From Austria with Love: Hello Kitty PEZ Exclusive Debuts at Osaka World Expo🎀

🎉 Back in late March, we gave you an 

exclusive first look at the brand-new Hello Kitty, 

Austria Composing the Future – a PEZ International 

exclusive created especially for the WKO 

Austrian Pavilion at the 

World Expo in Osaka, Japan. 

(Feel free to check out our original post here! 📲)

✨ Now, we're thrilled to announce that the

 Hello Kitty dispenser is officially available

 for purchase at the Expo! 🎊

 

As we mentioned in our first post, 

PEZ International has produced a substantial

 quantity of over 10,000+ dispensersfor this event.

 But what many of you are probably most curious

 about is the price at which it’s being sold at the Expo. 💸 

 

Here’s how it breaks down:
✈️ The biggest expense will likely be your travel

 to Osaka (especially by plane).

 
🎟️ To enter the Expo, visitors need to purchase 

a day ticket, which costs 7,500 yen (Adults) 

- approximately 52 USD.
Once inside, make your way to the Austrian Pavilion 🇦🇹 

 the only place where this 

special dispenser is being sold. 

Compared to the cost of getting there and 

the entrance fee, the dispenser itself is a 

bargain at just 1,200 yen - 9 USD🧁 

For most of us collectors, cost likely won’t

 be the deciding factor, we all want this 

unique dispenser in our collections 💖,

 and that means sharing in the effort 

(and expense) to make it happen. 🤝

We sincerely hope our friends in Japan 🇯🇵 

can help us get our hands on this special edition! 🤞

To everyone attending the Expo: 

have a fantastic time 🎏, and we’re glad you're 

also getting a chance to learn more about Austria 🇦🇹.

Happy Collecting! 🐾🎀🍬

Thank you Toshihiro for the pictrues ;)

Spooky Meets Sweet: New Nightmare Before Christmas PEZ are on the Way!

In just a few days, the gates will open for

 the annual Sweets & Snacks Expo in I

ndianapolis, Indiana, where PEZ Candy Inc. 

will unveil its exciting new releases 

for this year and next!

 

We’ll be bringing you all the highlights and 

photos next week, so get ready, 

t’s the biggest moment of the year for PEZ fans worldwide!

 

One of the most anticipated releases sure to 

make an appearance at the expo is the 

brand-new 

Disney's Nightmare Before Christmas

 PEZ collection, and PEZ has already 

shared official images with the 

collector community!

Originally released in 1993,  

Tim Burton’s The Nightmare Before Christmas 

 redefined the art of stop-motion animation. 

Though only moderately successful in theaters, 

it went on to achieve cult status through home video, 

merchandise, and annual re-releases.

 

The story follows Jack Skellington, 

the Pumpkin King of Halloween Town, 

who longs for something new. When he stumbles upon

 the bright and joyful Christmas Town,

 he decides to take over the holiday, though with a rather... 

spooky interpretation of holiday cheer.

 

Now a beloved classic, the film has earned a loyal fan base

 and is celebrated by gothic enthusiasts, 

Disney fans, and pop culture lovers alike, 

watched year after year at both Halloween and Christmas.

🕸️ A Collector's Dream Come True!🕸️

PEZ fans have been dreaming of 

Nightmare Before Christmas dispensers for years, 

and the wait is finally over.

Here’s what’s coming:

 In July:

 Jack, Sally, and Zero will hit stores on classic blister cards

 Jack & Sally will also be available in a charming Twin Pack.

 

SALLY, ZERO & JACK PEZ DISPENSER

September release:

 A stunning Collector’s Gift Tin debuts, 

 featuring beautiful graphics, 

a unique shape, 

and an exclusive 

Oogie Boogie dispenser

 (yes, the mischievous green ghost himself!) 

And yes—each of the four characters in the tin 

comes with a beautifully printed stem,

 making this set an absolute must-have!

This spooky-sweet collection will launch 

exclusively in the United States, but let’s be honest, 

fans around the world will definitely 

make sure these magical dispensers 

find their way home.

We can hardly contain our excitement for 

these amazing new dispensers, so let’s make room 

on those shelves, because  

seven spectacular new 

Nightmare Before Christmas PEZ 

are on the way!

 

Thank you PEZ Candy Inc. for all the pictures! 

Happy Collecting!

   

The Avocado PEZ Family Grows! New Papacado PEZ Has Arrived!

After PEZ Candy Inc. gave us a sneaky hint

 on the Mamacado blister card that a

 Papacado might be joining the party... 

the time has finally come, 

Papacado 

is here and ready to shine!

 You can

 now grab this adorable new dispenser

as an online exclusive 

USA here.

Europe here.

If you're looking for a great gift for 

Mother's Day or Father's Day, 

or for friends and family expecting a baby, 

these two dispensers make for the

 perfect little surprise.

