this is so awesome! I’m so excited!

[edmomo]

Pez is a rabbit hole i've very much tried to avoid up to this point. Guess I'll have to wait and see what my collecting bug tells me when they release these.

[tlaloc666]

nice

[fbingha]

I assume this will just be something like the existing op keychains, just using the head as the dispenser?

[magicalme]

It will be interesting to see which licenses make it into PEZ. I wouldn't mind seeing some Walking Dead!

[willy wonka]

This is awesome. I only own one pez but fell in love with this series. Can't wait to see these.

[mindblowin02]

sweet, hoping for a jumbo boba fett pop pezz

[cooldemigod]

Im hoping that when they come in collector tins they will atleast have some of the same characters together.. So many awesome sets they could do by doing that. Like TMNT or Power Rangers

[TenTwoSix]

I never collected PEZ before but I definitely remember them as a kid! Very cool as this could bring PEZ collectors into the Funko community and Funko collectors into the PEZ community.

[tjbhab]

Wonder if they will look anything like the old very limited pieces Brian had made or something different?

[RoboFist]

PEZ dispensers were the very first things in my life I actively tried collecting. Now that I have more money and an even weaker willpower, I'm 100% going to try and snag at least the first wave of these. I'm actually strangely hoping for Chases and exclusives!

[Imagery]

We just got our first piece from the original line. I already have a hard time not collecting regular PEZ dispensers I like, so looking forward to seeing how these turn out

[donofoblivion]

Sounds like it's going to be a net positive--I think one of many other future collaborations. I can hardly wait to see what the future brings.

[Godolphin]

I'm definitely looking forward to buying some of the Pez line.

[Jezter]

I have no real interest in Pez, however if certain characters that I love are made, I'll scoop them up for sure!

[rjpophead]

I just want grape pez now

My Pez story.... Once upon a time, about 10 years ago, I became a Pez collector. I even had a couple of custom wall displays made for them - each holding about 40 - 50 Pez. I had many common ones and some rarities. But I quickly ran out of room so I started storing them in slide-under-the-bed storage containers.

Then I found out that Brian was also a Pez Head. Since my passion for wacky wobbler protos was more desirable to me than my Pez collection, we made a deal to trade some rare Pez for a large box of wobbler protos. But when I moved to Florida 5 years ago, I stored all of my remaining Pez and the display cases under beds. Just last week, I decided that my growing Dorbz collection needed to come out of the closet. But where to put them?????

I dug out one of the display cases and found that I could modify the interior where there were slots to hold the Pez to be able to accommodate the Dorbz. So I brought our Dremel tool kit out and was ready to start cutting off those tabs today. Then I read about the Funko/Pez deal and quickly but the brakes on that project. Now I have a way to display all of my future Funko Pez collection. But, alas, nowhere to display my Dorbz. So, sorry Dorbz - time to re-home them (all but the Ridez).

Mega congrats, Brian. I know this has been a dream of yours for many years. I can't wait to see what you and your talented designers have in store for us. So many licences of characters already on board so the possibilities are mind boggling. I'm ready, so bring them on!!!!!!

[funkystark]

Yeah Brian must be over the moon right now! (now that it's officially official)

[jimma]

Pex rules! Congrats, Brian!!

[Treasuredgirl]

Wow, this is awesome! So many of their characters will translate well to Pops. Though I would love a Giant Pez dispenser with a Freddy on it truthfully.

[GeekyFinds]

Am I really going to have to carry around a PEZ dispenser with me everywhere AGAIN Haven't had one since I was a kid...nostalgia kicking in right about now

[repair-manmanmanman]

I still remember the room completely exploding when Brian announced PEZ at Fundays. So excited to start collecting these!

[War19872002]

So according to this article, Funko & Pez will start working together:

Who is as excited about this as I am? New ideas for ad icons and even a Freddy PEZ would be cool

[Childishtycoon]

They showed some concept art at Fundays! Can't wait to see what we get and what exclusives they will have. Probably some callbacks to the original Funko pez line.

There's a thread over in the Other Funko Products section. Here's the link

This is cool. Let's see what they come up with.

[Shinfo13]

Pez is a rabbit hole i've very much tried to avoid up to this point. Guess I'll have to wait and see what my collecting bug tells me when they release these.

I agree. I've never been a diehard Pez fan, but this could be trouble now that they're teaming up with Funko

I'm only gonna collect certain characters I love i they get made, but I said the same thing when I started PSH and now I'm obsessed...

[WildberryPOPtarts33]

I've seen the madness that's associated with Pez collecting and I just know I'll have to get a few of them. This could be trouble..

[Tany]

I'm assuming Pop! style heads on Pez dispensers? Or like, the tops of Pop! pens... Glad I'm not into Pez lol, my bank is happy.

[Zt781]

I assume this will just be something like the existing op keychains, just using the head as the dispenser?

From my understanding Funko had a Pez line years before I started collecting. If this in anything like their original Pop! Line it will be epic!

[FunkoMeansFun]

More money to spend. Oh no, .

[chelo019]

I don't think I'll collect these, but still cool. Would be awesome if they make 12in Pez.

[Jay-Jhenn]

This is pretty exciting news for the community! Pretty good strategy for the business

[ShellyGt86]

Congrats to Brian and all the Funko family. Childhood memories, come to light of my favorite Pez candy dispensers. I look forward to the talented folks of Funko to create a new line for me and everyone to enjoy and widen our collections.
