Variations

• Version A was originally released in the 1970's with red lips.
  • A remake with updated stencils was released in the early 1990's. This re-release has purple lips.
• Version B features a restyled head with more cartoon-like features and was available as a glow-in-the-dark in certain color combinations.

The common variations of version A have the word PEZ stenciled across the hat. An unusual variation exists with the word "Rico" on the hat. This was intended for Spanish speaking markets where "Pez" translates as fish -- "rico" translates as "tasty" or "delicious".
