Believe it or not, it has been 20 years since PEZ first brought the world of Ice Age to our collections!
Back in 2006, alongside the release of Ice Age: The Meltdown (Ice Age 2), PEZ introduced the first four dispensers featuring the movie’s characters: Manny the mammoth, Sid the sloth, Diego the saber-toothed tiger, and Scrat the saber-toothed squirrel.
Over the years, the Ice Age PEZ family continued to grow, bringing us different variations, new molds, and additional characters. Among them were Dino Momma and, of course, the beloved acorn-obsessed Scrat!
All five Ice Age movies have enjoyed tremendous worldwide success, and the franchise is once again getting some attention. All five films have recently been added to Netflix’s streaming lineup as part of a limited three-month streaming deal between Disney+ and Netflix.
But that’s not all! The next chapter of the prehistoric adventure is already on its way. The sixth movie, titled Ice Age: Boiling Point, will hit theaters in February 2027.
And here’s where things get especially exciting for PEZ collectors!
Four New Ice Age PEZ Dispensers Are Coming!
PEZ International has secured the license, and four brand-new Ice Age dispensers will soon be arriving on the European market, perfectly timed with the upcoming movie release.
That’s right, this will be a Europe-only release!
We’re particularly excited to give you an exclusive first look at the new lineup before these dispensers arrive in European stores.
Old Favorites – But Look Closer!
At first glance, the new Ice Age dispensers might look very familiar. After all, some of these characters have been part of our collections for two decades. But don’t let their familiar appearance fool you! There are some interesting differences compared to the original dispensers.
While the new molds are very similar to their predecessors, they are not exactly identical.
Take Scrat, for example. His toes have been more clearly defined, and the stem now features the previously missing detail of the acorn’s stalk.
Diego has also received some subtle but noticeable changes. The corners of his mouth have been slightly raised, giving him a different expression, while his former single eyebrow has been replaced by two separate eyebrows.
And there’s more to look out for! Not only have the stem colors been switched around, but we can also expect some slight color variations compared to the earlier releases.
These are exactly the little details that make new releases so interesting for us collectors. What might look like a familiar dispenser at first glance can turn out to be something quite different once you take a closer look!
A Closer Look – Old vs. New!
Of course, we wouldn’t be PEZ Pals if we didn’t put the original Ice Age dispensers directly alongside their new counterparts for a proper comparison!
And there’s even more for collectors!
With the help of MoMoPEZ, we’ve put together a special pictorial featuring all the old and new Ice Age PEZ dispensers in one place.
It’s the perfect opportunity to take a trip through 20 years of Ice Age PEZ history and discover all the little differences between the original releases and the brand-new additions.
The new Ice Age dispensers should be making their way into European stores very soon, so it won’t be long before collectors can add these prehistoric favorites to their collections.
A Little Detail Worth Noticing!
Before we wrap things up, there’s one more detail we don’t want you to miss.
If you take a closer look at the new Ice Age blister cards, you’ll notice that the PEZ 100th Anniversary logo and design are already clearly visible on the card!
Four new dispensers, familiar characters, subtle mold changes, and plenty of details for collectors to discover!
We can’t wait to see these four new additions make their way into PEZ collections.
Happy Collecting!
