A Festive Collaboration: Walmart and PEZ bring us a Holiday PEZ Pikachu...

Walmart and PEZ have enjoyed a 

longstanding partnership, 

resulting in a remarkable array of

 PEZ dispensers for our collections.

Once again this year,

 they have come up with something fantastic.

Let’s take a moment to reflect: 

among the many Walmart PEZ trucks, 

the Employee PEZ Truck stands out as a true highlight.

The fantastic Collector's Edition sets featuring 

Star Wars, Star Trek, The Lord of the Rings,

 and The Hobbit, 

along with the Walmart Museum Smiley

 and Pickup Tower, have thrilled 

collectors everywhere.

In 2022 and 2023, the exclusive 

Star Wars Christmas Baby Yoda 

dispensers available at Walmart 

ignited excitement among us and 

Star Wars fans around the globe.

Now, PEZ and Walmart are surprising 

us with something completely new: 

a Christmas special edition of the 

Pokémon Pikachu

PEZ dispenser.

The new Pikachu sports an adorable 

Christmas hat, featuring a charming print

 that says "Happy Holidays" alongside candy canes.

We absolutely love these festive surprises!

We’ve put together a Pokémon PEZ pictorial

 for you, showcasing all the currently available

 PEZ Pokémon dispensers. 

As a special highlight, we’ve also 

included the new 2025 Pokémon 

assortment in our pictorial. 

If you haven’t seen our post about it yet,

 feel free to read more here.

Now it’s your turn—head to your nearest Walmart, 

we hope  you will be lucky to find the new Pikachu.

Hello Kitty Giant PEZ: New Look or Just New Packaging? Collectors, Time to Find Out!

However, since we're not Giant PEZ specialists, 

at first glance, the new 

Giant Hello Kitty  

which is exclusively available at Five Below 

appears similar to the previous release,

 with the only noticeable change 

being new packaging.

UPDATE:

We were told that the new Kitty is a tad darker and was 

made in Vietnam where the other was made in China.

 For all Hello Kitty fans, variation collectors, 

or Giant PEZ enthusiasts, head to Five Below!

Full Overview! PEZ's Kat & Annie's New PEZ Ornaments

Oh my goodness, 

we’ve packed away our 

Kat & Annie 

ornaments in boxes, and now we 

find ourselves in the predicament

 of losing track of the new PEZ ornaments 

Kat and Annie have crafted for us this year.

 Do you feel the same way?

 

We’ve discovered a solution and 

created a visual guide for you showcasing

 this year’s new ornaments, as well as a 

comprehensive overview of all the PEZ 

ornaments by Kat and Annie released to date.

We absolutely adore these ornaments

 from Kat and Annie, but this year, 

with 18 new designs, both our budget 

and our collecting enthusiasm have hit a bit of a pause.

 

Sometimes, less truly is more. :)

 

You can find these ornaments at 

PEZ Candy Inc. (here)

as well as directly from Kat and Annie (here)

holiday cheer, one candy at a time!

Exciting New PEZ Merchandise! Strawberry Lip Balm paired with a delightful matching red PEZ candy Keychain.

Just this weekend, 

we eagerly ventured into the 

5 Below stores to seize the new

PEZ Block Build Sets. 

 

Had we known in advance about 

another delightful licensed PEZ item 

available at Five Below, we could have

 sought it out right away.

Keep an eye out for a strawberry-flavored lip balm.

 Also included is a keychain shaped

 like a PEZ strawberry candy. 

The great thing about this lip balm is

 that it can be conveniently stored in the keychain,

 making it easy and effortless to

 access while you're on the go.

Thank you Tom W. for the pictures :)

With yet another fantastic licensed PEZ 

item at 5 Below, this place is swiftly 

becoming a true haven for PEZ enthusiasts.

you discover the new PEZ lip balm.

PEZ has unveiled two new Notepads in Retro and Treats Style!

Again and again, we glance over to

 Japan when various new licensed

 PEZ merchandise featuring 

retro vintage PEZ dispensers coming onto the market.

Often, we wonder why it isn’t easier for

 us to access these items, 

or why PEZ itself does not release products with 

the design of the Retro PEZ dispensers.

