Reference: Staedtler 925 25/35 Limited Editions


Since 2005, Staedtler has released numerous special limited editions of the 925 25/35 series. As is often the case, there’s very little information available direct from the manufacturer and most are heard about by way of other MP enthusiasts.

The table below lists what I believe to be all the limited editions released thus far, and although they repeated a few colors, there is something about each edition that makes them identifiable - except for the re-releases - which you wouldn’t be able to tell in most cases.

As far as I know, there have been at least 80 limited editions released since the first 2005 Silver Meister limited. Along the way there have been some re-releases such as the Tokyu Hands Black Meister with a box in 2015 and then again but without the box in 2017, and several Kinokuniya Bookstore releases, leaving 75 unique editions. Here are 72 of them.

Not shown in the image are the original Silver Maestro and the Pokemon Card Lounge Black and Silver (which I’m honestly kind of ignoring).

What an absolutely stellar collection! It’s like you caught the bug from Jimmy (P20x). :smirk::wink:

Quite an investment as well. Did you buy as soon as they were announced/released, or waited for a lull to buy at a good price? Which ones would you say are your favorites? Not just color but also any other accents that are present and possibly unique?

Cheers for this!

I have been able to keep up with new releases through your posts so special thanks! Still the main missing link in mine is the Asuka edition.

It seems Staedtler Japan only ever did that one Evangelion collab, probably because Asuka’s Unit 2 was originally based in Germany. And… it is one of the few limited editions that is numbered on the 925 25 line rather than the 925 35 line. I can feel it breaking down my Absolute Terror Field.

Ok, ok, amazing and inspiring collection from @Heath, but…

Am I the only one here who has been totally mesmerised by the ginormous pencil sitting on the display case where all those Staedtlers stand (black enamel, hexagonal body clearly a prop)? :smiley:

As often happens to me, came for the content of the collection, stayed for the silly detail.

I definitely didn’t start out to get them all but I saw the Champagne Gold Tokyu Hands and had to have it along with all the other blacked out Hands editions. Then I just wanted the matte silver ones, then a few of the gold ones and then and then and you all know how it goes. :rofl:

The latest Sekaido Green is really stunning in person - you can see a bit of it in the picture, but the grip has an amazing sheen to it. I also love the latest Korean Dark Violet, Orange Red and Olive Green - again with the blacked out bits and bright yellow lead hardness indicators are great color combos.

I started buying these at the end of 2021 and caught up right before the end of 2022. Now I just stay on top of them and buy as soon as I hear about the release - which is invariably through @cuirassier! :raised_hands:

That’s cool about the Germany connection! As you pointed out, not only is it one of few 925 25 specials, It’s also the 2nd 925 25 special edition released.

Haha, that is an actual working pencil that my wife got me last year and she’s thrilled it got some attention! :smile:

Especially given what’s out there… the much more common vices… some are very stressful for a spouse. This is so easy. And if she has a large shoe collection, that’s probably even more expensive! :smirk::smile:
