I'm a collector of many many things. I usually just tell people that I collect hobbies. My first collection of things that I paid for (ie.. not rocks or bugs) was PEZ dispensers. I started when I was in middle school by buying a Smurf dispenser for 79 cents at a drug store in the mall. In a matter of months I had a line of them on the windowsill by my bed. Skip forward 25 years and I have a little over a thousand with custom display cases. I'm still really into them, but I stopped being a completist about 10 years ago. I still buy almost every new dispenser I see, but I don't go crazy with exclusives, chases, and foreign releases any more. It's pretty rare when two of my hobbies overlap, but when they do I get very exited. Just like every other plastic medium, female characters often get unfairly left out out of the mix. Sure, there are lots of girl-centric lines like Princesses, Barbie, My Little Pony, etc. But the girl characters in most of the other licenses never see the light of day. Let's check out Wonder Woman below!

PEZ Batman v Superman - WONDER WOMAN!

PEZ Dark Knight Rises CATWOMAN Dispenser!
Comic Version Selina PEZ for June's DKR-Themed Assortment?
If this photo posted on the Official PEZ Facebook page (by a member, not PEZ itself!) is real and not an elaborate fake, then I will be drunk on little candy bricks all summer as a horde as many of these beautiful ladies as I can find :) I've mentioned on this blog before that I am a collector of many many many things.. it's genetic. I can count the family members who don't obsessively collect things on one hand. One of my first and longest-running collections is PEZ. At my last inventory I had over 800 different dispensers and that was years ago. Anyway, I mention this because it's a very rare thing indeed when two hobbies come together like this. I will definitely get one dispenser for my PEZ collection and one for my Catwoman collection, and a few dozen more for posterity.