 Of course, we've updated our pictorials for you, 

so you can stay up to date.

NEW Brides Blushing Brides & Blooming Collections: PEZ Celebrates Love This May

May Weddings & New PEZ Brides – A Season of Love and Collectibles! 💍🌸

A wedding in May is considered especially

 romantic in many cultures – and for good reason.
This month symbolizes springtime, 

new beginnings, and fresh blooms; 

the perfect setting for the start of

 a lifelong journey together.

 

In Europe, the PEZ Wedding Collection

  has become a true favorite!

PEZ International often appears at wedding fairs,

 connecting with engaged couples through

 targeted campaigns. 

And why not?  

PEZ dispensers and candies make charming 

bridal gifts, creative candy bar accents,

 delightful favors, and eye-catching table decorations.

 

Now, PEZ Candy USA is bringing back the beloved

 Wedding Collection just in time for May,

  the ultimate wedding month – under its newly launched 

"Celebration" category!

And the big news? Three brand-new  

PEZ Bride dispensers have just been

announced for the U.S. market!

 

While many collectors may have already

 imported the light-skinned, red-haired 

bride from the European wedding series, 

she will now be officially available in the 

U.S. for the very first time. 

 But that’s not all, 

and it’s something truly special:

 

To celebrate greater diversity, PEZ Candy is

 introducing two exclusive new variations 

only available in the United States , 

a brown-haired bride and a red-haired bride,

 both with a dark skin tone.

These beautiful additions will not be 

released in Europe, meaning European collectors

 will be turning to the U.S. to complete their sets!

 

Of course, we’ve got all the pictures ready for you,

 plus a visual guide showing exactly

 where each dispenser is available.

 We can’t wait to bring our brides and grooms 

closer together and make room for these 

stunning new additions in our collections.

Happy Collecting – and cheers to love! 💒💕

Japan Expo 2025 Surprise: Meet the New PEZ Myaku-Myaku Keychains!

Just a few weeks ago, we gave you 

an exclusive sneak peek at the 

brand-new and unique 

Hello Kitty PEZ 

created especially for the Austrian Pavilion 

at the World Expo 2025 in Osaka, Japan. 

(Click here to learn more!)

Now, we’ve got even more exciting news: 

the official mascot of Expo 2025,

 the many-eyed red-and-blue blob known 

as 

Myaku-Myaku, 

has just been revealed – as a PEZ item!

 

While we were secretly hoping for a full-sized, 

official PEZ dispenser, we must break the news: 

Myaku-Myaku will only be available 

as PEZ-themed keychains, not as standard PEZ dispensers.

 

The Myaku-Myaku Keychaines comes with 

a carabiner and candy parts. 

It also has a gimmick where candy comes

 out when you tilt the character's head back, 

but please note that the candy is not edible.

 

That said, these two vibrant  

Myaku-Myaku PEZ keychains, 

which will be exclusive to Japan, are absolute

 eye-catchers and are sure to become highlights

 in many collections around the world. 

 With their colors, they would have paired 

perfectly with last year's Olympic Phryges PEZ from France.

 

We’re counting on our amazing Japanese collector community

 to help these rarities find their way to us!

Fresh from PEZ Candy Inc: Barbie's Ken & Happy Pikachu Arrive! When Will Gengar and Eevee Arrive?

Exciting News for Our American PEZ Collector Friends!

Two brand-new PEZ dispensers have just arrived!

While the new Ken dispenser from the

 Barbie Collection 

recently launched in Europe – much to the delight

 of European collectors eagerly awaiting the three upcoming 

Barbie dispensers, (here more)

Ken

 is now also available online at 

PEZ Candy Inc for U.S. collectors!

(here)

But the real surprise? 

The brand-new  

Pokemon 

Happy Pikachu 

dispenser has just made its online debut

 at PEZ Candy too, and it’s available to order right now!

 

 

Pikachu’s Back – And Happier Than Ever!

 

This year’s PEZ Pokémon lineup includes not one,

 not two, 

but three new dispensers! 

(Click here to find out more!

 

While Europe will receive all three new 

Pokémon dispensers in a single exciting 

wave in just a few weeks,

 the U.S. release will be slightly staggered,

 with Gengar arriving first,

 followed by the new Eevee in a later wave.

 

And of course – as you've come to expect from us,

 we’ve prepared a PEZ Pokémon pictorial for

 you to explore and enjoy.

Mamacado PEZ Now in Europe! But Where’s Papacado Hiding?

Now that the new 

MAMACADO PEZ 

🥑💚

dispenser has made its way to most 

collectors in the US, it’s 

finally Europe’s turn!

