There are quite a few new releases coming in April 2014. Dr. Doofenschmirtz will join the Phineas and Ferb set.

We will also get a brand new PEZ Heroes set. This set will include a Police man, Fireman, Army man and Nurse.

SpongeBob, Squidward and Patrick will hit shelves in a new SpongeBob assortment. No word on if these will differ from the original release.

The DC Comics assortment will also get a new member in June 2014! The Flash will join Batman, Green Lantern and Superman. This is one I am definitely excited about!!!
Also in June, the "World of Cars" assortment will release. This set will include Mater, El Chupacabra and Dusty from the Disney movie "Planes".

July will see the release of the the Disney Junior assortment. The assortment includes Minnie Mouse from Minnie's Boutique, Sofia the First, and Jake and Scully from Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

A new Limited Edition 40th Anniversary Hello Kitty tin will hit stores in August 2014.The tin will include Mama Mary, Papa George, Mimi and Hello Kitty. All will be full bodied.


By far, the 2014 release I am looking forward to the most, hits the shelves in September 2014. We will finally get a Scooby Doo Collectors Gift Set. The set will include Fred, Velma, Shaggy, Daphne and Scooby Doo.

Also in September, the Angry Birds Collectors tin will be in stores. The set includes the 4 dispensers that were released in the Euro countries this past year.

Finally, in November 2014, the Christmas dispensers will ship to stores. This years Christmas assortment will see a new Elf dispenser. The U.S. Presidents Vol. 6 and 7 will ship to stores as well.

We will surely see other new releases to go along with these. Hopefully, we will get lots of new advertising haulers, those are my personal favorite!

2014 looks to be a great year for PEZ releases in the U.S.

Happy Hunting!!!

2014 NEW RELEASES - THE RUNDOWN

The past week has been great for new PEZ releases in the U.S. Stores across the country have started stocking their shelves with Valentine's Day PEZ dispensers. The new Monkey holding a Heart has started showing up in stores. If you're looking for this one, try Michaels or JoAnn Fabric.

Also, hitting the stores are the 2014 "Friends Forever" gift sets. This year we get Nemo/Dory and Mickey/Minnie. The Mickey one varies from last year in that the stem is different. The Mickey included in the gift set is the Euro Mickey that was released earlier this past year. If you're looking for this one try CVS, Toys R' Us and Bilo Supermarkets.

Finally, Keroppi and Badtz Maru from the Hello Kitty series are showing up in Walmart stores.

I've started checking my local stores over the past 2 days but haven't had any luck finding any of these yet. Most of the workers I spoke with said they would have their V-Day stuff out over the next 2 weeks. If you're local store hasn't started stocking these yet, they should be widely available over the next 2 weeks.

Happy Hunting!!!

NEW PEZ ALERT - JANUARY 2014 EURO RELEASES!

Today we got another look at a few of the new euro dispensers that will be released in January 2014. There will be 4 different Minnie Mouse dispensers. Each one with a different stem!

Also available is Jake and Skulley from Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates. These are really cool! My daughter LOVES this show so we are really hoping they release some of the other characters from the show. I'd really like to see a new Captain Hook, especially since we don't have the older one.

Finally, it seems as though the new updated versions of the Disney Princesses, Snow White, Belle and Ariel, have started showing up on shelves. Unfortunately, these are currently a euro only release but I would expect that the U.S. will see these hit our shelves before the end of next year. Can't wait to add these to our collection!

Good Luck and Happy Hunting to all of you Euro-Hunters!!!
