A little over a year ago, I reached out to Joe with a very specific PEZ collector problem.
PEZWEDGE Creations by Joe — Designed by a Collector, for Collectors
I wanted my mini Barky’s to all sit at the same height inside my display cabinet. For some reason, the uneven arrangement between the taller and shorter dispensers absolutely drove me crazy.
So I asked Joe if he thought there might be a way to solve the issue.
That simple conversation eventually led to the creation of the Maximizer.
I explained what I was envisioning, and Joe immediately understood exactly what was needed. Once the idea came to life, my family and I sat around brainstorming names until we finally landed on the perfect one.
Joe then refined the design to perfection — and since then, he’s produced the Maximizers in a wide variety of fantastic colors.
What makes Joe so special is that he truly understands collectors.
He doesn’t just create products — he creates thoughtful solutions that help display our collections in the best possible way.
And honestly? His creativity within the PEZ hobby has been incredible to watch over the years.
Joe is also the mastermind behind the:
✨ PEZWEDGE Original
✨ PEZWEDGE Giant
✨ PEZWEDGE Mini
✨ PEZWEDGE Incline
✨ PEZWEDGE Brick
✨ The Maximizer
These ingenious creations were specifically designed to hold PEZ dispensers open beautifully, making autographs and displays look absolutely fantastic.
It’s always inspiring to see collectors like Joe bring new ideas and innovation into the hobby. People like him truly help make the PEZ community such a fun and creative place.
