The American PEZ POKEMON range hits the stores...

It quickly made the rounds in the 
PEZ communities that the American PEZ Pokemon 
range was found at Jungle Jim's.  
 
Since the PEZ Pokemon range differs between 
the American and the European PEZ range, 
we would like to list which dispensers can be found where.
.
The Pokeball with
the two Pikachu PEZ dispensers,
 the Winking and Laughing PEZ Pikachu, 
which are already available in the
 European Pokemon PEZ range, will be available in 
American stores.
 
New PEZ Pokemon assortment from PEZ Candy Inc.
 Of course, 
PEZ Candy Inc (USA) will also offer two gift sets, 
one with Winking Pikachu and Poke Ball,
 and one with Laughing Pikachu and Poke Ball.
 The Smiling Pikachu on the green stem, 
which is available in Europe, won't 
be available in the U.S.  
 
In return, the new PEZ Pokeball will not 
be found in the European PEZ Pokemon 
range this year. 
 
 However, we could imagine that the Pokeball 
will then be included in the European PEZ range next year.
 
To make it easier for you we want to give 
you an exact overview of which dispensers 
will appear where, we have added the flags from the 
USA and Europe to the dispensers.  
Happy Collecting!

More licensed PEZ merchandise items from Japan...

 We already know a wide variety of 
licensed PEZ merchandise from Japan, 
and the list of appearances is almost unmanageable.  
.New licensed PEZ Merchandise items from Japan.
Our Japanese PEZ friends can hunt for all kinds of
 PEZ merchandise almost every week. 
 Now there are some great new releases,  
presented under the Birthday PEZ section 
that are particularly aimed at parents,
 because the range is geared towards 
small children and babies.
Pictures from puchipurabu.com thank you :)
 All items are perfect for bringing along as a 
birthday present for the little ones.   
We are convinced that these PEZ merchandise
 items via Japan will also find their way into one 
or the other PEZ collection.  
Happy Collecting!

First Look! Here is the new 2023 PEZ Advent Calendar...

Last week we were able to tell you a little bit 
about this year's 
PEZ Advent Calendar, 
now the time has come that we can finally 
give you a first look at the new PEZ Advent Calendar.

It's great that the trading house Huber-Kölle and PEZ 
have joined forces again this year and will be 
releasing an new Advent Calendar in autumn.
The lovely new cover of this year's Advent Calendar, 
in green, takes us into the Christmassy decorated living room, 
where of course Santa Claus and this year the 
elf can be found.
Picture from Handelshaus Huber-Kölle, Danke :)
As already announced, 
the elf plays the most important part in the 
Advent Calendar this year, as it will be available in 
Europe for the first time.
Santa, the Snowman, the Nutcracker and the new Reindeer 
can also be found behind one of the 24 windows.

Even if we would have wished for a crystal dispenser again,
 top on our list, for sure  the Nutcracker 
(please PEZ you have to produce it in Crystal next year), 
this year's Advent Calendar should not be missing
 in any PEZ collection or PEZ room.

For all those who have not yet bought the 2022 advent calendar 
with the crystal polar bear, 
you still have the opportunity to order it from PEZ Online (here) 
When it's gone, it's gone and won't come again, 
so take this chance.
Happy Collecting!

BREAKING NEWS! A new PEZ advent calendar is coming...

While we're all already looking forward to summer,
 our well-deserved vacation and the 
PEZ collectors' get-together, 
the creative minds at PEZ have already started
 thinking about the Christmas range, 
and this is where an important decision was 
made about the 
PEZ Advent Calendar. 
 We are particularly pleased to announce that 
this year PEZ International (Europe) 
will once again be releasing an Advent Calendar 
with a new design. 
 
 After we really jumped at the PEZ Advent Calendar 
in 2021 and sales were also great in 2022, 
we are convinced that the PEZ Advent Calendar 
will be a hit again this year.  
In 2021 in the calendar, 
PEZ spoiled us with the crystal Christmas Tree,
 last year it was the cloudy crystal Polar Bear, 
this year there will unfortunately not be a new crystal PEZ dispenser
 due to time and production reasons, 
it was decided that the Christmas Elf will make its way 
into the Calendar. 
 
 It will probably be the Elf that appeared 
on the American market in 2021, 
the only difference being that the European Elf 
will have the PEZ Playcode printed on the stem. 
 
Unfortunately we don't have any photos for 
you at the moment, as everything is still a bit top secret,
 but as soon as the official photos are here, 
we will of course share them with you.
 
 Now we're concentrating on the great summer time,
 but we're particularly looking forward to the 
PEZ Advent Calendar and all the many great new releases
 that PEZ has prepared for us for autumn and winter.
 
For all those who have not yet secured the 
2022 PEZ advent calendar, remaining stocks
 are still available online at 
PEZ International (Europe) here for sale.
Happy Collecting!

So helpful! New collector's book with all the XXL PEZ dispensers...

Here comes something that has been asked for 
and sought after in our communities many times and for years.

A Catalog and Guide of all 
XXL PEZ dispensers 
thatever have been published so far.
Our dear PEZPALZ friend Jose aka Kokinopez
 managed all of this. 
Jose, who is a collector of the giant PEZ dispensers himself,
 has spent the last three years designing the 
photos and pages for his amazing book.
His book, which was printed in an edition of 100 pcs.
and is in Spanish, 
takes us on 108 pages into the world of 
XXL PEZ dispensers, 
with a table of contents and lots of great pictures,
but also the release dates of the large PEZ dispensers.

A breakdown according to the severity of how the dispenser 
can be found is given under each picture.