However, this is about to change, 

as PEZ Candy Inc. surprises us with

two new notepads. 

These exciting additions celebrate 

both classic and contemporary designs. 

One of the two new notepads boasts 

a retro design featuring vintage 

PEZ dispensers from yesteryear. 

With these retro dispensers, PEZ returns to its roots. 

Yes, PEZ, we want more of these vintage retro classics! 

You have plenty of usable material in 

your archives, don’t hold back; 

give us what we love! :)

The second notepad is also impressive, 

showcasing current dispensers from the 

beloved PEZ Treats collection.

In our digital age, notepads remain an 

essential tool, helping us capture thoughts, 

ideas, and to-do lists, 

freeing our minds for new inspirations.

These new Notepads from PEZ are so charming 

that they feel to special to use in everday life.

You can find these two fantastic new notepads here. 

(USA only)

If you don’t already have the matching 

PEZ Pens, be sure to check also out the 

Two new PEZ Pencils are also available

to add to your collection.

 

 

PEZ Candy Inc added a few more Kat & Annie PEZ Ornaments, these are a nice addition to all the PEZ Ornaments Collectors!
What a wonderful surprise from PEZ, 

we’d love to see more in the future!

Happy Collecting!

After we showcased the new 

Cupcake Block Build Set 

spotted at Five Below

available as Block Build Sets!

 Our friends in the PEZ communities

 reported that not only the Cupcake is

 All three dispensers were taken from

 PEZ Candy Inc.’s own PEZ Treats line, 

and we really hope to see more

 dispensers available for building 

in the near future. 

We love these building sets and 

definitely want more of them!

 

Burger, Cupcake and Taco PEZ Dispensers from the PEZ Treats assortment.

 We can already imagine ourselves on the floor, 

building our new PEZ cupcake, Taco, 

or Burger with those blocks.

PEZ Brings Joy to the Taipei Toy Festival.

We are always happy when our beloved

 hobby and of course PEZ are 

brought into focus, be it at trade fairs, 

events or exhibitions.

 

Today we have received pictures from Taipei-Taiwan,

 which we naturally want to share with you,

 the Taipei Toy Festival is currently

 taking place there, which has not only 

generated bigger attendance each year, 

but it has also caught international attention.

 Taipei Toy Festival (TTF) has emerged as 

one of the largest and most prestigious 

designer toy venues in the world.

 

The 21st Taipei Toy Festival is going on this weekend

 from October 10 to 13 at Huashan 1914 Creative Park.

The exhibition features three halls and four areas, with 146

exhibitors from around the world

 And of course PEZ cannot be missed, 

and will be represented as an exhibitor at 

the trade fair, at stand A19.

This provides PEZ the opportunity to

 showcase its products to all toy enthusiasts. 

It's also the ideal way to attract new collectors.

 The stand itself is small but super cute, 

but take a look yourself.

We would take this amazing display 

case home with us, right away!

 

Congratulaitions PEZ Taiwan, you did a 

wonderful job on creating an amazing set up!

 

That's how we love it!

The Christmas PEZ Candies shine with a new Look and Flavor!

Today, we have something wonderful 
not just for our PEZ Candies collectors, 
but also for anyone open to trying a

new PEZ flavor.  

Exactly one year ago, we shared with you, 

the soft design changes at PEZ International 
(click here to read more). 
As we indicated back then, the Christmas 
PEZ Candies would shine with a fresh look 
and introduce a new flavor.

The moment has arrived: 

the new flavor 

"Cranberry" 

is now available alongside the 

"Mandarin" 

PEZ Candy in the PEZ Christmas assortment.

Not only the PEZ Candies, but also the 

festive PEZ blister cards now have a 

renewed look and are available here. 

(Euro only)

 Unfortunately, it seems that the 

X-mas Cookie flavor has been 

discontinued to make way for the new Cranberry variety. 

However, there are still some remaining stocks available.

For all those who have ordered this year's

 new PEZ Advent Calendar from 

PEZ International (Europe) there is good news: 

the new Mandarin and Cranberry PEZ candies 

are included in the Advent Calendar.

This is another fantastic addition that 

will surely find a place in our collection.

Now Available! Sonic Sparkles: The Crystal PEZ Set We’ve All Been Waiting For!

