Baby Yoda Pez Heads Are On The Way
Ah, Pez Heads. The lovable candy dispensers that were once everything we needed to make candy time that little bit better. Just when you thought things couldn’t get better, be prepared; Baby Yoda Pez Heads are on the way.
Adding To The Collection
There has been an enormous number of Pez Heads over the years. Celebrities, our favorite characters – there is no end to the number of Pez Heads in the world. Now, it’s time to welcome Baby Yoda to the collection. The images were first spotted on social media and were enough to send many Baby Yoda fans into a spin. After all, it’s been years since the original Yoda Pez Heads were retired from production.
Its Own Collection
Not only are we getting Baby Yoda Pez Heads, but we’re also getting an entire collection dedicated to them. The Pez Head will come with strawberry, lemon, and grape flavors, but that’s not all. It’s also rumored that Baby Yoda’s version could also come with a Baby Yoda plush, depending on the collection you add to your cart.
Not Alone
Baby Yoda Pez Heads – does life get better? It turns out the answer is yes! Pez has also announced they are making a Harry Potter set, too. These come with our favorite characters, including Dumbledore, Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. Although the Harry Potter set is already available on the Pez store, we will have to wait a little longer before we can get our hands on the Baby Yoda version.
Baby Yoda took over the world thanks to the success of ‘The Mandalorian,’ and it doesn’t look as though he will be going anywhere anytime soon. Now, we can enjoy some of our favorite candy in even more style thanks to the fact that Baby Yoda Pez Heads are on the way.
