... I've seen today for the first time the advertising pictures of the next m205 limited edition. It looks that it has some glitter in the dark red transparent body.

Saw that too. Not sure what to think of it, based on the pictures. One pen that must be seen in real life for sure.

Yes, yes, YES!!! Finally! I mean, it's not like I really need a pink shimmering pen, but I just can't abandon a collection going on :)

I could not see any shimmering in the marketing photos. I like the concept of a pink shimmering pen, do I need another M205? My collection is growing too quickly. I have five birds now, another M805 is flying my way too, can I really handle another one...

 

I am looking forward to the Pelikan hub next month, maybe someone will bring the new M205 and I will get convinced.

I'm wondering if the package "pen + related ink" would be appreciated or not, in my website.

Of course, it should cost a little bit more, compared to the pen alone, but this ruby ink is the Ink Color of the Year (2019) and it looks so nice!

 

What do you think?

Nice to see Pelikan release a colorful pen. Personally I don't like it because it seems to be pinkish and glittery. I'm still hoping to get a red M200 like the Mars red or the red demonstrator.

The glitter really caught me by surprise. Definitely not what we are used to from the company. I can’t wait to see what it looks like in person as I’ve learned to not trust the pre-release photos. I’m also curious what this may portend for future releases.

This is the photo shared by Pelikan.

It's quite glittered indeed, but me too thinks that it could be quite soberer in person.

 

Pelikan already enhanced colors and shades in preview photos, in the past (for example the Ocean Swirl, or the Stone Garden)

I find it very interesting... they should most definitely come out with glitter pens in other colors too, with more bold experiments along those lines.

Hmm, I would have preferred a shimmery marbled rather than the translucent glitter but we'll see.

It's hard work to tell which is Old Harry when everybody's got boots on.

Noo... glitter is just not... right..

Than again, I am also not enamored with Star Ruby ink colour.

Very cool pen! I like it much more than the red M200 demonstrator I bought way back in 2008 ....

... and I do like the Star Ruby Ink as well.

I'm not a huge fan of glitter, but i think it looks good in this model.

I was going to say the same thing! The red and the glitter combined add a touch of magic to the pen

      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
