I'm set on getting a model 456 from their Etsy shop, but the colours currently available aren't really my first choice, and restocking seems to be taking a long time. The pink acrylic, Marshmallow, still looks most fun out of all of them, but those are, of course, well-lit promo photos, and I can't find any reviews showing the acrylic (in any model) under more realistic conditions.

To those of you who have the acrylic, are you happy? Is it more pastel rosé, or a really eye-searing Barbie pink? Photos would be much appreciated!

I don't have an answer for you, but I've also had a hard time knowing what some PenBBS models colors look like from the pictures. The finishes also can look a little different depending on lighting.

youtube recommendations works well today, only yesterday watched this thread and readed that you are looking for this color, and here today got recommendation with same pen https://youtu.be/H1fBoFMsCho?t=600 model 309 in same acrylic in this video, if timecode will not work it's right from 10 minute, tho for a small time only =(

not sure under which light conditions you want to see this acrylic but hope this will helps, cannot call it "well-lit promo video" because it's definitely just sun conditions.

 

the product number for this pen should be ***-47sf, couldn't find better photos/videos of someone having it on hand, but maybe you will.

Honestly, I have yet to get a penbbs acrylic that didn't look even better in person.

Selling a boatload of restored, fairly rare, vintage Japanese gold nib pens, click here to see (more added as I finish restoring them)

They look amazing in natural light!

 

If you like pink with some translucence to see the ink sloshing around inside, you should love the Marshmallow.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
