Sci-Fi USB Candy Dispensers

Get Your Storage and Sugar Fix with These Star Wars USB Pez Dispensers

— February 7, 2013 — Tech
Get ready to launch your childhood nostalgia into warp drive with these Star Wars USB Pez dispensers. Created by DHHdesign, the Star Wars USB Pez dispensers will help anyone get their storage and sugary sweets needs met in one uniquely fun package.

Storage sizes range from 2-8 GB and feature the likenesses of many favorite Star Wars settings and characters, like the Death Star, Darth Vader, R2D2 and C3P0. If Star Wars isn't your thing, DHHdesign also offers USB Pez Dispensers and Pez-less USB storage drives featuring other popular franchises like Garfield, Ghostbusters, Shrek, Wizard of Oz, Spider-man, Superman and the Muppets.

My personal favorite is the Batmobile design, even though that particular one lacks the Pez dispensing qualities of the Star Wars models.

Trend Themes
1. USB Collectible Merchandise - The rise of USB Pez dispensers and other themed USB storage drives presents opportunities for brands to create collectible merchandise that combines storage functionality with nostalgia.
2. Multifunctional Novelty Gadgets - The popularity of Star Wars USB Pez dispensers highlights the demand for multifunctional novelty gadgets that serve both practical and entertainment purposes.
3. Branded Collaborations - The collaboration between DHHdesign and popular franchises like Star Wars, Garfield, Ghostbusters, and Superman demonstrates the potential for brands to partner and create unique, branded USB storage devices.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can leverage the trend of USB Pez dispensers and other novelty USB gadgets to attract customers with unique, fun storage options.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - The entertainment merchandise industry can explore opportunities to expand their product offerings by incorporating USB storage drives with popular characters and franchises, appealing to fans and collectors alike.
3. Promotional Products - The promotional products industry can tap into the demand for USB storage drives by creating customized designs and branded collaborations that serve as memorable and useful promotional items.