European PEZ fans can now grab the Mamacado 

online at PEZ International. (here)

 As we mentioned before, the only real 

differences are the designs on the blister cards

 and the candies inside, the dispenser 

itself is exactly the same.

The Mamacado wasn’t actually released just 

for Mother’s Day, even though it’s a perfect fit.

PEZ is working on building a whole new 

"Celebrations" category for their online shops,

 so the Mamacado will be sticking around for a while!

(at least in Europe)

And honestly, we can show love to our 

awesome moms (and dads!) all year round, 

this dispenser is a great way to do it.

The perfect gift for baby showers and expectant mothers.

 

Still no official word about the Papacado!

 PEZ remains silent for now.

 
However, if you take a closer look at the

 two PEZ blister cards, you’ll notice that both

 feature avocado pairs.

 
Looking even closer: the American

 blister card shows the exact Mamacado design,

 and the second design, at 99.9% certainty,

 hints at what the Papacado will look like.

 
Considering that PEZ is focusing heavily on pairs 

this year

 (Valentine's Bears, Valentine's Stitch, the gendered bears) 

possibly also to help optimize production costs,

 it’s highly likely that the matching Papacado 

will soon be released as an  

exclusive online-only dispenser!

With these online exclusives, 

PEZ manages to reach a broader audience

 and introduce new releases at a faster pace, 

keeping the excitement and buying 

enthusiasm alive in the long run.

 

Sadly not official,  

our imagination ran a little wild, 

we even created two additional 

dispensers using Photoshop!

 

We would love to see the Avocado family grow,

 and who knows, 

 maybe the creative minds at PEZ will love our

 idea enough to make it a reality one day.

 :)

BABYCADO NOT REAL! made in PHOTOSHOP!

Finally, we’re left with one last question:
Where should we place the Mama-and Papacado

 dispensers in our collection?

 

With the Treats Collection or in the  

Mother’s & Father’s Day section?
What do you think, where do they belong?

Sour Power Incoming: Ready for Round Two? VMI Sports Drops Hints for PEZ SZN 2

 Just a few weeks ago, VMI Sports launched 

their ready-to-drink K-XR RTD pre-workouts

 in collaboration with PEZ, featuring the iconic

 PEZ flavors: 

Orange, Cherry, and Grape, 

all wrapped in the classic PEZ-inspired design.

 

Now, VMI Sports is teasing the next chapter 

of their partnership with PEZ, calling it SZN 2. 

 

A new teaser image was released just days ago, 

confirming the first new flavor: 

PEZ Sours Green Apple. 

 Rumors are already swirling that 

PEZ Sour Blue Raspberry 

will be joining the lineup soon, 

with a second image likely dropping in the near future.

 

We’re curious – have you had the chance to try

 the drinks already,

 or are you collecting them just for display? 

  It's excited to see what SZN 2 brings, 

and we’ll be sure to keep you updated as 

more details are released.

Euro Release Scoop: Mamacado PEZ Drops Soon & New Barbie PEZ Trio on the Horizon!

Over the past few days, we've received many

 questions, and sometimes even for us, 

things aren't immediately clear. 

That’s why we can only share information 

once we have official confirmations.

 

Yesterday, to everyone's surprise, 

PEZ Candy Inc. launched (here) the adorable 

online-exclusive Mamacado PEZ dispenser. 

This led many European PEZ fans and collector

s to wonder whether this dispenser would

 also be available in the European online shop.

 We can now reassure you, 

YES

 the Mamacado dispenser will soon be available

 to all European collectors as an online exclusive.

As already known, 

the only differences from the American version 

will be the blister card and the PEZ candies, 

the dispenser itself will be exactly the same.

 

And no need to panic: 

just like the Boy and Girl Gender Bear dispensers, 

this one is planned to be available over a longer 

period of time.

Ken is finally joining the Barbie PEZ line-up.

 Last week, it was time for European PEZ collectors

 to get their hands on him (available here). 

But at the same time, many of us were wondering: 

what about the three new Barbie dispensers?

 

We’ve got an answer for you. PEZ International still 

has stock of the previous Barbie models, 

and once that inventory has been sold

 and shipped out, the new versions will gradually be 

introduced into the range. 

But it looks like it’ll still be a little while before we can 

get our hands on the new Barbie dispensers.

On that note, it’s also worth mentioning that 

Ken 

will soon 

be available in American stores as well. 

As for the PEZ Barbies, the previous year’s models 

will remain in the line-up for now. The three new 

Barbie dispensers will (for now) only 

be released in European stores.

 And finally—everyone is wondering: 

after Mamacado, will there be a PEZ dad-ocado coming too? 

All we’ve gotten from PEZ so far is a smiley face.

 But considering this year has brought us several

 "couples" 

like Valentine’s Stitch and the gender Bear duo, 

we strongly suspect that PEZ still has a 

daddy figure up their sleeve.
