Welcome to my Pentel Clic collection thread. I’ve been a little obsessed with these for the last 4-5 years after initially developing an interest in them back in 1987. My grade 3 teacher had a transparent charcoal PD345 on his desk and something about the side knock and the transparent barrel caught my eye! At that time they were ~$6 in K-mart.
Sadly, I’m still missing a few (not that this is in any way an official request):
PD515 Pop’npop black/grey
PD335 Purple-coloured clip non-Pop’npop
PD1065 red
PD15 red with a cap
PD345 clear clic II black, blue
PQ11 persons. Orange, red, pink. Not sure about these.
PD359 Quickcolour blue
PD345 white
You’ll notice that I do not have any rubber grip versions. IMO, they’re an abomination. Shame on you, Pentel! I also don’t really like the newer versions like the Piannisimo.
Finally, if anyone from Pentel is reading this, please bring the original back into production.
What a collection! I LOVE seeing this since I pretty much the same collection.
I do not include the PD1065 or PD1055 in my QC/Clic family collection category. I also do not collect any of the rubber grip, nor the Piannisimo. I also do not collect the PD15.
The PQ11 Persons ShowerMan came in orange, pink, green.
If you’re going after the all white PD345 then the all black PD335 is a good score too. Both were used for promotional items.
Since you have the Disney Quickcolors there’s also an all clear DPD with Mickey and another with Goofy.
Although it wouldn’t be official, you have all the parts to make a clear and black Clear Clic ii.
There’s also the original set of PD347 with Clic 7 printed on the side like on the PD345 with Pentel 5. There’s also Clic 9.
Mate, there’s too much detail in your reply to know where to start. How is it that every time I post this collection, you find new holes in it? I fill the gaps I know about, only for more to appear, lol.
Firstly, thanks for the kind words. Next, despite my words above, I want to know about any gaps so I can keep up the hunt, so thanks for the info.
As you know, I’m not all that committed to the PD15. They’re currently just gap-fillers. I’d happily squeeze them out with DPDs or other PDs.
I like the PD1055 and 1065 but I can see why you don’t include them. They might also be squeezed out eventually.
Thanks for the correction on the PQ11 colours too.
My pleasure! I used to like to vicariously spend @pearsonified’s money but he’s slowed down spending big moolah on pencils to collect Barbie dolls and postage stamps. You’re all I have now.
I need a sub-category for the PD345 white, PD335 black and PD335 white with black accents. That’s a dangerous slope though, because promo items are arguably not ‘pure’ pieces and god knows how few/many of them are in existence!
