For Disney's 100th anniversary, PEZ Candy Inc. is launching 15 new PEZ dispensers...

For 100 years now, 
telling stories has been Disney's passion, 
passed from one generation to the next, 
and holds a special place in our hearts.  
Thank you Disney for the many 
wonderful moments in our lives! 
 
 The year was 1962 and Eduard Haas III, 
the founder of the PEZ brand, had just 
concluded a contract that was to have 
a decisive influence on the future path of the PEZ brand: 
There was a contract with Walt Disney 
that allowed PEZ to produce the comic books
 that were already popular at the time.  
Figures of the master to use as heads for PEZ dispensers. 
 
 When the first dispensers with 
Donald and Mickey Mouse hit the shelves 
later that same year, it quickly became clear that 
Haas had the right instincts – 
the new Disney PEZ dispensers were a hit. 
 
 The partnership between Disney and PEZ has been
 unbroken ever since, and as a result a c
onsiderable number of PEZ Disney dispensers can 
be found in our showcases.  
And we love every single dispenser of it!
 
 To celebrate
 Disney's 100th anniversary, PEZ Candy Inc. 
is launching this fall
15 new dispensers 
in platinum look with key accent colors. 
 
We can look forward to three new gift boxes, 
a new twin pack and a giant platinum Mickey. (USA only)
Disney 100 PEZ Gift Tin.
Platinum Goofy, Mickey, Minnie and Donald Duck PEZ Dispenser.

 
Disney 100 Marvel PEZ Gift Tin
Platinum Ant-Man, Spider-Man, Iron-Man and Black Panther PEZ Dispenser.

Disney 100 Star Wars PEZ Gift Tin.
Platinum R2-D2, Darth Vader, Baby Yoda, and Chewbacca PEZ Dispenser.

Pictures from PEZ Candy Inc. Thank you :)
That means for us that we can already 
create a little space by September or
 look around for a new showcase right away. 
 We are looking forward to so many great new Disney 
PEZ dispensers for our collections.  
Happy Collecting!

New Release! Three new licensed Easter PEZ Plush were found...

 Last year we were on the lookout for 
the three cute Valentines PEZ Plushs 
that came out at the CVS.

To our surprise, 
there are three more licensed PEZ Plushs this year
 that have just been found at Walmart on the 
Easter basket isle. (USA only)
Thank you Gail Tyler and Matthew T. for the pictures :)
The three new Easter PEZ Plush for $5 are the 
Chicken, 
the Sheep and the 
Bunny 
and they will look really great in our PEZ rooms.
Now on the search to Walmart, 
keep our fingers crossed that you get 
hold of the three new PEZ Plush.
Happy Collecting!

The first pictures! PEZ International at the Licensing Fair in Tokyo...

Ever since PEZ entered the Japanese market 
in 1972, it has been a pure success story.  
 
The Japanese love the PEZ dispensers, 
the PEZ Candies and everything 
that has to do with PEZ.  
 
Almost every week we admire the many 
great licensed PEZ merchandise items
 that are released in Japan. 
 
 If you are wondering how such licensing 
deals come about, we can tell you that 
there are trade fairs where exactly such 
deals are offered and take place. 
 Such a fair will take place in 
Tokyo, Japan starting from today.
To be more precise, 
it is the 95th Tokyo Gift Show, Big Sight
which opens its doors today
February 15th to 17th, 2023 and of course 
PEZ International with his 
licensing partner Plazastyle can not be missing.
 
 And that's exactly where we'll take you with us 
to show you the amazing pictures from the 
magnificent PEZ trade fair stand. 
 
One thing for sure, PEZ International will stand out! 
With the awesome and cool concept, 
PEZ International is bringing back the retro look 
and reviving the design of the 
Psychedelic Eye dispenser 
from the 1960s. 
 
With the great shades of 
purple, yellow, green, pink and blue, 
PEZ not only sets a colorful example, 
everything is also perfectly color-coordinated, plus the
GIANT PSYCHEDELIC EYE
dispenser will certainly catch the eye 
of the visitors immediately. 
PEZ International will definitely have
success at the trade fair, 
which means that we can expect many more 
licensed PEZ articles in the future. 

