2021 Christmas and New Year PEZ dispensers...

While some of us are starting to find the 

Christmas PEZ assortment for 2021,
 we would like to take a closer look at the 

differences between the 
U.S. and the European Christmas PEZ releases for you.

new 2021 USA Christmas PEZ assortment: 

new fabulous Nutcracker (Tube only)

new Elf (regular assortment)

mini Santa and mini Snowman (Ornaments)

Full Body Santa Ornament

New vs old Fullbody Santa (thank you Gail for the pictrue)

 

new 2021 EUROPE Christmas PEZ assortment:

For the very first time, new PEZ Advent Calendar 

with an exclusiv limited Edition 

crystal tree PEZ dispenser (Euro only)

Snowman with play code printed on the stem

 (Mickey and Minnie with red stocking caps - 2020 USA release

 this year also in Europe to be released.

NEW YEAR PEZ DISPENSER?  

At the turn of the year 2019 to 2020 the 

Ladyluck PEZ dispenser 

was intodruced (limited Edition of 2020 pcs.).

Last year it was the crystal new year eve's ball

(limited Edition of 2021, USA only)

The question is, if and with what PEZ will

surprise us this year? 

We all know PEZ loves to stick to traditions, 

so we are almost certain that we will see 

something wonderful again.

There were some dissatisfied collectors last year 

because of the crystal ball, we assume that it 

could be something different this year. 

The marketing department has neither 

confirmed nor denied anything.

 We all will have to be patient a little longer...

but we're on to find out more for you...

so, stay tuned! 

Happy Collecting! 

Crystal Panda Number 9 is here! Pictures from the JAPAN PEZ Gathering...

This year's Japan PEZ Gathering in Tokyo is over!

Toshihiro the host and his helpers have again organized

a successful PEZ gathering for all the Japanese collectors.

 Shiho and Toshihiro sent us a lot of photos

and also said that everyone had a lot of fun

and that everybody was happy that the gathering could took place.

PEZ International has also produced a crystal PEZ Panda

for the Japan PEZ Gathering.

Toshihiro opted for a pink stem with a lovely cherry blossom print.

With the new Japanese crystal PEZ Panda,

we have now seen a total of 9 out of 16 panda bears.

 

No further PEZ gathering has been announced

in Europe for this year,

so we will probably see the remaining 7 pandas next year.

 Thanks for the many photos Shiho,

and many thanks on behalf of all Japanese

PEZ collectors for a great PEZ Gathering Toshihiro!

Happy Collecting!

 

 

2022 release! New Care Bears and Sonic the Hedgehog PEZ assortment for Europe and the USA...

We especially love posts like this one, 
because today we are happy to announce 

that both new series 

CARE BEARS 

and 

SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 

will be released 

next year in both the USA and Europe.

CARE BEARS

We had already seen the Care Bears for the 

first time at the Sweets and Snacks Expo in June (here) 

now the first pictures of the new range have appeared on Anne MC Gilvray.

The new Care Bear PEZ assortment can be expected 

in the USA from February 1st, and we assume that they will be available 

in Europe in the first quarter of 2022.

We will soon be able to welcome the following 

4 bears to our collections:

 

Pictures from: Anne MC Gilvray.

 

SONIC the Hedgehog

Sega developed the first Sonic game, released in 1991,
 to compete with Nintendo's mascot Mario.

Its succes helped Sega become one of the leading video game 
companies during the fourth generation of 

video game consoles in the early 1990s.

The game is cult and so is the corresponding 

anthropomorphic blue hedgehog.

It's brilliant that PEZ has secured the license rights 

for the new Sonic 2 movie.

The new Sonic PEZ assortment consists of 

Sonic, 

Knuckles & 

Tails 

and is expected for February 1 in the USA, 

and in the first quarter of 2022 in Europe.

2022 will be great!

But it will take a while before we can add all the great 

new dispenser to our collections!

Happy Collecting!

Confirmed! The Black stem Money Heist PEZ will come back...

Of course,

 some don't care, others just want one, 

and many like me have activated their collector mode 

and want all 10 of the new, rare Money Heist PEZ dispensers

 with code name on the black stems.

The past two weeks have already shown that this 

is not so easy, the dispensers were eagerly ordered on Amazon,

traded and resold via the PEZ communities.

Now they are sold out on Amazon! 

Even if there was one or the other outcry two weeks ago,

 we can‘t forget that PEZ is a company and 

of course like all the other companies 

they want to sell their products.

From an entrepreneur's point of view, 

it is an ingenious marketing campaign, 

not only that we now know that PEZ International operates 

its own Amazon store, no, all the Money Heist sets are 

already sold out on Amazon!

 Rumors have recently surfaced that the 

Money Heist PEZ Sets will also be available in 

the official PEZ International online store (Europe) in December, 

but we cannot confirm the date at this point.

We are pleased that we can now officially confirm that they will come back

in the PEZ International shop 

(no date yet available) 

and what will probably interest you even more,

 the same number-

 same quantity was produced 

for all 10 dispensers!

Even if our many American collectors have 

still not given up the hope, we unfortunately have to disappoint you,

 the 10 dispensers with the black stem were 

only produced for distribution in Europe.

 

We are still on the hunt, after all, 

we want to add all the 10 dispensers to our collection.

Finger crossed!

Happy Collecting!

Shiho's Guide for all the Japanese PEZ Things...

Years ago Shiho told us that she was working

on a book about all published in Japan, PEZ non dispensers

and PEZ merchandise articles.

 

Now it's done!

Japanese PEZ Things by Shiho Adachi.

 

It is unbelievable what Shiho

has created and achieved!

