🎙️ Get Dispensed: The PEZ Podcast Episode 41 – “PEZ Masters of the Universe: Custom Art with Martin Kreitlein”

Get ready, Pez Posse — this episode is an absolute powerhouse of nostalgia, creativity, and custom art magic!

This week, Greg (your Down Under Pez Hunter) travels — figuratively — to the stunning Franconia region of northern Bavaria, home of medieval towns, legendary brewing traditions, and one very imaginative artist.

Meet Martin Kreitlein — SAP Analytics Consultant by day, creative visionary by night, and the mind behind some of the wildest and most inventive Masters of the Universe x PEZ custom figures you’ve ever seen. With nearly 350 custom pieces under his belt — including about 70 MOTU–PEZ hybrids — Martin has redefined what a PEZ dispenser can be.

In this episode, Greg and Martin dive into:

🍬 Martin’s earliest PEZ memories

🍬 Growing up with Masters of the Universe in 1980s Franconia

🍬 How selling his childhood toys led to rediscovering the spark decades later

🍬 The journey from collector → creator → published author

🍬 Why he rebuilt his entire MOTU collection — and later sold it to pursue art full-time

🍬 The very first time he fused a MOTU body with a PEZ head

🍬 His boldest, most imaginative crossover creations

🍬 What he’d save if he could only grab five custom figures in an emergency

🍬 His dream lineup for an official PEZ x MOTU wave

And of course…

🔥 A Rapid Fire Round

🔥 The Question of the Week

🔥 A look into his two brilliant books:

How to Build Action Figures from PEZ-Dispensers (Parts 1 & 2)
