New PEZ Arrivals in the USA: Alien & Super Mario Updates!

Great news for our American PEZ collector friends! 

You now have the chance to add  

two fantastic new dispensers to your collections.

The PEZ Alien Has Landed in the U.S.

After announcing last year that 

the Alien dispenser would be available

 online only through the PEZ Candy USA shop, 

the wait is finally over, 

the PEZ Alien has officially landed in America.

You’ve waited long enough, 

and now this outstanding piece is 

finally available on your side of the Atlantic. 

A must-have addition for any serious PEZ enthusiast.

Updates to the Super Mario PEZ Line!

We also reported last year on exciting 

updates to the Super Mario PEZ range. 

Both Mario and Toad received completely new molds, 

and now the new Mario dispenser is finally 

available for American collectors as well.

  If you’d like to learn more about the updated

 Mario and Toad molds and see our detailed photos, 

feel free to click through to our full feature.(here)

Coming later this year: NEW Donkey Kong!

There’s even more to look forward to this year. 

A brand-new  

Donkey Kong dispenser 

will be joining the Super Mario lineup, 

complete with an updated mold. 

Images have not yet been released, but we’re keeping

a close eye on it and will share updates 

as soon as they become available.

  Don’t miss out, grab the two new dispensers

 now and secure them for your collection.(here)

 

European collectors can also order them, 

although we suspect many of you have 

already added these pieces to your displays.(here)

Happy Collecting!

What's coming up next? The Next Online Exclusive PEZ Drop Is Closer Than You Think...

It has now been almost five weeks since

PEZ last delighted collectors with the fantastic

 online exclusive dispenser, the Valentine’s Alien.

We are more than ready for something new, 

and fortunately, the next surprises are already

 just around the corner. 

While everything is, of course, still strictly confidential, 

we have been making a few inquiries on 

your behalf and are excited to share some 

great news with you.

If you prefer to be completely surprised, 

this is your cue to stop reading now.

St. Patrick’s Day, A Green Tradition Continues!

Expect the Unexpected!

When March 17, 2026 arrives and the world
 turns green once again, 
with Irish music filling the air, Saint Patrick's Day
will be celebrated worldwide.

Since 2021, it has become a tradition for PEZ to join 
the festivities with a special themed dispenser, 
always featuring that unmistakable green
touch collectors love.

This year is no exception!

Of course, no new mold will be introduced, instead, 

PEZ has opted to creatively rework an existing dispenser.

And as every seasoned collector knows, 

PEZ wouldn’t be PEZ if they didn’t manage 

to surprise us with something unexpected.

We are genuinely excited about the idea and
 concept behind this release. 

The surprise factor will definitely be there!

Easter 2026

Halloween, Christmas, and Easter are cornerstone 
dates in the PEZ collector calendar, occasions when 
we can usually count on a very special 
online exclusive release.

Over the past few years, 
Easter releases have certainly kept our pulse racing. 

This year, PEZ is already offering three brand-new 
Easter eggs in the standard easter PEZ assortment.

(here more)

After last year’s wonderful online exclusive 
Crystal Sparkling Chick in Egg, many collectors
 might assume another egg is on the way.

We can now reveal: there will definitely not 
be an egg as this year’s online exclusive Easter dispenser.

That’s all we’re saying for now, but rest assured, 
PEZ has prepared something truly charming once again.

Presenter Girl #12 Is Coming!

Collectors of the beloved Presenter Girls series should
 make room in their displays, something new is on the way.

The Presenter Girls collection has grown
 to 11 different variations, featuring a wide 

range of colors and design elements. 
And this year, the family expands once more.

Number 12 is already waiting in the wings and 
will soon be available online. 

As with previous releases, high demand, and perhaps 
a bit of collector hysteria, is almost guaranteed.

All of this is coming very soon!
The anticipation is building, and as always, 
the excitement within the collector community 
continues to grow. 

We can hardly wait to see these new 
PEZ dispensers officially unveiled.

The XXL Stitch PEZ Dispenser Arrives in Europe!

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!

Hello Kitty & Friends! Strawberry Kitty, Cinnamoroll, My Melody & Kuromi.New Dispensers Released!

They’re finally here, 

so make some space in your display cases! 

 

Several new 

Hello Kitty PEZ dispensers 

have been released, and we’d like to give collectors

 a quick overview of what’s available and where.
We’ve also prepared a pictorial to help 

identify the new releases more easily.