 

Shiho is overjoyed that she has succeeded in publishing her book,

 in which she wants to give collectors from all over the world

an overview of how many different

PEZ merchandise items have been published in Japan so far.

We all know that it seems to be a million different

 PEZ items from Japan and you won't believe

 what was made there over the past few years.

 

Shiho told us:

  After coming up with the idea, I went to work at a

bookbinding company, to learn how books are made.

Starting from scratch, photographs, editing, printing

and binding. It was important to Shiho to design the entire process

 from the beginning to the end by herself.

 

 Shiho's 136-pages book has been published in English and German,

of course with many pictures but also with

the dimensions and explanations,

as well as the date of the publication of the respective PEZ articles.

We can really recommend this book!

If you want to get a copy of it ($22),

the first run of the English version is already sold out,

at the moment Shiho still has the German version available.

But don't worry, Shiho is already working on making

 all the books available again.

The best thing to do is to contact Shiho directly via

Facebook, by email or via Instagram.

Thank you Shiho for giving us the opportunity with your book

to get to know all Japanese PEZ merchandise items.

 

 To us, you are our PEZ HEAD OF THE YEAR! 

We love you Shiho, but that was the case before the book too!

Happy Collecting! 

 

 

Official Pictures! New Marvel Eternals PEZ ready to hit the stores...

The Marvel dispensers were actually announced for last year, 

but after the Marvel Blockbuster 

ETERNALS 

was postponed a few times due to the pandemic, 

the corresponding PEZ dispensers were not published either.

Now the time has come!

The new 4 Marvel Eternals dispensers are on their way to 

storm the American stores.

Two twin packs will also be available for this purpose.

They're very detailed, 

and we are pleased that we will soon be able to put the new 

KRO

IKARIS

SERSI

CELESTIAL

in our collectors' cases next to the other Marvel PEZ dispensers.

(USA only)

Happy Collecting!

Coming in November! PEZ Ornaments from Kat and Annie...

 This February we already reported about the new 

PEZ ornaments from Kat & Annie.(here)

Many of us have been waiting longingly to 

get all the lovely PEZ ornaments.

We are very pleased that PEZ Candy Inc. has announced 

that they will have the Kat & Annie's ornaments

 in their online shop from November 2021. (USA only)

We can't wait to get them!

Happy Collecting!

Money Heist PEZ coming to the USA...

As you have already learned in an earlier post, (here) 

the two Money Heist PEZ dispensers,

the red regular and the crystal hood version will be

 available in the online store from PEZ Candy Inc. (USA)

The only difference is the slightly differently designed card and the 

PEZ candies, these will be delivered with the cherry PEZ candies.

Now PEZ Candy Inc has released the official pictures, 

with an expected release date in November.

If you still hope that the Money Heist dispensers on black stem 

will also appear in the US, we will unfortunately have to disappoint you, 

because these will only be available in Europe!

We are firmly convinced that the two dispensers will also

 be very popular, and that they will gone fast.

Happy Collecting!

Limited Edition! Crystal PEZ Vampire is here!

New Red PEZ Truck now available...

Some time ago the red PEZ truck appeared on card and we 

all wondered where it suddenly came from.

PEZ Candy Inc. has now added the new red truck 

to its online shop, and it can now be ordered online. (here USA only)

Like the blue VC PEZ truck, the new red PEZ truck is also 

equipped with a sticker sheet.

Thank you to the Barcelona Gathering Team...

It has been a long time, 

to be more precise, 

August 24, 2019 at the VIP 2 Gathering in Vienna, 

when I last participated in a PEZ Gathering. 

As part of the VIP organizer team. 

there was so much to do that it somehow passed in a flash.

When my boys expressed the wish that they would 

like to visit Barcelona, it was immediately 

clear that we had to somehow combine this 

with the Barcelona PEZ Gathering. 

Not only that Barcelona is an incredibly great pulsating 

and lively city, no, it offers so much more than that, 

and the happiness and balance can only travel with you! 

Now back in Vienna, I would like to use my post to say 

thank you. 

The gathering was a complete success

and it was so good, to feel the vibes of the PEZ collectors

again, after more than two years. 

Javier, Vanessa, Igor and the entire Barca Gathering Team 
did a great job and brought the collectors again
together with lots of lovely little things and made them happy. 

From the first second you feel 
very welcome to be part of this gathering.

Javier, the host of the Barcelona PEZ Gathering,

had repeatedly shown PEZ collectors in the past 

how creative and imaginative he can be 

and how much hevalues special, beautiful little things. 

Already the ingenious black and white gathering logo 

with the panda, which adorns 

the goodie bag, the black T-shirts, the posters, 

the stress ball, the FFP mask, the yo-yo or 

the travel set that is based on the flower by the famous 

architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch has been thought through from start to finish. 

With all the goodie articles, Javier definitely outdid himself! 

The magician (and moderator) who introduced 

this year's gathering dispenser was amusing and entertaining. 

(we had never seen it like this before) 

The Crystal PEZ Panda, with the wonderful stem print 

that we presented to you a few days ago, took our hearts by storm. 

It was an event for the whole family, and whether 

big or small, everyone had fun and everyone 

came for our great PEZ hobby. 

With all our hearts Vesna, the boys and I want to 

say thank you very much.

 Brilliantly how you mastered it, 

and thank you for making such a wonderful moment possible for us! 

Oh yes, and one last thing, what would the

 Barcelona Gathering be without "Edu", also known as the 

"BLISTER KILLER", 

that is already a tradition and we were finally 

able to be there live when Edu destroys the blister 😉

It was a PEZ meeting that we will remember for a long time!

Muchos saludos a nuestros queridos amigos en España, 

y GRACIAS por todo!

Happy Collecting!
