The weirdly stubby Platinum Preppy

It’s a weird looking pencil. It reminds me of something TOMBOW would likely make. Almost comical, the proportions. Anyone here have one of these?

A recent auction (YAJ, Aucfree) was a bid clash between local accounts (none apparently proxy), ending at ¥5000.

Sounds like the nefarious Mitsubishi Art Pencil 2mm that nobody ever cared about until they got sold for ¥5000… and now you can’t even get one.

(my instinct tells me that’s okay)

I picked up one of those a while ago. Thought it was a cool pencil!

Judging by the “3” in Eames-ish looking font, I think that’s a funky Kinto

Good point!

That’s so friggin’ goofy! “DON’T PELORAN”? I wonder if that’s a weird translation for a play on words?
