The 2009 Cherub PEZ Dispenser Is the Valentine's Day Angel Essential Every Romance-Loving Collector Craves
A Valentine's Day Treasure for the Devoted Collector
Hello there, fellow candy lovers! Today I'm absolutely thrilled to share one of my favorite Valentine's Day finds with you - the 2009 Cherub PEZ Dispenser. This delightful angel is everything you want in a Valentine-themed collectible, and I'm excited to tell you all about why it has earned a special spot in my collection.
The Character Design
The Cherub dispenser features an adorable cupid-inspired character with a peaceful, gentle expression that perfectly captures the Valentine's Day spirit. The sculpting is clean and charming, with well-defined facial features and smooth paint application. The head sits atop the classic PEZ body, maintaining that iconic cylindrical form we all know and love. The color palette is soft and romantic - perfect for the season of love.
Release Details and Rarity
Released in 2009 as part of PEZ's Valentine collection, the Cherub joined other heart-themed dispensers that year. What makes this particular release noteworthy is its relative scarcity compared to other Valentine options from that same year. This Valentine Pez has been in rather short supply, making it a genuine find for serious collectors. The 2009 release year also gives it a nice vintage appeal - far enough back to feel special, but not so distant that finding one in good condition is impossible.
Display and Collection Value
What I love most about the Cherub is how it fits into a Valentine-themed display or a broader PEZ collection. Whether you're grouping your Valentine dispensers together or organizing by year, this piece brings warmth and character to any shelf. It's the kind of dispenser that makes people smile when they see it - that gentle angel face is hard to resist.
I actually have this one on my needs list in the Collectiblz app, and I check in regularly hoping to find another pristine example to add to my collection. Finding PEZ dispensers in perfect condition is becoming increasingly challenging, which is why I love having a way to keep track of my collecting goals.
The beauty of collecting Valentine-themed PEZ is that you get a piece that celebrates both the holiday and the artistry of the dispenser itself - it's nostalgia wrapped in candy.
A Collector's Perspective
My grandmother kept a bowl of PEZ on her kitchen counter growing up, and I remember thinking the designs were magical. That's what drew me to start collecting these little treasures intentionally as a young adult. The 2009 Cherub reminds me why I fell in love with PEZ in the first place - it's not just candy, it's art. Every February, I think about Valentine collections like this one and remember why Valentine's Day has always been my favorite time to hunt for new additions.
