Fan Expo Portland 2025: My Ultimate PEZ Autograph Haul! By, D.j. Perlberg

Yesterday 01.25.25, I attended Fan Expo Portland 2025 with one main goal—getting 10 autographs—and I’m thrilled to say I succeeded! Every PEZ I brought was signed, and I couldn’t be happier with how the day turned out.

The first photo shows the full lineup of signed PEZ, followed by individual shots for a closer look at each one. It was such a blast! As always, every celebrity loved seeing the PEZ!

Signed PEZ & Celebrity Encounters:

Velma & Webby PEZ - Kate Micucci

Kate, the voice of Velma (Scooby-Doo) and Webby (DuckTales reboot) is an incredibly talented comedian, and meeting her was awesome! Originally, I only had my Velma PEZ with me, but thanks to Kristin Brecher Pez Palz, who came in clutch by bringing me the Webby PEZ last-minute, I was able to get both signed! Huge shoutout to Kristin for saving the day!

Joker PEZ - Troy Baker

Troy voices the Joker in many animated Batman movies, and he was seriously cool to meet—literally the only person wearing sunglasses indoors, which I have to respect. 😎 He even asked if he could add some flair to the autograph and threw in some HA HAs on the side! I love when signers add personal touches. Plus, he did his Joker voice, which was incredible!

Superman & Ben 10 PEZ - Yuri Lowenthal

Yuri voices Superman in Legion of Superheroes and has been the voice of Ben in every Ben 10 series beyond the first one. He had a speaker setup so fans could hear him easily, which was unique but worked well. Super nice guy!

Superman PEZ - George Newbern

George, the legendary voice of Superman in Justice League, is one of the most iconic Superman voices out there! I love that he managed to fit “Superman” and “Justice League” onto the PEZ stem somehow—such an awesome touch!

Wonder Woman, Flicker & Daphne - Grey DeLisleGrey 

Voices Wonder Woman (DC Super Hero Girls), Flicker (Handy Manny), and Daphne (Scooby-Doo), along with a mind-blowing number of other characters! Meeting her was absolutely one of the best parts of the day. She’s a hugger, so I got a hug both when I met her and when I left, haha. I’ve wanted to meet her for so long, and she could not have been nicer!

 Superman PEZ - Dean Cain

Dean, from Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, was beyond friendly—we had such a great conversation! Definitely tied for my favorite interaction of the day.

Boba Fett PEZ - Temuera Morrison

Temuera, the legendary Boba Fett from The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett, was incredibly engaging. Before signing, he personally greeted everyone while his assistant got things set up, which I hadn’t seen before—it was a great touch! His line was the longest of the day, but totally worth it!

🦇Batman PEZ - David Giuntoli

David, who voices Batman in multiple animated films, was clearly under the weather, which made getting this signed a bit nerve-wracking. But he was super nice and even shook my hand (cue immediate trip to the hand sanitizer station, haha). So far, I’m still feeling fine—fingers crossed!🦸‍♂️

Superman PEZ - Tyler Hoechlin

Tyler, who plays Superman in Superman & Lois, was my first PEZ autograph of the day, and it was a fantastic way to kick things off!

🏀 Basketball PEZ - Corbin Bleu

Corbin, best known as Chad from High School Musical, was one of the celebrities I was most excited to meet! I have great childhood memories of HSM, and I also love watching him on Pictionary with my family. He was incredibly nice, and I even gave him some Pictionary strategy tips, haha! This is my first basketball PEZ for my sports movie PEZ collection—a perfect addition!

---

Overall, Fan Expo Portland 2025 was an absolute success! I’m beyond happy with all the signed PEZ and the incredible interactions I had. Can’t wait for the next show!

The Hunt for Disney Parks PEZ: A Collector’s Journey | Special Thanks to Bill M.

We always appreciate our readers for assisting others in 

finding PEZ dispensers as soon as they become available. 

A special thank you to Bill for sharing his experience with us.

 Here it is.

