New Designs Unveiled! All the Pictures! Get Ready for the New Mario and Toad PEZ Dispensers!

At the beginning of this year, we already 
teased the upcoming redesign of the Mario
 and Toad PEZ dispensers with a post. 

(here)

As we’re sure many of our collector friends will

 have questions over the coming months 

about the differences between the old 

and new dispensers, we are thrilled to share

the first official details and images with you. 

.

 First things first, both our European and 

American PEZ collectors 

can look forward to these two dispensers!

A completely new mold has been created, 

with Mario’s head now significantly larger 

than the previous version. 

He features a new shaped hat, thin eyebrows, a wide smile, 

a rounder chin, and a redesigned kicker.

Toad has also received a new mold, 

and his head is now noticeably smaller 

than the previous model, with a molded smile 

and an unpainted neck.

These two dispensers will be added to
 the existing Super Mario collection.
 This means that we can start organizing
 our Super Mario PEZ collection to make
 room for these exciting new additions!

However, it will still take a little while before 
we can officially add them to our collections.

Of course, we’ve also created
 a Super Mario pictorial for you.

Happy Collecting!

Now Available in the U.S.! New Naruto PEZ Dispensers Take the Spotlight

While all eyes were on the new 

Easter Online Special "Chick in Egg" PEZ,

 and our American friends were eagerly 

anticipating the adorable little chick,

 it seems that today won’t be the day for it.

 

Instead, PEZ Candy Inc. has just added the 

highly anticipated Naruto dispensers to their shop, 

meaning there will likely be no Easter special this week.

The new Naruto PEZ dispensers featuring 

the main character  

Naruto, 

as well as  

Sakura 

and  

Sasuke, 

are now available directly from PEZ online.

(here)

 

Additionally, a special Naruto PEZ Twin Pack 

featuring Naruto and Sasuke is also available. 

It's great that PEZ fans everywhere now 

have the opportunity to add these 

amazing dispensers to their collections!

Crystal Glitter! A Sparkling Easter Surprise: The Exclusive PEZ Chick in Egg Dispenser!

 Even though we speculated for a while 

about which PEZ dispenser would be

 chosen as this year's online-exclusive Easter release,

 the wait is finally over!

This year, the surprise is—drumroll—a stunning 

Easter egg! 

 

And not just any egg—PEZ has outdone itself 

with the Chick in Egg dispenser. 

 

It’s something truly special: 

the first-ever PEZ Easter egg in crystal! 

The shimmering glitter inside makes it even 

more perfect and beautiful.

The adorable chick breaking out of its shell 

showcases PEZ’s creativity, making 

this egg stand out from all its predecessors. 

While the first three PEZ Easter eggs in 2012 

didn’t immediately win our hearts, over the years, 

these seasonal releases have become 

cherished collectibles.

With this new addition, PEZ is bringing 

us a total of eight new dispensers for this 

Easter season—an impressive lineup! 

 

Our PEZ Easter egg collection has now grown 

to 20 unique eggs, and with the Chick in Egg,

 we finally have our 

first crystal PEZ egg in the collection.

🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣🐣

 

Now, we just have to wait for it to arrive 

so we can complete our Easter lineup 

and check off this year’s PEZ Easter collection!

Of course, we’ve prepared plenty of photos and pictorials for you!

We’ve put together a pictorial featuring 

all of this year’s new PEZ dispensers, 

as well as a special PEZ Easter egg pictorial.

 Plus, we’ve also included a look back at the  

online-exclusive Easter dispensers 

 from previous years. Enjoy! 🎉📸

 

 Our American PEZ collector friends will 

have to be a little more patient, 

but the most important thing is that you’ll 

soon have the chance to order this amazing

 little chick online as well!

Austria meets Japan! Special Hello Kitty PEZ for the World Expo 2025 in Osaka-Japan...

Today, we have prepared something truly 

special for you once again. 

We are delighted to give you an exclusive First Look at a

 fantastic new PEZ dispenser.

However, to give you deeper insight into the 

story, origins, and facts surrounding this special 

PEZ dispenser, we need to take a step back.

 Expo 2025 – Osaka-Kansai, Japan

The World Expo 2025 will take place from April 13, 2025, 

to October 13, 2025, in Osaka-Kansai, Japan. 

The central theme of the Expo is 

"Designing Future Society for Our Lives."

What is a World Expo?

A World Expo, is an international event where

 countries and global organizations showcase their 

latest innovations, developments, and achievements.

The concept of a World Expo was born out of a

 desire to present a nation’s industrial progress

 and technological advancements to the world. 

The first Expo was held in 1851 in London and 

featured a wide range of groundbreaking inventions, 

including the first typewriter, the first toothbrush, 

and the first steam locomotive.

How is a host city selected?

The host city was chosen on November 23, 2018,
by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE). 

Competing bids came from 

Yekaterinburg (Russia), Baku (Azerbaijan), Osaka (Japan)

and Paris (France).

Why Osaka, Japan?
On November 22, 2016, France submitted 
Paris as a candidate for Expo 2025 to the BIE. 
This triggered the official bidding process, 
giving other cities six months to submit their proposals. 
The deadline for applications closed on May 22, 2017, 
with four candidates:

• Japan – Osaka

• Azerbaijan – Baku

• Russia – Yekaterinburg

• France – Paris

However, France withdrew its bid on January 21,
 2018, citing financial concerns.

