NEW ACQIUSITIONS 04

Well this just came in the mail today from The Zellers. I went straight to the Pez Blog and saw that it was on the Pez watch list. I thought there was a chance that it might already be picked up but I thought that I wanted to post it first. We are excited about the PEZ but we are also excited to see the movie

NEW ACQUISITIONS 03

For Robb's birthday, what would be a more appropriate addition to the Cornwall Collection than the latest new Mickey Mouse - CLUBHOUSE MICKEY? Mickey was Robbie's first PEZ. And also, for the sports loving Robbie - the LA DODGERS pez (this will go with Robb's Boston Red Sox pez).

Clubhouse Mickey joins a great line of Mickeys

• 80th Anniversary Mickey
• Extreme Mickey
• Mickey "F"
• Mickey "E"
• Mickey "D"
• Mickey "D" No Feet
  We will stay on the search for Mickeys "A", "B" & "C". They are definitely HTF.

There is a new

PINK Easter Bunny
for 2009
to join his white and brown furry cousins who came out in 2007.

CORNY CLONE WARS

As new pictures and information become available for PEZ to watch for in 2009, additions will be made to the main

The difference with the "old" Daisy is hard to notice. From the side the bow of the 2009 version slants back much more than the old version.

AND there is a very newly discovered CLUBHOUSE PLUTO. This is a surprise new version. Note the 2009 edition has longer, fatter ears and a somewhat "meaner" look. This makes a whole new Mickey and gang set.

PEZ WATCH 01

NEW FOR VALENTINES 2009

The VALENTINE CHERUB

PEZ continues their new line of crystal hearts with
HOT PINK CRYSTAL HEARTS for 2009.
This edition only comes in only 3 sayings (all in black).
Past recent issue have come in 13 with saying in 2 different colors.

Here is the current CORNWALL COLLECTION roster which includes one of each heart color combination ever issued.

There is also a new Valentine plush 'CUDDLES BEAR' out for 2009. I haven't seen it advertised anywhere (but I have seen it in real life).
It is NOT one of the characters below - all of which are already in the collection.
Who can be the first to describe what the new CUDDLES BEAR looks like.?

12th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Santa brought Sarah the
CARS Collector Set

This is a special boxed set issued in the fall of 2008. The 4 pieces are all Lightning McQueen

and with special writing on the stems.
This came out about the same time as the BATMAN boxed se...t which Robbie got in Boston... Yahoo.

THAT DOES IT... THAT'S ALL THE NEW ACQUISITIONS FOR 2008. The total of new models is 96. Counting a few exact duplicates which came in sets such as the DISNEY PRINCESS boxed set and including Robb's 4 in the Batman boxed set... the collection was added to by 109 in 2008.

11th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Santa brought Rachel
CHOCOCAT

This is the 5th in the HELLO KITTY series.
It is rare, and also a little exciting to come across a character of which you had no previous knowledge. We knew of no announcement this was coming or indication that was on any of the PEZ news sites nor had it showed up on e-bay. It just showed up in stores. When I first saw it I didn't know if it was part of the Halloween series or some other obscure series. Frankly I don't know enough about the HELLO KITTY phenomenon to know if there are any others that could be released as a new PEZ in the future.

10th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Santa Brought Jeffrey
...the swimmer of the family...
BRUCE the SHARK

This is the fifth piece in the BEST OF PIXAR series.
Bruce is from the ...Nemo movie.

9th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Santa Brought Elizabeth ...

CLEAR CRYSTAL ELEPHANT

It is appropriate that Elizabeth receive this character as it completes the CLEAR CRYSTAL KOOKY ZOO set, the first 3 characters of which Elizabeth donated to the museum for her birthday back in May 2007 (See post of May 3)

8th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Santa Brought Katie...

BLUE CRYSTAL ELEPHANT.
on a European Card

6th CHRISTMAS STOCKING

Two CRYSTAL PEZ-A-SAURS

FYI - PEZ dinosaur dispensers were first released in Europe in the 1990s, and later in the decade they came to the U.S. as a family called Pez-a-suars. Each character has it's own name - they are - in order in the photo above (of the crystals and minis) - Fly-saur, I-saur, He-saur, and She-saur. Pez-a-saurs are a rare family of images that are PEZ creations not modelled after popular animation characters or based on particular historical individuals.

To join the PEZASAUR family and minis.
