 Happy Collecting!

PEZ Plushies? The Image That Set the Collector Community on Fire!

Yesterday, even we were completely surprised 

when PEZ International shared a photo on their

 social media channels featuring a 

PEZ Astronaut dispenser from the Mars Mission series, alongside 

a pink PEZ Candy reimagined as a plush toy.

The entire community went absolutely wild!

We would have snatched those two adorable plushies 

out of their hands immediately if we could have.

 

After the initial excitement and heart-eyes all around, 

the questions started pouring in:

Will these plush toys actually be produced?
Will we be able to order them?
When will they be available?

So many questions were on everyone’s mind.

We reached out to PEZ on your behalf, 

and now we have the answers.

 

 Unfortunately, the news we’re about to 

share isn’t quite as joyful.

 

Plush toys have been incredibly trendy lately, 

not just since Labubu, 

with new social media trends popping up constantly. 

 

One of these is the “Mini-Me” trend, 

where users create 3D plush versions of themselves

 using AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, or specialized apps.

 

It turns out that PEZ surprised us yesterday

 with exactly this kind of trend. 

The image that caused such a stir is, 

sadly, only an AI-generated image. 

And honestly, it is unbelievably well done.

 It would have worked perfectly as an April Fool’s joke.

  As much as it pains us to say it, no matter 

how badly we want them, 

it looks like we won’t be able to get our hands

 on these sweet plushies, at least for now.

 

However, there is still a small spark of hope. 

Even the marketing team at PEZ loves the AI-generated image.

With PEZ’s 100th anniversary coming up next year,

 and the marketing experts already 

searching for special ideas to celebrate 

this milestone, perhaps we can dare to hope

 for a cuddly PEZ plush in the future.

PEZ Brings Back a Regular Valentine’s Day Assortment for Europe!

The trend clearly shows that Valentine’s Day, 

February 14, is becoming increasingly popular 

in European retail as well, 

with many people looking for small tokens

 of affection to express their feelings.

For many years now, more precisely, 

since 2013, PEZ International has not offered

 a regular standard Valentine’s Day assortment. 

During this period, European PEZ collectors 

only had the option of purchasing the Valentine’s Day 

dispensers as online exclusives.

As of this year, that is finally changing.

With the release of the new limited

Online Exclusive Alien Valentine’s Day PEZ dispenser,

PEZ is once again introducing a regular Valentine’s Day

assortment into its product range.

European collectors can now order the

Purple Hugging Crystal Heart and

the Valentine’s Happy Crystal Heart online,

both designs that were previously available

only in the United States.

 
PEZ has also thought of candy lovers. 

With the new Candy Love Mix, featuring the flavors, 

cherry, strawberry, raspberry, and grape, PEZ is offering 

its most popular varieties in a single package. 

All of this is presented on a newly designed 

Valentine’s Day

 “Better Together” 

PEZ blister card.

The complete Valentine’s Day PEZ assortment from

 PEZ International is now available to order online. (here)

We are truly delighted by this new regular 

Valentine’s Day PEZ range. 

It finally gives European PEZ collectors something

 special to look forward to when choosing 

gifts for their loved ones.

Summer Just Got Sweeter: NEW Watermelon PEZ Arrives in Europe 🍉🍬

Last week, PEZ Candy Inc. surprised 

American collectors with a super 

summery treat – the Watermelon🍉 PEZ dispenser! 

And now it’s Europe’s turn to celebrate, 

because as we hinted earlier, the 

Watermelon dispenser is finally available 

online for European collectors too!

Just like in the US, the dispenser design is 

the same – fun, colorful, and totally summer-ready. 

But here’s the twist: while the US version comes 

with the well-known Sour Watermelon candies, 

PEZ International has created a brand-new 

Melon flavored candy just for this release. 

It's a fresh take that’s sure to make global 

PEZ candy collectors especially excited!

Big kudos to PEZ International – 

the new candies are seriously delicious 

and a real treat for the collection.

But enough from us – it’s time to 

grab yours while they’re still available!

Happy Collecting and

 Enjoy the Summer Vibes! 🍬🌞

European PEZ collectors had the first chance to grab it.

 

 Now, it’s time for our American PEZ friends!

As we’ve seen in the past, the only difference

 with this U.S. release is the blister card design

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!

The best PEZ surprises are the ones

 textile retailer KIK, 

the Hello Kitty Maxi Bag is now available

Hello Kitty PEZ Assortments for 2025: A Sneak Peek and Update on Collectible Releases

Back in October, we shared an exclusive sneak

 peek of the 2025 European 

Hello Kitty Rainbow PEZ assortment. 

Now, the three adorable Hello Kitty dispensers 

are finally available at PEZ International (Europe)!

(here)

While PEZ Candy Inc. (USA) has a separate
 Hello Kitty PEZ collection for the 
American market, accompanied 

by an image that caused a bit of confusion,

we thought it was the perfect time 
to give you an overview of the 

different Hello Kitty PEZ assortments.

 

European PEZ Collectors:

European PEZ collectors can now order the following three dispensers online:

The Rainbow Kitty: 

Featuring a white bow on a light blue stem.

The Classic Kitty: 

Mounted on a purple stem with a print of white 

 Hello Kitty heads along the stem.

The Hello Kitty with a Crystal 

 Blue Rainbow Bow: 

This design perfectly complements the blue stem 

of the Rainbow Kitty dispenser.

American PEZ Collectors

American PEZ collectors can look soon forward

 to the following Hello Kitty dispensers:
Kuromi: 
Featuring a black jester’s hat adorned with 

a pink skull and a playful black devil’s tail. 

PEZ has created an entirely new dispenser

 and mold for this design.
My Melody:
 Returning, albeit in the 2005 design. 

While this dispenser has been reactivated, 

there’s a chance there may be slight color 

differences from the original version, 

which could make it a potential variant.
The Purple Hello Kitty: 
Both American and European markets will see this dispenser. 

However, there was some confusion when an

 image of the dispenser was mistakenly shown 

in maroon for the U.S. market.

 Rest assured, the dispenser will be available 

in purple for U.S. collectors as well, 

and the maroon version will not be released, 

nor is it planned for the future.

More Hello Kitty Fun Ahead!

Make room in your Hello Kitty PEZ collection because 
PEZ Candy Inc. has even more exciting 
releases planned for later this year. 
After many years, a new Hello Kitty Gift Tin 
will be released this September! 
Both the dispensers and the tin will be wonderful, with new molds, including My Melody, and a second new mold planned. 
Plus, all the dispensers will feature a lovely stem print.

But, we’ll have to be patient as the first official images of 

this collection will likely be revealed at the Sweets and Snacks Expo 

when the new Hello Kitty Tin is officially introduced to the public.

Until then, enjoy the current dispensers and the 
two new Hello Kitty Twin boxes! (USA only)
