See a few updates to the 2009 PEZ WATCH master list from Jan.
Click here will take you there.

For Sarah

A special new PEZ character is donated to the collection
in celebration of a special girl's 17th Birthday -
EVE from the WALL.E set
(only sold in Europe).

For ELIZABETH

For Elizabeth's second birthday a rare red stem BUGS BUNNY 'B' is added to the Looney Tunes Family.

For Dallin

Since Dallin has shown he is one tough guy, a.k.a. tri-athelete, PETE The CAT, the tough guy of the Club House Disney. is donated to the PEZ collection in his honor. PETE is a new, never before issued character, in the long line of Disney/Mickey Mouse PEZ characters.
p.s. This is the PEZ Dad bought at the L.A. Farmers Market. YES!

2009 PEZ WATCH UPDATE

See new pictures added to the SCHEDULED 2009 Releases list posted on January 27th :

• Winnie The Pooh - Super Sleuth
• Toy Story

Another rumor is that Wall-e & Eve have been seen in the U.S. in cartons with the BEST OF PIXAR characters. (Previously only available in Europe.) Supposedly PEZ can avoid the U.S. royalties when issued this way. But I bet there will only be one set per carton. The cartons have been seen at Walmart and Toy-R-Us

EASTER PEZ

The PEZ bunny left 3 new little friends in Sarah's Easter basket. The new RUBBER DUCKIE, the new PINK BUNNY FURRY FRIEND, and the CHOCOLATE BUNNY. .

Pez Watch MADAGASCAR

MADAGASCAR VARIATIONS

The CORNWALL COLLECTION currently has 6 (see above) of the 10 pieces possible (see below) in the Madagascar Series.

The 2008 MADAGASCAR set added Skipper the Penguin and Melman the Giraffe to the 3 original characters (see PEZ Watch 9/08) . Gloria the Hippo looks much the same in the 2008 set, though the original stem was made in Hungary and the new version is made in China and may have a slight color variation.

The Cornwall Collection currently includes the original Alex the Lion "a". Robb's recent acquisition added Alex "c" - which has a lighter yellow muzzle and a lighter tan nose and lighter head. There is also a variation of the original - "b" - that comes with a line under his nose.
The current Cornwall Collection includes Marty the Zebra "b" which has the smaller eyes. Robb adds Marty "c" which has a much lighter snout and the zebra's head is white instead of a grayish tint. The original also had a "large eyes" variation "a".
if you see any of the following please acquire them;

• Giraffe - (top priority to find)
  
• Hippo - "made in China"
• Lion - LINE below nose on yellow muzzle
  
• Zebra - with BIG eyes

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.

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

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.
