Pez Comic

Had to post a funny comic from the paper today!

WATCH OUT KEN

Now here is a scary new Giant PEZ that is reported to have just hit Toys R Us : BARBIE.

I think this is a PEZ first - with HAIR.


Sightings have been reported for new HELLO KITTY - full body PEZ. It seems there can't be enough of this figure.

If you are really into PEZ news click the Candy Industry logo below. It will take you to an article that covers 2010 & 2011. 2011 anticipations include SUPERMAN, CAPTAIN AMERICA, and LORD OF THE RINGS and more...!

NEW AQUISITION

Sarah got an EASTER BUNNY PEZ in her Easter basket... the 2010 Choco Bunny with buck teeth and white whiskers.

Complete the Set

For Robb's Birthday we complete the set of Disney Friends classic characters. Joining Bambi and the Dalmatian are Baloo, Aristocat Marie and Simba.

HEART'DAY 2010

The traditional PEZ Valentine Hearts received a design change for 2010. The bottom tip of the heart drops down and overlaps the stem. Only two colors - crystal clear and crystal hot pink - were issued. One of each is added to the Cornwall Collection. Each had two saying (instead of the 13 previously), "Be Mine" and "Happy Valentines Day".

PEZ WATCH

New for 2010 - the chocolate Easter Bunny gets a variation with white whiskers and buck teeth.

THOMAS the TRAIN and FRIENDS comes to the U.S.

A PEZ find

Marybeth and I just got back from our trip to Europe as you can see from above. I saw the Dalmatian PEZ a while ago in the store and it looked like one that we didn't really have. I didn't think much of it, but in asking questions I found out that it is only sold in Europe. I went back and found that the Bambi PEZ was being sold as well. There were no other from this set. But I was excited to be able to find something before any other candy cornwalls.

PEZ WATCH 05

This was originally scheduled to be out last year. Sighting are prevalent for 2009 Halloween.

For Katie

To honor Katie on her Birthday - 2 faithful companion PEZ are donated to the collection - CLUB HOUSE DAISY & MINNIE. These honor Katie being a faithful companion in the absence of her male counterpart this week. Note: Clubhouse Donald joined the collection on Dallin's birthday last year as the first of the then new CLUBHOUSE DISNEY series. MINNIE is a variation with black outlined eyes (compare to Marybeth's Minnie a few months ago.)

PEZ WATCH - 04

Here are the new college footballs for 2009. (Altho' we still have not obtained Utah and the 2 Washingtons from last year.) I'm thinking these will be HTF outside of Louisiana, Alabama and Missouri.
There is a new variation of the current Batman - with a Bat Logo on his chest. This is supposedly the same variation as the one in the boxed set. I don't think we have this boxed set - do we? We got all the characters separately a year ago when DARK KNIGHT cam out - (CLICK HERE.)

I hear this single Batman is HTF too!
