BARKINA PEZ


BARKINA PEZ

In 2009, the Animal Welfare League's Western Suburbs Branch in Autralia created this Pez dispenser called "BARKINA." This Pez was not released or sold in the USA and are not packaged in traditional Pez wrappings; they were sold "loose" and without candy.

BARKINA has a dark red glitter head, pink lips, light brown eyes, brown eyelashes and printing on the stem - "Black Saturday" and "paws" printed on the front and a "Memorial yellow ribbon and date" printed on side. There were only 1000 pieces made..., 250 each of 4 different colored print versions; White, Black, Silver, and Gold. These Pez dispensers were released in honor of ALL the animals that have been affected by the BLACK SATURDAY bushfires that devestated Victoria Australia in Feb 2009. All profits on the "original" sales of this Pez Dispenser went to several different Rescue and Wildlife Organizations in Australia to help with the ongoing care of the bushfire animals.

I need to get a silver Barkina to complete my set!