❤️ We are pleased to bring you the first 

HQ pictures of the Disney Parks PEZ ❤️

Our Disney Parks PEZ Hunt

We bought Disney Parks PEZ! Your report yesterday 

morning inspired my wife and me to drive down to Disney World, 

where we found the dispensers and purchased 

2 to 4 sets of the entire collection, which consists of five dispensers in 2025.

Where We Searched:

We only shopped in the Disney Springs complex, which is separate from the Disney Parks. Disney Springs is free to enter, and parking is also free. It houses what is likely the largest Disney retail store in the world—the World of Disney store. Additionally, Disney Springs has many smaller retail shops that seemed like potential locations for PEZ.

What We Found

We purchased one PEZ dispenser—Disney Parks Mickey Mouse with a soccer hat—at World of Disney. Considering the size of this store, we expected the entire Disney Parks PEZ collection to be available there, but Mickey was the only one we found.

Our best move was asking a cast member (Disney retail employee) if they knew where to find the new Disney Parks dispensers. She kindly checked inventory on her iPhone and directed us to Goofy’s Candy Company.

At Goofy’s Candy Company, we found and purchased the rest of the Disney Parks PEZ collection.

Observations:

Our experience is based solely on searching Disney Springs; we did not enter any Disney World theme parks. However, having visited all the Disney Parks over the years, we’ve learned a few things about finding PEZ at Disney:You won’t find a large PEZ display in any store.

PEZ is often displayed in secondary locations, taking a backseat to higher-priced, more profitable merchandise like Princess dolls. PEZ may not be available where you expect to find it. In 2019, we searched for the Disney Parks Slinky Dog dispenser but couldn't find it. A cast member checked inventory and informed us it was stocked at a smaller Disney resort hotel.

Not all cast members know what PEZ is—or where it’s located. Even if they recognize PEZ, they may not know where it’s stocked in their store.

Find a cast member with an iPhone connected to the store’s inventory system. They don’t need to know what PEZ is—they just need to search for it in the system. These employees are extremely helpful and can even retrieve stock from storage.

Disney stocks merchandise near similarly priced items. PEZ won’t be placed next to high-end collectibles or popular character-themed displays. For example, you might expect the Disney Parks Crystal Cinderella PEZ to be near other Cinderella or Princess merchandise, but it won’t be. It also won’t be next to candy bars or impulse-buy products.

Overall, persistence and knowing where to look

 (or who to ask) are key to finding PEZ at Disney!

Thank you Bill M. for sharing your experience with our readers. ❤️

Don't forget your Monorails!

Thanks to Pez4mefor the photo :)

Disney Parks Unveils Magical 75th Anniversary Crystal Cinderella PEZ & More!

Back in 2019, Disney Parks introduced exclusive

PEZ dispensers featuring 

Woody

Buzz

Mickey

Minnie 

Slinky Dog

and the Alien 

on Disney Park stems, available at 

both Walt Disney World and Disneyland. 

Since then, new molds for Mickey and Minnie 

were added in 2021.

Today, we’re excited to announce that 

Katie from the Maryland Gathering

 has shared photos of a stunning 

75th Anniversary Crystal Cinderella dispenser!

 This beauty features a transparent 

crystal blue stem with a glittery top—pure magic.

Along with Cinderella, new variations have

also been spotted, including Sorcerer Mickey, 

Minnie on a pink stem, Buzz on a lavender stem, 

and Woody on a light brown stem. 

These are expected to be highly sought-after

 and just as hard to find as the previous releases.

A post about these discoveries was briefly made 

but quickly deleted, and we haven’t seen any 

listings on eBay yet. However, they are surely coming soon!

A big thank you to Katie from the Maryland Gathering

 for sharing these exciting photos on Facebook. 

Happy collecting!

We did a little research for you, and what 

Pudgy Penguins has to say absolutely blew us away.

 The positive energy they share with their

we’re hoping we’ll have the chance to get it there.

 Let’s get excited for what PEZ and Pudgy Penguins have

PEZ Debuts Gender Bears: Collectible Treasures for Baby's First Welcome

Gender reveals have become a 

cherished tradition, and creating unique,

 memorable gifts for newborns has 

always been our passion. 

