M is for March, Moana, Mickey, and Minnie. All three characters are available in stores now, according to various sources.

Mickey and Minnie

Mickey was one of the first pop culture icons to appear on a PEZ dispenser, way back in 1961. There have been endless new looks for the leader of the club, and the love of his life, Minnie. The latest version in the United States and Canada sees their mouths closed, and also sees them in a retro look, inspired by the classic short animation Steamboat Willie. Great timing, given that the similarly retro ride Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway opens March 4 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Europeans will get a different set, featuring Mickey and Minnie decorated with patterns.

Moana

The star of a 2016 feature film, teenage Moana has finally been transformed into a PEZ dispenser.

The new design has been spotted at Walgreens, according to a Facebook group.

Disney Princesses brand launched in 1999, and PEZ first adapted the characters in 2005. While Jasmine was redesigned in 2019, the rest of the remaining designs are a few years old: Ariel (2014), Belle (2014), Rapunzel (2011), and Snow White (2013). It will be interesting whether all retailers choose to carry the refreshed line, given that so many of the dispensers are overly familiar. Only 1 in 6 dispensers at any store will be Moana.

Disney Consumer Products has named twelve characters as part of the Disney Princesses line: Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Pocahontas, Mulan, Tiana, Rapunzel, Merida, and Moana. The chief’s daughter was quietly introduced to the official lineup in 2019. All 11 others have also been turned into PEZ.

Funko Pop! PEZ

Funko’s releases of Funko Pop! PEZ have slowed to a crawl, lately. PEZ Collectors Store reports that the lineup of Toy Story baddies Lots-o’-Huggin’ Bear, Emperor Zurg, and Chuckles the Clown sold out quickly on Funko’s online store, Amazon, and various other online retailers.
