Alex the Lion is the original pez release for the DreamWorks Animation movie Madagascar! The original Alex came in two distinctly different variations. This is the version on the right with no line from the nose to the mouth. The two different Alex Lions are shown loose for comparison, but the pez you purchase with no line will comes mint in package with candies (bags may vary)! There is a third variation which was released for Madagascar 2 in 2008 which features much a much lighter head and which does have the line from nose to mouth.
