Pez Girl (Red Hair)

The Pez Girl, also known as the Pez Boy or Pez Girl depending on the specific variation in the Ad Icons series, was released by Funko to celebrate the enduring legacy of the PEZ candy brand. The design draws inspiration from the vintage PEZ dispensers that became a global pop culture phenomenon following their introduction in the 1950s. This figure captures the clean, simplistic aesthetic that defined the brand's mid-century marketing, serving as a nostalgic nod to the colorful plastic heads that sparked a massive wave of global collecting.

Designed within the signature Funko Pop style, the figure features the oversized head and stylized facial features characteristic of the vinyl toy line. The artists aimed to translate the classic, blocky appearance of the iconic dispensers into a collectible figurine form. Upon its release, the Ad Icons series was well-received by both long-time candy collectors and toy enthusiasts, as it successfully bridged the gap between the confectionary world and modern designer collectibles, cementing its place in the broader narrative of twentieth-century advertising iconography.
