VARIATIONS

As we've learned more and more about collecting we have come to discover there are many variations of dispensers out there. At first, we were not too concerned about picking up the variations but as our love for the hobby has grown, we have really had a fun time seeking out the different dispenser variations. It has made PEZ Hunting so much more fun.

Below is a few examples of the different dispenser variations out there. What other variations are there? Which is your favorite???

Cinderella - (L) flesh colored back (R) blue dress across back

Tigger - You can see the difference in the bottom stripe
Nemo A and Nemo B - the main difference is the fins
Toby - There are actually 3 different variations w/ the roof color being different shades
 Tony Stewart Helmet - "Racing" is outlined in orange on the left helmet
Alex the Lion - the difference here is the hair color and the line under the nose
 Marty the Zebra - the difference here is the eyes
Mustang Sally - (L) dispenser has the word "Porsche" written on it
HeSaur - the difference here is the shade of purple on the head
Homer - this one is pretty obvious, right?
Jasmine - the one on the left has a little gold "jewel" in the curl of her hair
Snow White - the bottom of the sleeve is different on these two
Pebbles - the hair line on these are different from each other
Winnie the Pooh - the eyebrows are thicker on the dispenser on the right
Eeyore - (L) has a grey seam down the middle
Those are just a few of the many variations out there. Some are very drastic where others are just a small detail. What others are there out there?

BLUE NIVEA TRUCK, RARE RED NIVEA TRUCK AND EVEN MORE RARE GREEN NIVEA TRUCK

I have been looking for someone who has a BLUE NIVEA TRUCK to trade with over the past few weeks (with no luck so far). In my search I have emailed with other collectors. I was aware of the RED Nivea Truck and I knew that it was pretty rare and hard to find. Today, I discovered that along with the blue and red truck there is also an even more RARE GREEN NIVEA TRUCK! I'm sure the green truck is extremely hard to get your hands on so I'm not holding my breath. I did speak with another collector today who actually bought one last year at a PEZ convention in Sweden.

If anyone out there has a BLUE NIVEA TRUCK and would like to trade, please email me!

KOOKY ZOO

We recently added "Blinky Bill" the koala dispenser from the Kooky Zoo series to our collection. He is sitting on our display all alone and very lonely. We are hoping to add the other 4 dispensers to our collection. If anyone has any of the other 4 and would like to trade. Please email me at Clayrichardson004@gmail.com

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you guys!

Happy Hunting!!!

IT CAN'T ALL BE GOOD NEWS - HYVEE HAULER

As of now, the new HyVee Advertising Hauler that was scheduled for release in April 2013 has been cancelled. I haven't heard if it will be rescheduled for a later release date but for now, unfortunately, the project has been scrapped.

SAD NEWS!

EASTER EGGS - MOC & MIB

Orignially, it was thought that the Easter Egg dispensers would only be available in the tubes. Last week another collector posted a pic of one of them on a card. Later that day, I came across the Egg dispensers in the bag.

The only eggs that are available in the bags are the pink egg and the new green egg w/ the duck on it.

I haven't seen the eggs on cards in my area but I found the eggs in bags at Ingles Supermarket.

If anyone needs these in the bag, let me know and I'll see if I can get them for you.

BIG NEWS - COMING SOON!!!

I have some BIG news to announce soon! Check back often, you don't want to miss it!

UPDATED PICS OF OUR COLLECTION

I took some photos tonight of our collection. We are planning on moving soon so I have waited on getting the PEZ shelves to display them. Hope you guys enjoy!




























NEW ADDITION TO OUR COLLECTION

Through trading we acquired some new dispensers for our collection. We FINALLY added the regulars! These are available at the PEZ Visitors Center. We normally display our dispensers loose but I really like the cards on these so we decided to leave them in the package. It's a very unique look!

Thanks Vern!

15,000 PAGE VIEWS

My daughter and I started this site together a little less than 4 months ago as something fun for us to do together. We have come to really love collecting PEZ and blogging about it, posting new release info and conversing with other collectors has made it so much more fun for us both. When we started this site, we had no idea that other collectors would actually start visiting daily and even leave comments on our post. Today we hit 15,000 page views. That averages out to 3750 views a month!

From both of us, THANK YOU so much for making PEZ HUNTERS what it is. I promise to keep you updated with current PEZ news, new release info, convention info and ALL THINGS PEZ! We are going to be having more contest-giveaways throughout the year so make sure you check back daily. Another one will be coming up real soon!

As always, HAPPY HUNTING!

TOBY (FROM THOMAS THE TRAIN) - VARIATION #3 ???

In January, a member of the PEZ List made a post about finding a variation in the Toby dispenser. The original dispenser had a "brownish metallic" look to the roof. The new variation he found was a "silver metallic" color. Today while I was out PEZ hunting, I came across another variation of the Toby dispenser. The color of the roof is a very dull silver color, almost more grey. I have the "silver metallic" one and the "dull silver" one but I am still missing the "brownish metallic" color roof. If anyone has that one and wants to trade for the dull silver, please email me.

The first 3 pictures are of the "silver metallic" beside the new "dull silver" that I found today. The last picture is the "silver metallic" beside the "brownish metallic".
