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 

community is simply incredible!

Introducing Pudgy Penguins,

Even though it will take a little while before 

we get to see Pengu, the lovable penguin, 

for the first time, we can already look forward

 to an amazing brand-new 

PEZ dispenser with a new mold.

 

We can’t wait to show you the first official pictures!

 

In the meantime, we can start thinking about where

 to place Pengu in our collections, should we put him 

next to the Penguins of Madagascar or alongside 

the Compaq Penguin?

 

Since Pudgy Penguins runs a fantastic online shop, 

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

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

created together, and hopefully, we won’t have to wait too long!

Stay tuned!

Happy Collecting!

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!

Snoopy and Joe Cool! New Snoopy Merchandise from Japan!

By now, we've grown accustomed to the 

steady stream of incredible licensed PEZ merchandise 

emerging from Japan, where exciting new releases

 seem to be unveiled almost weekly.

Time and again, we can’t help but admire—

okay, maybe even envy—

our Japanese PEZ collector friends who are

 consistently spoiled with these unique treasures.

 But let’s be honest: their joy is our joy too, 

as it’s always thrilling to see the PEZ universe grow

 in such creative and stylish ways!

Last September, Japan’s Plaza Style delighted 

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?

FIRST LOOK! Lovely New 2025 Holiday PEZ Ornaments from Kat & Annie and Christopher Radko...

After sharing the Jim Shore PEZ ornaments with you two weeks ago, which we can look forward to this holiday season, it’s time to introduce the latest creations from Kat & Annie and Christopher Radko. They've designed something truly special for this year once again!

This year, Kat & Annie have reimagined two of the most popular PEZ Treat dispensers, the Popcorn Dispenser and the Avocado Dispenser, as charming tree ornaments. These delightful designs are perfect for adding a whimsical touch to your holiday décor.

Available for preorder here.

Meanwhile, Christopher Radko is taking a new approach this season by focusing solely on the dispenser heads rather than the full dispensers.

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 

are already available in European KIK stores!

The newly developed 3-Pack PEZ Dextrose Rolls pack, 

featuring the classic PEZ design with the PEZ mascots 

and PEZ logo, includes the flavors 

Lemon, 

Orange, 

and Raspberry, 

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 

during the winter months. 

Additionally, the new 3-Pack makes a great eye-catching 

display in any PEZ collection.

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.

Barky Brown: A PEZ Legacy of Compassion and Collectible Joy

In 2005, a special addition was made to the world of 

PEZ dispensers—a charming character named Barky.

Officially known as 

Barky, Barkina,

Barclay and Barkette

these adorable dispensers quickly captured

 the hearts of collectors and animal lovers alike. 

More than just a delightful collectible, 

Barky was introduced with a noble purpose:

all profits from its sales were dedicated to 

Save Our Strays, an organization committed 

to rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming 

unwanted dogs and cats. 

Through this initiative, Barky has been 

instrumental in providing countless animals

 with a second chance at life.

Over the years, Barky has seen an impressive 

array of releases—190 different versions since 

its debut. Each release brought a unique charm, 

making some of these Barky Brown PEZ dispensers

incredibly rare and highly sought after. For collectors,

these dispensers are not merely another item for 

their shelves but a highlight of their PEZ collections, 

representing a blend of joy, nostalgia, and a good cause.

To help enthusiasts track their collections, a complete 

pictorial guide of all Barky Brown PEZ dispensers has 

been created. This guide ensures that collectors 

can verify they have every version, from 

the common to the exclusive.

You can find the page HERE 

For those eager to add Barky to their collections, two exceptional

sellers offer these cherished items. Tina Gunsauls, a beloved figure 

in the PEZ community, can be contacted via Facebook 

Tina Christison Gunsauls HERE or by email at tina@snowcrest.net. 

Another trusted source is Ann Jager, who runs 

the Canada Candy Connection. 

Her collection can be explored at canadacandyconnection.com.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or a newcomer, 

Barky continues to be a symbol of compassion and joy, 

bringing together the worlds of collectibles 

and animal welfare in the most heartwarming way.

Buzzing with Excitement: The New PEZ Alien Takes Collectors by Storm!

After PEZ International introduced 

their product catalog with this year's new releases 

(you can find our post about it here), 

two dispensers from the new lineup 

immediately caught our attention. 

On the one hand, the new 

Day of the Dead, or Dia De Los Muertos pumpkin, 

and on the other, we were absolutely thrilled

 about the new PEZ 

ALIEN, 

which will be added to 

the Space/Mars Mission collection by the end of the year.

The same reactions can be found in the 

PEZ communities, where the Alien has 

unquestionably left the biggest impression. 

Everyone seems to be most excited about the Alien!

A funny anecdote here is that the Alien was on

 the discussion list at PEZ until the very last 

moment, and was almost scrapped.

But why are we all so excited about the PEZ Alien?

The fact that aliens are mysterious 

and otherworldly makes them inherently 

fascinating and special, but also a bit terrifying. 

Since there's no definitive scientific proof of their

 existence, they remain an unsolved puzzle.

While the regular PEZ collection is designed with 

a childlike charm, the Alien stands out because 

it's a bit more mystical and different, 

which is exactly why it's so intriguing to us.

