A limited addition Wizard of Oz Pez has come out. The Pez set includes busts of your favorite Wizard of Oz characters: Dorothy, Scarecrow, Tinman, Lion, Toto, Wicked Witch, Glinda the good witch, and the floating head of Oz. The Wizard of Oz is a super classic movie and its' characters have been loved for over 70 years. The same can be said for the candy Pez. But the beloved Pez corporation has forgotten key characters in its arsenal of fantastic Oz, L. Frank Baum and W.W. Denslow conceived, personality. They left out a representative for the Munchkins and the Flying Monkeys. Why would they put in Glinda or even the damn head of Oz, and not put in these other notable characters? The Munchkins even have a wide variety of representatives to choose from, such as the Lollipop Kids, the egg babies, and the dude who's the Mayor guy. As for the Flying Monkeys, they have been seen in like a million different things, even the hit show the Simpson's and the nightmares of all the little children who saw this acid induced film. The Munchkins and Flying Monkeys are by no means main characters, but nor is that stupid head of Oz. The floating green head of Oz is a machine run by a weird old man who has a funny face, hangs out creepily behind curtains all day, and who isn't phased by a witch murdering little girl. They should have put the real "wizards" face on the Pez top, not the green head of a machine. Pez should add in the missing characters or create another serious; so those of us who desire to get credit for characters they played in high school get some type of trophy and validation for licking giant lollipops in shorty shorts or getting their flammable wings caught in lighting units.

Or Pez could do one better and make the Wheelers from Return to Oz (weirdest things ever!).
