M205 Star Ruby

[chravagni]

... 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.

LcDC has it on their site. It’s nice but not something I would buy.

[SquelchB]

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

[LyaT]

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?

I like the idea of pairing the pen and ink together- makes an attractive package.

[Karmachanic]

Easier on the wallet if purchased separately.

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.

That glittering picture looks really nice!

Sailor has been issuing glitter productions for awhile

[chromantic]

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

[MsRedpen]

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

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

(Funds saved!)

[Gobblecup]

I for one am happy Hannover took a page out of the Sailor design manual.

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
