Pudgy Penguins has to say absolutely blew us away.
 The positive energy they share with their 
community is simply incredible!
Introducing Pudgy Penguins,

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?

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!
Happy Collecting!

steady stream of incredible licensed PEZ merchandise

 seem to be unveiled almost weekly.
Time and again, we can’t help but admire—

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!

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.

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!

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 😉
Happy Collecting!