Sonic the Hedgehog was first developed

 by Sega and released in 1991 to compete

 with Nintendo's mascot, Mario. 

The game quickly became a cult classic, 

along with its iconic 

anthropomorphic blue hedgehog character.

After adding Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails 

from the Sonic PEZ range to our collections in 2022,

 more characters are on the way. 

The sweet pink hedgehog Amy Rose, 

who has a crush on Sonic, is the latest 

addition to the PEZ Sonic lineup. 

While Amy is already available from 

PEZ Candy Inc. in the USA (here) 

Europe is still waiting for her to appear 

in the PEZ International online shop.

From now on, 

our American collector friends can purchase

 the fantastic Sonic gift box featuring, 

Sonic, Amy, Knuckles, and Tails as crystal dispensers, 

online at PEZ Candy.(here)

Unfortunately only available

 in the USA.

 

 The good news is that this collection 

offers a complete series in both 

normal and crystal versions, 

unlike other lines like 

My Little Pony and Paw Patrol PEZ.

Make room in your collections because 

you'll soon be able to add five new dispensers

 to your Sonic set in one go. 

Happy Collecting!

All the 8 Sonic PEZ Dispensers, with Euro and/or USA release.

A timeless cult classic from PEZ is back: PEZ Regular with Peppermint Candies... + NEW PEZ Adventcalendar is here!

PEZ International surprises us with 

a true classic! 

 

Many of us fondly remember the silver 

remake regular featuring PEZ Peppermint Candies 

on a striking dark blue PEZ blister card.

 First introduced to the European market in 2013, 

this iconic PEZ classic continues to be 

available under the "Mint" category in 

PEZ International’s European online shop.

 

But wait, PEZ has something truly 

astonishing up their sleeve!

Interestingly, these regulars made their

 debut back in the mid-90s at PEZ Candy USA, 

where they were also available in blue and gray. 

It seems that a few boxes have been rediscovered

 in the PEZ warehouse, and now these dispensers 

are ready to find their way back again to collectors.

 

We are thrilled that the regular dispensers

 have finally made their way to Europe, 

 the colors of the PEZ regulars look 

fantastic against the dark blue card.

Mid-90s release from PEZ Candy USA.

 

It's also great that this re-release offers 

new PEZ collectors the

 opportunity to add these dispensers 

to their collections! 

 This release beautifully highlights two retro classics: 

the PEZ Regulars and the Sugarfree PEZ Peppermint Candies, 

bringing them into a contemporary spotlight.

 

 You can now grab these fantastic pieces of 

PEZ History right here. 

The new PEZ Advent calendar is now also 

available online, it exclusively contains the

 new PEZ Elf mascot, you can find our post about it here.

FIRST LOOK: New Adventures Await: PEZ Pokémon Series Returns with Fresh Designs for 2025!

When the first Pokémon games were

 released in Japan on February 27, 1996,

 publisher Nintendo initially shipped just 

200,000 copies to retailers, 

assuming the games would have limited appeal. 

No one could have anticipated the global 

phenomenon Pokémon would quickly become.

Just five years later, 

in 2001, PEZ launched its first Pokémon

 series with five dispensers, which are now

 treasured parts of our collections.

Since then, our PEZ Pokémon collection 

has grown steadily, and PEZ has secured

 the license once again for 2025, 

bringing us an exciting new Pokémon series.

 

We are delighted to have the opportunity

 to give you a first look at the new PEZ 

Pokémon 2025 collection.

In the second quarter of 2025, 

both American and European collectors 

can look forward to a brand-new Gengar

 dispenser, featuring an entirely new mold.

Eevee is also returning to the lineup,

 with the new version giving us a playful wink.

And of course, 

Pikachu can't be left out, in 2025, we'll get a

 "Happy" version of Pikachu.

 

To help you when wondering which dispensers 

are the old ones and which are the new, 

we've put together a helpful pictorial 

that outlines the differences between

 the previous and current PEZ Pokémon dispensers. 

Dive in to see what’s changed!

 With the upcoming PEZ Pokémon series,

 we eagerly anticipate adding these fantastic 

new dispensers to our collections

—if only the wait weren’t so long!

Happy Collecting!
