The Cruella de Vil Funko POP+PEZ Dispenser Is the Disney Villain Every Character Collector Needs to Track Down
Welcome to the World of Disney's Most Diabolical Dispenser
If you are a fan of villains done right, this one is going to stop you mid-scroll. The Disney Villains - Cruella de Vil - Funko POP+PEZ is exactly the kind of crossover collectible that makes the PEZ hobby so endlessly fun - it brings together iconic character design, the bold Funko POP aesthetic, and a genuinely villainous subject who earns her top-tier status every single time.
The Dispenser at a Glance
Released in 2019 under the PEZ x Funko collaboration banner, this dispenser is part of the Disney Villains POP+PEZ set - a four-piece lineup featuring Cruella de Vil, Maleficent, the Evil Queen, and Ursula. All four were introduced in 2019 and are now retired, making the complete set a genuinely satisfying goal for Disney-focused PEZ collectors. Each dispenser in the set includes one assorted fruit PEZ candy refill, is peanut, tree nut, and gluten free, made in the USA, and recommended for ages 3 and up.
The POP+PEZ format gives each character an oversized, stylized head sculpt in the signature Funko POP proportion - slightly enlarged cranium, small circular eyes, and simplified facial features that still manage to capture a character's core personality. For Cruella, that personality is unmistakable: black and white swept hair, sharp angular features, and an expression that reads as both theatrical and menacing. The sculpt leans into the graphic, high-contrast look that makes Cruella such a visually iconic character in the first place.
What Makes This Sculpt Stand Out
The black and white hair split is the detail that really does the heavy lifting here. In the POP+PEZ scale, there is not a lot of surface area to work with, but the hair sculpt manages to convey the dramatic split color pattern without losing the silhouette. The paint application on the fur-collar area adds a small but appreciated secondary layer of texture to the overall character read. POP-style dispensers walk a fine line between character accuracy and stylization, and the Cruella sculpt lands firmly on the right side of it.
The Disney Villains set is one of those runs where every character was cast perfectly - Maleficent, Ursula, the Evil Queen, and Cruella. PEZ and Funko understood that this group needed to be together, and displaying all four side by side makes a statement that a single dispenser simply cannot.
The Full Disney Villains POP+PEZ Set
One of the things I appreciate most about this release is that PEZ and Funko put together such a strong villain roster. Alongside Cruella, the set includes Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty - whose horned silhouette translates exceptionally well to the POP format - the Evil Queen from Snow White, who comes across as regal and severe in equal measure, and Ursula from The Little Mermaid, whose broad features and dramatic presence make her one of the more expressive sculpts in the entire POP+PEZ lineup. Collecting all four gives you a villain gallery that doubles as a genuinely striking shelf display.
Each of the four dispensers shares the same standard PEZ stem construction, keeping the format consistent across the set. That uniformity actually works in the display's favor - the characters read as a cohesive unit while each sculpt still has its own distinct personality and color palette.

On My Need List
I have been tracking the Cruella de Vil POP+PEZ for a while now. The combination of a retired status, a strong villain roster, and the Funko crossover format makes this one harder to resist every time I come across it. I have it on my need list in the Collectiblz app - if you are building out a Disney villain display or filling in your POP+PEZ run, the app is a great place to track what you have and what you are still hunting for.
Display Ideas
The four-piece Disney Villains set looks striking displayed together on a dedicated villain shelf or as part of a broader Disney PEZ collection. The contrasting colors - Cruella's black and white, Maleficent's deep purple, the Evil Queen's crimson and black, Ursula's bold purple - create natural visual variety without any additional staging. If you are building a themed Disney villain display, pairing this group with other villain-focused Disney merchandise creates a cohesive thematic space that goes well beyond PEZ alone.
