Meet the New Minions: Fresh Additions for Your PEZ Collection Tim & Mel

The excitement around the new 
PEZ Minions 
at PEZ has been overshadowed in 
the past few days by our focus 
on the new PEZ Expo Girl and the 
fantastic photos of the new releases 
showcased at the trade fair.Minions Twin Pack and new card for Despicable me PEZ 2024 4
   Now, we want to shine a spotlight 
on the new 
Despicable Me PEZ assortment
 featuring the Minions.

A few weeks ago, we gave you a sneak
 peek at this new range. (here)
All four dispensers in the PEZ Despicable Me
 collection are new: while two might be considered variants, 
the other two are completely fresh additions. 
Tim and Mel are now available from PEZ.com along
 with 
Mega Minion Tim and 
Mega Minion Mel. 
A great twin pack will also be available soon.
Minions Twin Pack and new card for Despicable me PEZ 2024 4
European PEZ collectors can look forward
 to these four new dispensers as well; 
the only difference between the 
American and European versions is the
 minimal difference between the
PEZ blister cards. 
Make room in your Minions PEZ collection 
for these exciting new additions. 
Happy Collecting!

A Collector's Dream and a Community Celebration- Sweets and Snacks PEZ Girl Raffle Result Did you WIN?

With the opening of the Sweets and Snacks Expo 
and the presentation of this year's 
limited Expo PEZ Girl, 
we anticipated the usual hysteria, 
given that only 1,000 dispensers were produced. 
 The special Girl PEZ dispenser, in particular, 
attracts more PEZ collectors than perhaps 
the Expo Truck or the Expo Pizza, 
and the demand for it is enormous. 
It was only a matter of time before the
 first dispensers appeared on eBay for $250.

However, this year, PEZ has taken a new path,
by introducing 
a unique and thoughtful initiative. 
Members of the PEZ communities could 
register for a raffle, giving them the opportunity
 to purchase one of the 1,000 dispensers 
for $50. Additionally, PEZ is donating a 
portion of the proceeds to the Connecticut Humane Society.

Naturally, we all registered and anxiously 
checked our emails, hoping to be among the lucky winners.
 According to reports from the communities, 
the emails have been sent, and there are some
 fortunate recipients. 
For those curious about the content of the winning email,
 we are pleased to share that Judy, 
one of the lucky winners, has provided us 
with a screenshot of her email for publication.
Thank you Judy :)
Both Kristian and I are thrilled for everyone
 who found the coveted email in their inbox today.
YAY! YOU GOT IT! 
Congratulations!
For those who didn’t receive an email, 
don't be disheartened. 
When one door closes, another one will surely open. 
Life goes on! 
It's this very thrill of the hunt that makes 
collecting so interesting and exciting. 
Happy Collecting!

Sweet Surprises Unveiled: PEZ's latest Mini Clip Marvels straight from the Sweets and Snacks Expo 2024!

We've already showcased a significant 
portion of the new products from the 
Sweets and Snacks Expo (here), but not everything
 has made its debut just yet.
Let's reminisce about the 2021 trade fair 
where PEZ Candy Inc. unveiled the 
PEZ Clips for the first time.
 Packs featuring two of these mini dispensers 
were unveiled to the global audience.

The Harry Potter and Star Wars mini clips swiftly 
clinched the 2021 Most Innovative New Product Award in the Novelty/Licensed category at the trade fair. (Read more here)

We're excited to present this year's new 
mini clips currently on display at the expo.

Kicking off in June, PEZ debuts the beloved Disney 
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. 
Unfortunately, all the PEZ clips will be 
released only  in the USA.

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