Strawberry Hello Kitty

Dressed in her classic red outfit, 

this version features cute printed strawberries 

on the stem, and yes, the Hello Kitty logo 

 is there as well.
This dispenser is now available in Europe.

 Our American PEZ collector friends will need 

a little more patience, as it won’t be 

released in the U.S. until March.

Cinnamoroll 

Cinnamoroll first appeared last year in the U.S. 

as part of the special Hello Kitty Tin edition, 

featuring printed clouds on the stem.
Now Cinnamoroll returns in a new version 

without stem printing and is available in Europe.
In the U.S., this dispenser will also be available in March.

MY MELODY

The new My Melody dispenser has been available in

 the U.S. since the end of last year.
Now European PEZ collectors finally have the 

chance to add this beautiful dispenser

 to their collections as well.

 

Kuromi

Our familiar friend Kuromi made her U.S. debut 

earlier last year, and she has  

finally arrived in Europe for European collectors.

Of course, we’ve prepared the links for you as well.

 

European PEZ collectors can find the 

complete Hello Kitty assortment here.

  American PEZ collectors can shop here,

 or double-check whether you already 

have all the dispensers in your collection.
Please note: Strawberry Hello Kitty and Cinnamoroll 

will not be available in the U.S. until March, 

as mentioned above.

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.

Out of This World Love: The PEZ Alien Valentine Edition Is Here!

Exactly one year ago, when PEZ International

 unveiled the new 2025 Marketing 

and Product Catalog, 

we all caught our first glimpse of the 

brand-new PEZ Alien. 

 

From the very moment it appeared, 

the global PEZ community went absolutely wild.

The excitement was massive, and of course, PEZ noticed.

 The buzz reached them loud and clear.

So it was only a matter of time before PEZ would give us more versions of this incredible character.

New Online Exclusive Valentine's Day PEZ Alien

And today, that moment has finally arrived

At first glance, some collectors might 

find the combination of an 

Alien and a Valentine’s Day dispenser a 

little surprising, or even unusual. 

But honestly, that’s exactly what makes it so

 refreshing, bold, different, and special. 

 

It’s an unexpected twist that somehow works

 beautifully and makes the whole concept 

feel even cooler and more collectible.

 

The new Online Exclusive Valentine's PEZ Alien with 

hearts in its eyes, paired with the wonderful 

slogan on the pink stem

“You’re Out of This World”

is not only charming but also a genuinely 

meaningful and wonderful statement.

You can now get this new dispenser for all your loved ones:

USA: here

Europe: here

  The only differences between the American

 and European versions are not to be found 

on the dispenser, but solely, 

just as in the past, 

in the different PEZ blister cards and the PEZ candies.

 

To our American PEZ friends who are still 

waiting for the regular PEZ Alien, 

which will be released as an online exclusive, 

please be patient. 

It will take a little longer, but it is on the way!

 

We are absolutely certain that this will not be

 the last Alien we get to see. 

The only real challenge now is 

WE NEED MORE SPACE!

Happy Collecting! 

PEZ International Brings Nightmare Before Christmas to European Collectors.

While we are still spending our days 

eagerly counting down to the release 

of the new 

2026 PEZ International Marketing & Sales Catalog, 

from PEZ International which is expected to be

 published very soon, we already have some 

wonderful news to share with European PEZ collectors.

For many years, collectors had been hoping 

that PEZ would one day release 

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas dispensers.

 When these dispensers finally appeared in the USA last year, 

we were absolutely thrilled, hey captured our hearts instantly 

and quickly became must-have pieces for collectors.

Due to their tremendous success, 

and because The Nightmare Before Christmas

is a globally beloved license, 

we are especially delighted to announce 

that PEZ International will officially add the 

three fantastic dispensers, 

SALLY, ZERO, and JACK

to the European PEZ assortment this year.

The dispensers themselves are identical to the U.S. releases, 

 however, the blister cards have received a small 

update and differ from the American packaging. 

For PEZ blister card and packaging collectors, 

this makes them a definite additional highlight 

and a very exciting variation for any collection.

Left: USA PEZ BlisterCard, Right,  European PEZ BlisterCard

That said, a little patience is still required, 

the dispensers are expected to arrive in 

stores after this summer.

So for now, we lean back and wait just a f
ew more days, hoping that with the release 
of the new catalog we will soon discover many 
more exciting highlights planned for this year.
The waiting is driving us crazy, but in the best possible way.

Happy Collecting!
