were unveiled to the global audience.

Mickey and Friends PEZ clips, 
starring none other than Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Two additional sets are slated for an early 
September release. 
In honor of Hello Kitty's 50th anniversary, 
PEZ introduces the classic pink mini Hello Kitty
 and the Hello Kitty Mini Unicorn, 
a beloved dispenser within the Hello Kitty 
lineup, much adored by our community.

Pokemon enthusiasts have reason 
to rejoice as mini Pikachu and Pokeball 
PEZ clips are set to hit the shelves.
We're confident you'll agree that PEZ has 
curated an exceptional lineup, ensuring there's 
something uniquely special for everyone.

My Mistake on the Star Wars Pictorial (The Blue Mandalorian)

After dedicating a significant amount of time to this project, I unfortunately made an error. I mistakenly used a picture with a hue different from the original, thinking it was a variation. This turned out to be incorrect and caused confusion when added to the pictorial.
 It's important to note that a blue-hued version of the 
Mandalorian does NOT exist
My sincere apologies for any inconvenience caused.
The pictorial has now been updated, 
and you can view the corrected version HERE
Please accept my apologies for any confusion caused.

FIRST LOOK: New Licensed Strawberry and Lemon PEZ Ice Cream...

What goes into a Feel Good Summer, 
of course a delicious ice cream.
An ice cream is always possible, 
and if it's from PEZ, then even more so.

In the past, PEZ ice cream has been available
 in both the USA and Europe.
At the forefront of our collections are of course 
the Jijonenca ice cream from Spain in 2018 (here)
as the great 
mini Hello Kitty and Emoji PEZ dispensers 
were included with the ice cream.  
Now another manufacturer in Europe has joined them:
 Income from Slovenia has acquired the PEZ license.

The new Ice Cream Sticks in the shape of our beloved 
PEZ Candies are available in 
Lemon and
 Strawberry flavors. 
(Europe only)

The ice cream box with 4 x80ml ice cream is 
now available at Lidl Slovenia and Tesco in Hungary.
Of course, we hope that Lidl Global will add
 the new PEZ ice cream to its range and bring it
 onto the market in all European stores.

Even if the new PEZ Ice Cream won't find a place 
in our collections, we would like to at least put 
the packaging in our display cases.
Now we are looking forward to summer even more.
Happy Collecting!

Pez Wars: Journey Through the Galactic Peziverse NEW Star Wars Pictorial

Months in the making, when I returned to the blog in late October, Ghosty's first request was for a Star Wars Pictorial.  
Shortly after, Cam Art on Facebook shared a wonderful picture guide by year, which proved invaluable for this extensive project. So many many thanks and hugs to Cam Art ❤️. 
Given my slower pace and penchant for double and triple-checking my work, I must admit I'm not as savvy as many PEZ collectors out there. 

A heartfelt thank you is owed to momopez.com, one of the foremost contributors to our hobby. Maintaining the largest database of pictures for every dispenser ever made is no small feat, and Wolfgang Handl ❤️ has tirelessly contributed to this effort for many years. Since our blog's inception, Wolfgang has been an invaluable source of support and guidance. Hugs, MoMo.

So welcome to our newest page - Star Wars Pictorial

As always, if you see something missed please send an email to pezpalz@gmail.com