Thank you Jose for your amazing work!
 Finally there is a guide for us collectors,
which dispensers have all appeared in the past.
This makes the search easier for all of us,
and gives us also an overview of which dispenser we still have to
find for our collections.
If you're interested in the book, 
Jose still has a few copies left!
Jose told us, 
the book costs EUR 25.00 (shipping is extra) 
and comes with a pin showing the cover of the book.
Just write Jose a Email at:
kokinopez@hotmail.com
Front and Backcover of the XXL PEZ dispensers Guide 
 Jose also doesn't miss an opportunity to promote 
our hobby in Spain, be it as the 
Host of the Madrid PEZ Gathering, 
or like a few days ago at the Trueque 2023 fair 
where he showed his XXL dispensers to the public,
 look at the last two impressive pictures on our blog.
 
 We keep our fingers crossed that you manage to get 
hold of one of these great books.
Just amazing made by a PEZ collector for a PEZ collector.
Happy Collecting!

Finally! The Pez Outlaw on Netflix Worldwide!

 

Since the Netflix PEZ Outlaw documentary 
was previously only available to our American PEZ friends, 
we are happy to announce that it has finally 
been released worldwide by Netflix.
The sometimes funny and bizarre story about 
Steve G aka the PEZ Outlaw, 
a small farmer from Michigan, is the focus of the documentary.

The PEZ Outlaw 
takes us back to the 90s and takes us on a journey to 
locate a secret factory that holds the key to the most 
desired and valuable pez dispensers. 
It's really great to see how the stories about the 
Bubble Man and the Misfit PEZ figures came about, 
and that well-known collectors from our community
 can also have their say in the documentary.
For us today it is hard to imagine that a man could 
smuggle PEZ dispensers from European factories to America.

Really worth seeing, and implemented really well,
 high recommendation factor from us!
Have a fun watching!
Happy Collecting!

Very luxurious! New PEZ Rock Box from Jay Strongwater...

 Even though we're showing you something really 
exclusive and great today that is offered by 
Jay Strongwater and will almost never make it into
 our PEZ collections and PEZ rooms, 
we still don't want to withhold it from you.

 Jay Strongwater’s love of the bejeweled objet has 
led him on a beautiful journey through the 
worlds of fashion and home furnishings. 
Jay began his career in 1981 while a student 
at the Rhode Island School of Design.
Strongwater’s taste for big, bold bijoux was seen on 
fashion runways, magazine covers, and prominent 
jewelry counters across the country. 
The start of home furnishings was a jewel-encrusted picture frame Jay 
created in 1995 using components from his jewelry collection.

Collectors often say they feel the hand of the artisan 
behind each Jay Strongwater design. 
This almost tangible sense comes from the work 
of the highly skilled artisans in the designer’s New York
 atelier and production workshop in Rhode Island, 
where most pieces are brought to life.

Jay Strongwater now offers the 

PEZ Rock Box 
from the Icons series, 
available in a beautiful light baby pink colour. 
Made from high-quality pewter and plated with 14k matte gold, 
this candy box features an antique finish that adds a touch of 
sophistication to any collection.
With its mesmerizing 4,496 stones, this candy box is a 
stunning piece that is sure to impress.

This great piece is being offered for $ 8,000.00, 
now you will understand why we mentioned in the 
beginning from our post,  that the PEZ Rock Box will 
never make it into our collections, 
but for all those who want to treat themselves to something great, 
the PEZ Rock Box can be ordered online here.
Happy Collecting!

OHA Surprise! Happy Birthday Cupcake now available in Europe...

Wow we are surprised! 
The Happy Birthday Cupcake that appeared 
online last September from PEZ Candy Inc. has now 
been adapted for the European PEZ Online store and can 
now be ordered online from 
PEZ International here. 
 
 A new PEZ-Card was designed by PEZ International for the dispenser. 
 
 It makes us a little sad that PEZ International 
has set the price quite high, as it is listed 
as an Exclusive dispenser in Europe.
 While the same dispenser costs $3.99 in the US, 
this starts at €6,4 in Europe.  
PEZ-Card collectors and lovers will definitely strike again here.  

The Cola PEZ Candies then turn the dispenser
 into the right party dispenser.
 
The cupcake PEZ dispenser is always a 
great eye-catcher at every
 birthday party, whether as a gift or as a 
decoration on the gifts.

Made for you! Here comes our PEZ Treats pictorial

After seeing the new Limited Edition 
 from PEZ Candy Inc. yesterday and being able 
to order it online, 
and seeing how everyone loves the PEZ Treats range, 
we have created
 a new PEZ Treats pictorial for you. 
 
Of course, the two dispensers that were 
specially made for the Sweets and Snacks Expo 
and the limited-edition PEZ Visitor Center cupcake 
that was given away for the 10th anniversary of the 
PEZ Visitor Center should not be missing.
 
We have also taken the liberty of adding 
the new PEZ Popcorn Treats dispenser,
 which will be released in January next year, to our pictorial.

Let's wait and see if PEZ will offer 
the pizza slice or a taco with a new print in 
the next few months.
 
You can order the (still available) 
PEZ Treats dispensers online 
USA: here
Europe: here
 
 But now it would be time to finally made a 
Crystal PEZ Treats dispenser!
Hello you hear us PEZ? ;)
 
We hope you like our new PEZ Treats pictorial

On the hunt! New orange M2 PEZ truck has been found...

 From the M2 "Drivers" series, 
there was already the purple Chase and 
the yellow truck a few years ago, 
now you can look for another truck.

As several collectors in the communities told us, 
a new 
orange M2 PEZ Truck 
was found at Walmart.

The new orange M2 PEZ Truck was issued in an 
edition of 9600 pieces.
For us, this means that we have to start
 looking for another great m2 PEZ Truck 
to add to our collections.
Happy Collecting!