During the 164th BIE General Assembly on 

November 23, 2018, Osaka won the bid in the

 second round of voting. In the first round, Baku 

was eliminated with only 23 votes, 

while Osaka received 85 votes and Yekaterinburg 48 votes.

 In the final round, Osaka triumphed with 92 votes

 to Yekaterinburg’s 61

Incredible Facts About the World Expo 2025

The 155-hectare Expo site is located on the artificial Yumeshima Island, 10 kilometers from downtown Osaka.

This is Osaka’s second World Expo, following the Expo 1970.

158 countries are participating, with around 40 countries building their own pavilions.

Over 28 million visitors are expected, along with participation from 
158+ countries and 25 international organizations.

Austria Meets Japan

As Austria’s fourth-largest overseas market and second-most 
important trade partner in Asia (after China), 
Japan’s role as the host of Expo 2025 holds great 
significance for Austria.

The Expo is more than just an event—it is a unique
 opportunity to strengthen Austria’s outstanding 
relations with Japan in the fields of business, science, and culture.

Austria’s Contribution – "Composing the Future"

Music serves as a bridge between 
Austrian and Japanese culture. 

Austrian classical music is particularly beloved in Japan. 

That’s why Austria’s pavilion at Expo 2025 embraces a musical interpretation of the Expo’s theme 
"Designing Future Society for Our Lives"—
under the slogan 
"Composing the Future."

The Austrian Pavilion, part of the 
"Empowering Lives" segment, features a 
visually spectacular spiral wooden sculpture that, 
upon closer inspection, reveals itself to be a 

giant musical staff. 

This design serves as both the highlight and 
guiding element of the exhibition.

The centerpiece of the pavilion is the Dome of the Future, 

where visitors can engage with the concept 

of the future through interactive elements. 

Guests influence the exhibition’s content and contribute

 to an AI-generated visual and auditory experience.

In line with the theme "Composing the Future,

" this futuristic composition emphasizes that 

Austria offers more than just music and culture,

it presents itself as a diverse, modern nation that 

respects its traditions while embracing innovation

WKO - AUSTRIA & PEZ 

This marks the second special PEZ dispenser created for Japan.

After PEZ produced the red, white, and red PEZ mascot 

with the Advantage Austria logo on the stem for the 

Austrian Economic Chamber’s China Connect 2024 event 

last year in a super limited edition, and only a few 

of these dispensers made it into collections, 

another special dispenser is now coming.

(you can read more about it here.)

For the current World Expo, 

PEZ and the Austrian Economic Chamber have 

come up with something truly special. 

The 

Hello Kitty 

PEZ dispenser was chosen, 

as Hello Kitty has conquered the world from 

Japan over 50 years ago. 

The colors, with the red bow, white head, and red stem,

 reflect the national colors of Austria, making this 

dispenser the perfect symbol to connect Austria and Japan.

The "Austria Composing the Future" print on the
 stem perfectly complements the slogan 
for the expo. 
A special compliment also goes to Sanrio, the licensor 
of Hello Kitty, for enabling this special version.

The dispenser will definitely be available at the 
Austrian Pavilion at the expo, and with 
10,000 dispensers being produced, 
hopefully, more of them will find their way into

 collections this time.

 We can already see some PEZ collectors 

looking for flights to Osaka, and surely some of our Japanese 

PEZ friends will also make their way to Osaka.

We wish all exhibitors, participants and visitors a lot 

of fun and success at the expo.

Happy Collecting!

PEZ International Unveils Revamped European Online Store

It’s been quite a few years since the initial
 launch of the European online store by PEZ International.

 To be precise, it was on 

Wednesday, December 4th, 2013,
 when the online store first opened its doors.

 At the time, the store was a bit lackluster
 in design, offering only a limited selection
 of collector’s items. 

However, over time, it has become a
 well-established and essential destination 
for collectors and PEZ fans from various 
European countries.

Over the years, PEZ International has 
introduced several web-exclusive and 
online-only items for collectors, continually 
expanding the product range.

After PEZ Candy Inc. (USA) revamped its 
online store last year, it was finally time
 for PEZ International to give its site 
a much-needed update. After months of
 preparation and hard work, a completely 
new shop was designed and successfully 
launched yesterday.

When visiting the new online store at 

pez-candy.com 

the first thing that stands out is the size

 and user-friendly design, particularly the menu

 where you can quickly select what you’re looking for.

 Users can choose from categories such as 

all products, PEZ dispensers, PEZ candies, PEZ bags, 

PEZ gift sets, or even the many 

PEZ fan-shop items.

Within each category, there is an additional

 filter to narrow down the search for a specific 

dispenser or, for example, flavor.

A dedicated “PEZ World” button is also featured,

 providing all the details about the 

PEZ Play App, 

the history of PEZ, 

and iconic moments from PEZ. 

Additionally, a new section titled 

“PEZ Catalogs” 

has been added, where not only the

 latest catalog for this year is available for browsing,

 but catalogs from 2020 to 2024 are 

also accessible for reference.

To celebrate the launch of the new 

online store, PEZ is offering a 

5% discount on orders until the end of March

 with the code

 WELCOME5

This is definitely a fun way to shop and explore.

Well done, PEZ International! If a new, 

special dispenser had been included in the launch,

 it would have been the cherry on top. 😉

All that and much more, can be found here.
