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

UPDATE: CONTEST IS CLOSED!!!

Thank you to all who entered!

We will announce WINNERS soon.

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 there’s even more exciting news to come, 

but more on that later. 

For now, 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. 

To celebrate the launch of these new dispensers,

 PEZ International has generously provided us

 with an exclusive set (many thanks for that!),

 which we are happy to give away to our community.

One lucky winner will be the first to welcome 

all three brand-new Toy Story dispensers (loose)

 into their collection.

 

Below, you’ll find all the details on how to

 participate in the giveaway.

 

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.

We’re Already in Love: Highlights from the New PEZ International Catalog

Without a doubt, the 

European Marketing 

& Sales Catalog from PEZ International 

is, alongside the Sweets & Snacks Expo in the USA, 

the absolute highlight of the year for us PEZ collectors. 

This catalog not only presents all the new 

releases for the current year, 

it also serves as proof of just how 

creative PEZ continues to be,

 filling store shelves and

 our collections 

alike with outstanding licenses and beautifully 

designed PEZ dispensers.

 

Over the years, the annual catalog itself 

has become a must-have collector’s item,

 firmly earning its place as a collectible in its own right.

Before diving into the latest PEZ dispensers,

 let’s take a look, as tradition demands, 

at what’s new in the candy segment. 

After launching several new sour varieties

 last year, most notably the 

PEZ Monster Fizzy Bags, 

PEZ is turning things up another notch 

in 2026 with the brand-new 

Shock Headz Sour candies.

 

 Available in the ultra-sour flavors

 Electric Apple and Buzzing Strawberry, 

these candies are clearly designed to impress.

 

Targeted specifically at the 10–16-year-old audience,

PEZ Shock Headz Sour comes in truly spectacular packaging. 

The oversized skull with its tongue sticking out, 

combined with bold, vibrant colors, 

makes this an absolute eye-catcher on the shelf. 

We honestly can’t wait to taste them ourselves.

We’ve already introduced this year’s 

Hello Kitty 

assortment on our blog, 

but it won’t be long before Hello Kitty Strawberry,

 the new My Melody, Cinnamoroll, 

and Kuromi appear in stores. 

Feel free to revisit our post from last year if

 you’d like to dive deeper into the Hello Kitty lineup. (here)

After PEZ Candy USA gave us a first look at the new  

Toy Story PEZ dispensers 

just last week, PEZ International has now officially 

confirmed their release for the European market as well.

 

 Over the years, the Toy Story license has given 

us an incredible number of fantastic dispensers. 

To coincide with the release of Toy Story 5, 

hitting cinemas this June, PEZ has created

three all-new molds for 

Woody, Buzz, and Jessie. 

We can’t wait to welcome these three into our collections, 

and you can be sure we’ll be heading straight to the cinema, too

Following last year’s updates to Mario and Toad,

 both of which received new molds, another true 

icon is stepping into the spotlight:  

Donkey Kong. 

He has been redesigned and will be released this 

year with a brand-new mold as well.

Here you can find our story about the new 

mold for Mario and Toad.

A new addition is also joining the  

Squishmallows PEZ lineup. 

With Ingred, the purple cow, PEZ introduces a 

dispenser using the same mold as Patty. 

We’re confident she’ll feel right at home next to 

Cam, Patty, and Junie in our collections.

Now let’s talk about a dispenser that truly stole our hearts:

Pokémon!
Yes, you read that righ, and yes, we know we’ve

 had plenty of Pokémon dispensers before. 

But this time, PEZ delivers something completely new: 

Pikachu as a full-body dispenser 

with an entirely new mold.

 That this one is an instant must-buy goes without saying.

An entirely new assortment that our attentive 

readers already knew about: 

Hot Wheels Monster Trucks as PEZ dispensers! 

 

Starting this fall, Mega Wrex, Rhinomite, and Tiger Shark 

will come racing into our collections at full speed.

Next up is another dispenser that made our hearts glow, 

this time without any license at all. 

Straight from PEZ itself, our beloved  

ghost dispenser got

a brand-new mold, and we absolutely love how 

it will once again delight us during the Halloween season.

The 2026 Christmas season brings us the  

Ugly Sweater Santa dispenser, 

which last year was only available in a tube in the USA.

 The key difference in the European version is the 

PEZ Play code printed on the stem. 

Simply scan it to jump straight into the games

 within the PEZ Play app.

The little yellow Minions are also returning 

to the big screen this year, and with their 

massive fanbase, PEZ dispensers are of course a must. 

While the dispensers are currently hidden for

 licensing reasons, we can already reveal that  

at least two Minions dispensers will receive

 complete redesigns.

New packaging is also on the way: the catalog features

 two new cardboard gift boxes, 

both absolutely stunning. 

One will appear in the Easter assortment, 

while the Mario gift box will follow later in the year. 

We truly love this new addition.

We can also look forward to new dextrose 

drops this year, with Hello Kitty, Minions, 

and Squishmallows joining the lineup. 

 

Additionally, PEZ is releasing two new Twin Packs,

 featuring Pokémon and Stitch.

One of the biggest surprises in the catalog is the return of the 

XXL PEZ dispensers (known as Giants in the USA). 

 

After many years, PEZ International is bringing them back, 

featuring Stitch, already released in the USA last year,

 and Creeper from the Minecraft series. 

These two giants are guaranteed to put 

smiles on collectors’ faces.

PEZ Bags have become an essential part of the assortment, 

and this year brings new additions with the  

Spiderman Bag and Squishmallows Bag. 

 

For the Maxi Bags, Squishmallows and Minions are new for 2026.

Finally, PEZ is also expanding its merchandise range, 

introducing a foldable tote bag and a  

paper shopping bag, both featuring the new 

PEZ Candy pattern design.

It’s already clear: once again, PEZ has succeeded

 in making the year incredibly exciting for collectors, 

with a fantastic range of new dispensers and 

products that continue to sweeten our hobby.

 

Dive into the complete new PEZ International 

catalog right here and discover everything

 that awaits collectors this year. 

Happy Collecting!