Thank you Toshihiro for the Videos :)

 Now enjoy the photos, 
our first thought when looking 
at the giant Psychedelic Eye dispenser  
was that PEZ must have kept the mold from 
the Psychedelic Eye dispenser from the 90s somewhere
 in their bunker.
They should re-release the dispenser 
itself in a cool color combination with a great 
stem print as an online exclusive dispenser.  
The dispenser would also look good in the
 Lifestyle section of PEZ International's online store. 
 Well, maybe we've dreamed too much ;)
Happy Collecting!

Now available! New Good Luck PEZ Care Bear...

As PEZ surprised us with a great crystal 
glitter Cheer Bear as a Valentines special, 
the 6th care bear 
is finally here and we can welcome 
it soon to our collections. 
 The cute green Good Luck bear 
is coming from

us as a surprise, unfortunately PEZ is still keeping 
quiet about this, but we will 
know more by March at the latest.

FIRST CONCEPT! (not approved) new BARBIE PEZ dispensers...

 Now the PEZ Catalogue
which we were fortunate enough to 
admire online 3 weeks ago (here)
has now also been published in paper form 
by PEZ International(Europe)
 
 To our great surprise, 
the printed version of the catalog shows a first 
concept picture of the new Barbie PEZ dispensers,
 which have not yet been officially approved by Mattel.

 At first we thought that the dispensers were fan made, 
but it's great that PEZ designed the 
concept so nice and lovely, because the dispensers 
couldn't be more diverse.  
 
At first glance we would immediately think of some 
celebrities who look similar to the dispensers.  
(Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey at a young age)  
 
Let's wait until the first real pictures are here, 
we really like the direction 
that PEZ is taking.  
Barbie PEZ Dispensers from the past.
Until we can get our hands on the new dispensers, we'll 
probably have to wait until the fourth quarter of this year.
Happy Collecting!

2023 Easter PEZ range! All you need to know... Plus new PEZ Easter Egg pictorial!

Easter is getting closer, which means for us, let's see what PEZ 
conjures up for us in the Easter basket.
First of all, a new PEZ egg is coming! 
 The new egg with the flower and the bee print is 
already the 16th egg that we can add in 
our collections.  
While it is offered in the standard PEZ range 
in Europe, it can only be purchased in tubes in the USA.
 What we can tell you about the Full Body blue Bunny 
is that the stem has been swapped from yellow to green. 
We'll have to wait and see whether there will be slight 
differences in the color of the rabbit itself
 until we have it in our hands.
The white sitting bunny, which only
 appeared in America last year, 
has also been added to the European PEZ Easter range this year.
Can we see a special PEZ Easter egg again this year? 
?????? 
Definitely, after getting an online exclusive egg
 for the last two years, we can certainly 
welcome a new PEZ Easter egg to our collections 
again this year.  
 
Will there be another Walgreens
 Exclusive Egg? 
 Let's wait, time will tell us.
 
PEZ Candy Inc. clears the camp, 
and has announced Mystery mini Easter eggs 
online under the coming soon section. 
For all those who love surprises, 
there will soon be an opportunity 
to get one of these eggs on PEZ.com. 
 Mini Gray Bunny on green stem, 
mini white Bunny on purple stem, 
mini duck on light blue stem, 
or the mini Lamb on light blue stem. 
 Let yourself be surprised which dispenser 
you will find in your package?
 
Happy Collecting!

First Look: New licensed PEZ Ice cream

 You may remember that in the past 
we've had PEZ licensed ice cream on 
the American market from 
Dolly Madison.(here)

You also maybe still remember the ice cream 
from Jijonenca from Spain in 2018.
At that time there was one of four mini 
PEZ dispensers as an accompaniment to the ice cream, 
the four mini dispensers (Hello Kitty and Emoji's) 
are really hard to get these days and have
 meanwhile become a decent collector's value. (here)

Beginning in April this year, and just in time 
for the summer season, 
a new PEZ-licensed ice cream is coming to the 
European market with two vegan ice cream compositions 
in retail ice cream chests.
Picture and full press release from DMK Group can be found here
In the practical 2x140 ml cup format, 
the fresh, summery flavors of 
strawberry-lemon and 
cherry-banana impress
 with the original PEZ candy taste.

Even if there are no new dispensers 
for the ice cream, 
the packaging and definitely the cups are a 
great eye-catcher for our collections.

We are particularly looking forward to 
this great way to cool down on hot summer days.
Happy Collecting!
