The 1991 Miss Piggy PEZ Dispenser Is the Muppet Diva Every Disney Collector Needs
A Diva Worth Collecting: The Miss Piggy 1991 PEZ Dispenser
Some candy dispensers just have star power. The 1991 Miss Piggy PEZ Dispenser from the beloved Muppets collection is one of those pieces that brings instant personality to any shelf. As someone who grew up with my grandmother's PEZ bowl always stocked (and yes, it featured Miss Piggy!), I can tell you that this particular dispenser hits all the right notes for collectors who appreciate character and design.
Miss Piggy, the fabulous and confident pig from The Muppets, was one of the standout figures in PEZ's 1991 Muppets series. What makes this dispenser special is the attention to detail in the sculpting. Those signature long eyelashes are molded right into the head, giving her that trademark glamorous look. The plastic construction is sturdy, with molded feet at the base that help it stand securely on a shelf or display case. Made in the Czech Republic, this vintage dispenser carries the official PEZ mark and original candy refill compatibility.
The 1991 Miss Piggy hits that sweet spot where nostalgia meets quality craftsmanship-it's not just a candy dispenser, it's a piece of Muppets history that feels as timeless as the character herself.
At roughly 4.5 inches tall, Miss Piggy fits perfectly among other PEZ dispensers without dominating a shelf, though her presence definitely stands out thanks to the detailed sculpt. She was part of a larger Muppets lineup that included Kermit and Animal, making her ideal for collectors building out a complete set. The 1991 vintage version is now officially retired, which only adds to its appeal for serious collectors.
What's particularly notable is how many different versions of Miss Piggy have been made over the decades. There's a 1999 remake, a 2012 variant, and even a jumbo version that plays the Muppets theme song when you dispense candy. But the 1991 original holds special status-it's the one that started it all for this character in the PEZ world. The piece is so culturally significant that it's even part of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History collection, which speaks volumes about its place in collectible history.
For display purposes, Miss Piggy pairs wonderfully with other Muppets dispensers or with a broader Disney PEZ collection. If you're a fan of character-driven collectibles, this is one where the personality truly shines through the design. I actually have a few versions in my collection, but that 1991 original holds court in my main display-it's the one I'm actively hunting to add to my needs list in Collectiblz. There's something special about owning the piece that started it all.
Whether you're a Muppets fanatic, a PEZ collector, or someone who appreciates well-designed vintage candy dispensers, the 1991 Miss Piggy deserves a home in your collection. She's proof that sometimes the best collectibles are the ones that bring a smile to your face every time you look at them.
