Ok, so Im in Orlando on holiday and happened to find myself in the MB boutique in Mall of Millenia. I may have been price checking the Kipling versus home (or not if my wife ever sees this). Its more expensive due to the £:$ collapse BTW....and....I asked about the Walt Disney...

 

They showed me the bible and O. M. G. What a pen. Its bloody awesome, in the standard and the LE versions. They will get it early, but should be out in the UK in December.

 

Its the first pen in a long time that has gone onto my must have list and when Im home Im straight into Bond Street to see if I can pre-order.

 

MB certainly got their design mojo back with this one!

The images I saw had no MM on the clip. The clip design was based on the pipes from the Steamboat Willy boat.

 

There was a MM outline that looked to be embossed on the barrel.

Has anyone seen any pictures of this on the net? I saw some descriptions but would love to see what it looks like, I'm a big Disney guy (and a DVC owner) so I wouldn't mind snagging one of these.

I see the special edition and the limited edition on the yearly MB book at my reseller. I didn't see the Artisan version (don't know if it was in the book or not). I have the photo someone posted on the forum few months ago before they were removed, we have a good view on the special edition, less of the limited. If needed I can send you a link in PM.

A couple of pictures have been posted (and obviously removed :) ) on this forum. I quite liked the pen, in particular the ballpoint version.

Does it have Micky Mouse on the clip?

Apparently on the barrel (according to the photo posted by another FPN member a couple of months ago).

I was born on Walt Disney's birthday, and he was a big influence on me when I went into the animation business. so of course I have to see this pen. Though at the reported price of $3000, I'm unsure how to justify it to the wife. Meanwhile, I'm looking for pens that Disney himself used. He reportedly was photographed with a Sheaffer Balance, but he was associated with promoting the Eversharp Skyliner. Guess I "need" both.

I saw pictures of it online a few months ago and have been waiting to see more ever since (those leaked images are still available on FPGeeks).

 

I wasn't that impressed with those pictures but I saw the official marketing book yesterday at a MB shop and was more intrigued. The sales person said the pen will be released around November or December.

 

I don't really care for some of the Disney animated movies (it seems like the protagonists' parents are often evil, dead, or incompetent) but I've really fallen for the Disney magic in their other services (we just got back from our first Disney cruise with our five young kids and loved it). I have the Disney Colibri pen and have been looking for the Namiki Disney pen for a while. I'm not sure if I'll buy the MB pen but I'm definitely considering it.

November arrives two days later here in East Asia.

2020 will be 鼠年, The Year of the Rat.

Is there any sign of an American Mouse clad in red and yellow, running around the back stock rooms of Montblanc Boutiques?

I saw the black special edition at MB boutique today including the ink and notebook. The cap has a dome shape. There is a yellow ring on the section and red ring on the piston part. The MM motif is on the back of the barrel. Very cute.

Your local Montblanc boutique is already displaying this model?

Remarkable! So much earlier than in other boutiques...or is it already officially on sale everywhere?

Did you handle it...or buy it?

What about the weight?

Is it a noticeably heavy model...or average?

Anything interesting about the ink or the notebook?

I saw the Artisan Edition (LE90; 37 kEuro) last week and handled it. No MM but other motifs from Disney; very colorful and (to me) sixties comic-style

 

Not my cup of tea but according to HQ the up-to-date most asked for Artisan LE.

After looking on the American Montblanc website I found that all the versions (minus the artisan) are already listed but you do need to search for them - they are not listed with the other GC editions. Looks like the SE, ink and notebook are already available for purchase.

Thank you for posting the links above.

It seems that the Montblanc Walt Disney is off and running.

May it find a welcome reception everywhere!

      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