While we've incorporated countless baby 

essentials into our gift creations over the years,

 we felt something was missing, 

a touch of whimsy and nostalgia.

A PEZ dispenser would be the perfect addition. 

Though a newborn won't use it right away, 

their very first PEZ dispenser would become

 a heartfelt keepsake, combining the joy of collecting

 with the magic of welcoming a new life.

And now, PEZ has made this dream a reality

 with their delightful new PEZ Gender Bears!

Always innovating for their devoted 

collectors and fans, PEZ has created 

something truly special. 

 

These charming bears come in two

 enchanting designs: a pink version featuring

 "It's a Girl" 

on the stem and a blue version with 

"It's a Boy." 

Available exclusively online (here) (USA)

these dispensers 

are perfect for celebrating a little one's arrival.

These Gender Bears have quickly 

become beloved additions to birth announcements

 and baby showers. 

Their classic pink and blue colors complement 

any celebration, whether used as eye-catching

 table decorations, creative cake toppers,

 or thoughtful standalone gifts.

With these adorable new additions 

to their collection, PEZ continues to capture

 hearts and create lasting memories.

The back of the package includes a To/From section to personalize your gift.

EUROPEAN COLLECTORS...

can also look forward

 to the sweet bears soon, as they will appear

 in the online shop from PEZ International as well. 

Just a little more patience is needed!

us with the addition of two adorable

 PEZ Snoopy Key Charms to their ever-popular 

PEZ Key Charm collection.

The release left collectors buzzing—

and now, they’re back with more!

Today, we’re thrilled to share a sneak peek 

at their latest expansion to the

 Snoopy 

 collection. 

Plaza Style has truly outdone themselves, introducing 

a range of fabulous licensed PEZ items that are 

sure to delight collectors worldwide.

The beloved Classic Snoopy and ultra-cool Joe Cool 

dispensers have been reimagined as plush keychains,

 perfect for accessorizing bags or keys. But that’s not all—

fans can also look forward to chic Snoopy PEZ lanyards and 

stylish Snoopy PEZ bags, combining functionality with 

charm in the best possible way.

It’s safe to say these fantastic new Snoopy collectibles

 will soon find a home in PEZ collections around the globe. 

After all, who could resist?

New PEZ Dextrose 3-Pack Candy Rolls are now available in Europe...

Last November, we gave you a first look 

at the new PEZ 3-Pack Dextrose Rolls. 

Today, we're excited to announce that these

Lemon, 

Orange,

all with Vitamin C. 

Dextrose is a simple sugar that is quickly 

absorbed into the bloodstream, 

providing the body with a rapid energy boost. 

For this reason, Dextrose candies are often consumed

 by athletes or anyone needing a quick burst of energy.

These new PEZ Dextrose Candies are a must-have

 for PEZ Candy collectors, but also perfect for those

 in need of a quick energy source, especially

Japan Lipmaker The Return of PEZ Japan's Beloved Lip Balms

When the first licensed PEZ Lip Cream Balms 

were introduced in Japan in 2016,

 we were instantly captivated. 

 

The adorable heart-shaped designs were so irresistible

 that we simply had to include them in our collections.

 

In 2017, our excitement was reignited when they

 released an even more stunning design: 

the Crystal and Metallic Hearts. 

Once again, these dazzling hearts had us completely 

enchanted and found their way into our collections.

Then, in 2018, we were thrilled when the Lip 

Cream Balms debuted in the shape of Mickey Mouse! 

 

After that release, things went quiet, with no new 

products on the horizon. 

But now, the wait is finally over!

 At the end of January, four new heart 

variations will be released. 

These feature elegant white stem designs with 

pink hearts printed on them, while the classic

 heart-shaped tops now proudly display the original PEZ logo.

 

The heart-shaped top can be removed, 

and the lip balm is easily twisted up from the bottom.

These new balms will be available exclusively in Japan, 

starting at the end of January. We're confident that

 these charming hearts will once again find their 

way into many PEZ collections worldwide.

To celebrate this exciting release, we've prepared 

a pictorial showcasing all of the Japan Lip Cream Balms for you.

Happy Collecting!
