== Disney Pens ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' In Japan, they do this frequently. And I'm sad that we can't always get this kind of stuff over here. I would love to have some of these princess pencils. You know, for me, I would use it. I would totally use them. I'm all about some Bell. And I thought it was funny that the Tinkerbell one is the 0.3 millimeter lead. I find that endlessly hilarious, right? Because she's tiny. So she gets the 0.3 millimeter lead diameter, which I think is just hilarious. Do you think that's...

'''Myke Hurley:''' I mean, it seems too good to be true, right?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah. I mean, and she's the only one that's 0.3 millimeter. So there's Ariel, Rapunzel...

'''Myke Hurley:''' Dude, these things are on Amazon for like five pounds. Like other Disney series ones. Cool. Like not the princesses. But I just found a Mickey Mouse one on here.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Okay, cool. That's sweet looking. Uniball and Zebra and Pilot and Pentel in Japan do all kinds of cool branding things. Lots of characters. Lots of neat stuff that we never see over here. Like, you know, I did the Hello Kitty Uniball Sino DX that JetPens got a hold of. And they'll get a hold of them from time to time, but they don't get all of them. So I thought this was super neat. And I wanted to share that because I really enjoy stuff like this. Especially on a pencil like the Kuratoga.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Really weirdly, it doesn't say Mickey Mouse in the description. It says Miche Glove. Huh. I don't know if that's like a really bad translation. Yeah, maybe. Or something. But they're clear. So I'm going to get one or two of these and I'll let you know. Because they're like five pounds. So that's not like... Cool. They look really cool. I mean, it's like a similar kind of, you know, Disney. But they don't have the Princesses ones just yet. But they're being imported from one of those stores.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, like an Amazon storefront from Japan or wherever. Yeah, there's several. Amazon's really expanded in that.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Oh my God. There's a Myke Wazowski one.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Oh.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I'm going down a deep, deep rabbit hole here, my friend. You are. But that one's like... That one's 16 pounds.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Wow.

'''Myke Hurley:''' I would totally get that. You carry on with the show. I'll be back in a little while.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' No, no, because I need your help with the next one. I want to get your opinion on this next thing. Okay. Which is, I think, pretty cool. It's as cool as the Princesses thing, I think. And it's called Blackwing Volumes. Probably a bunch of listeners have seen this, making the rounds in the blogosphere. But Blackwing, the pencil maker in pencils.com, is coming out with a limited edition Blackwing subscription service.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Huh.
