[Pen/Pencil Review] Reindeer Bird Christmas Ballpoint Pen
It’s not a holiday season without at least one funny novelty pen. This one was from the last trip to DAISO. It’s silly and fluffy and cheap. I had to have it.
This is a fluffy brown, duck-billed, flamingo thing wearing reindeer antlers and a jingle bell ball point pen. The ink point is a 0.7mm because the Japanese like their fine points.. The pen is about 8 inches to the top of the head of the bird and 9.5†to the top of the antlers. It has a “foot†as a cap that allows it to stand up.
For a novelty pen, it does write fairly well. The barrel is narrow and there’s a twist in the feather/fluff body – but that is well beyond the thumb web when you hold it. The ink flows well and it’s just adorable.
Because it’s goofy, it doesn’t matter if it last long. It’s a great little holiday pen that was super cheap, so if it doesn’t last long, it’s no big deal.
The Numbers.
1. How does it work? – 0.5 – It’s better than I expected. It’s decent ink and flow. It’s thinner and longer than I like, but it’s fun.
2. Look and feel – 1 – It’s not bad for a novelty pen. It’s long, but fairly well-balanced for all of that.
3. Material – 1 It’s inexpensive plastic with a fluff and decoration.
4. Overall Design – 0.5 – It’s an adorable novelty, not an overly functional pen.
5. Price Point – 1 – This is from DAISO. It’s $1.50. Enough said.
4 out of 5 bronze pencils.