We’re curious to know why the Alien resonates so 

much with all of you and why it excites you so much?

For us, the possibilities are endless!

Just imagine if PEZ were to release a 

glow-in-the-dark 

version of the Alien, 

OMG!, we would probably lose it! 

We can dream, right? 

And sometimes dreams do come true 😉

With Cam the Cat,

 Connor the Cow,

we’ll get three adorable new dispensers starting 

from the third quarter.

(USA license confirmed)

The Ninja Turtles are back!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles:

 Mutant Mayhem movie released in 2023 and 

was a worldwide success.
The movie revitalized the brand, with a

 new TV series launching on Nickelodeon 

and Paramount+ in August 2024.

In addition, PEZ has secured the license and 

is bringing the Ninja Turtles back in a completely new look.

Starting from the third quarter, we can add

 Donatello, Michelangelo, Leonardo, 

and Raphael to our collection alongside many other Turtles.

(USA license confirmed)

Make room for another new 

SpongeBob dispenser!
SpongeBob SquarePants will be with 

us again this year!

We can look forward to the Sparkling Eyes SpongeBob!
The new Sparkling Eyes SpongeBob will join the already available Smiling SpongeBob, Patrick, Nerdy SpongeBob, and Gary.
All of this starting from the third quarter this year!

(USA license confirmed)

Mercat, Cakey Cat, and Pandy Paws from the 

Gabby's Dollhouse 

PEZ collection 

were introduced to the market for the first time, and in 2023, 

Gabby, the main character, followed as a PEZ dispenser. in 2024.
The journey continues in 2025, 

and alongside the 4 existing dispensers, 

Kitty Fairy will be added to the collection

 starting in the third quarter.

(USA license confirmed)

 

The stories of Chase and his friends from the 
PAW PATROL

universe have taken children’s 

rooms around the world by storm.

PEZ really had a good instinct with Paw Patrol, 

as the dispensers featuring the adorable 

pups are incredibly popular.

So it’s no surprise that PEZ has come up with
 something exciting and new for the 
Paw Patrol collection this year!
With Rex, another cute pup joins the already
 existing dispensers of Chase, Skye, Marshall,
 Liberty, and Rubble!
All of this starting from the third quarter!

With the PEZ Mars/Space Mission series,

 PEZ has created the most popular collection among collectors!
PEZ may not even realize just how much we love this series.

 The Gold and Silver Astronauts, the Space Rocket, 

and the Mars Roover dispensers have captured our hearts!

As we mentioned before, there were discussions 

about expanding the series, and even though

 it was uncertain for a while, we are now thrilled

 to welcome another dispenser, and tadaaaa,

it’s the 

Alien!
But who can wait until the fourth quarter for this dispenser? 

Come on, PEZ, maybe bring it forward a little 😉

This year’s 

Halloween 

collection brings us a new pumpkin,

 and as we hinted last year, the Day of the Dead 

dispenser has made it into PEZ’s lineup!

What a great design, PEZ! We can’t wait to 

add this dispenser to our collections!

(USA license confirmed)

The 

Super Mario 

PEZ collection surprises us this year 

with a redesign of Mario and the Toad dispenser.

At first glance, it’s hard to spot the differences 

from the photo, because they both

 look similar to previous releases, at first glance.

But one thing is certain: 

both have been redesigned!

 We probably have to wait until 

we hold the new dispenser in our hands to see the changes.

There isn’t much new to report about 

this year’s Christmas collection, except

 that the red elf, which was released in the USA last year,

 is now joining the European Christmas assortment. 

The only difference beetween the US and Euro version, 

is that the PEZ Playcode is printed on the stem.

 

In the fourth quarter, we’ll also see the 

Jurassic World Explorers. 

PEZ hasn’t shared an official photo with 

us yet, so the dispensers may still be in development. 

However, judging by the image, they’re likely 

to be designed in a very child-friendly style.

 Let’s be surprised by which dinosaur 

dispensers PEZ will wow us with this time! 

 PEZ has also created some fantastic new gift boxes, 

bags, and maxi bags for this year!

 

In the Twin Packs, PEZ is surprising us this year with 

the Minecraft and Gabby’s Dollhouse twin packs.

 

 

After the successful introduction of the 

Fizzy Giant Roll, more is on the way.

 The series has been expanded, and now, i

n addition to Tutti Frutti, we’ll also have the

 Fizzy Cola Mix and Sour Mix Giant Rolls

 

OMG, don’t the new Fizzy and Dextrose

 Monster Bags look amazing?
In the flavors Tutti Frutti, Fruit Flavors, Fizzy Cola Mix, 

and Sour Mix, they’ve already won our hearts!
An absolute must for our collections, 

as PEZ has truly created a masterpiece graphically here!

 

In the 85g bags, which each come with

 a PEZ dispenser and 10 PEZ candies, 

we’ll find the new Pokémon and Stitch dispensers this year!

 

For the PEZ MAXI Bags, 

alongside Asterix, Mickey, Princesses, and Looney Tunes, 

the two new Barbie and Super Mario 

MAXI Bags will join the lineup this year.

Now, we just have to wait until we can 

add all these fantastic new items from PEZ to our collections.
Cherrs to the best hobby in the world!
