BUT IN BIGGER - 001

I keep finding black markers that I wish I could include in my collection, but they don’t fit the size criteria because they are too small or narrow. Thought I should still put em’ up in the blog, but under this BUT IN BIGGER - 000 heading. 

MAGIC INK M-700

I have the stubby glass bottle marker from the same company. I wonder what other products they make. Too bad this thing wasn’t bigger. Great logo, and markings, and metal construction. Gonna be good to marker hunt in Japan.

TO B OR NOT TO B.I.B ?

That is the question. This is the…

QUESTION MARKER - Got this marker last saturday from DIET ONE. He picked this up at Tokyu Hands 3 years ago. It’s only a matter of time before I scour that place for gems myself. This became an instant TOP 10 of my marker collection as soon as I saw it. Nice box packaging with that rising M in the magic ink wordmark. Nice yellow black white color combo throughout. And that question mark element seals the deal. Because I can’ t read Japanese. So I am like “what?where?when?how?why?” is this marker ? Look top down, side views, all angles of the box packaging, and every detail is meant to there, serves a purpose, and just looks good. Even the cardboard fray amongst the edges. Even the Tokyu Hands price tag.

Then you pop the box open and its a mini glass barrel metal tip marker ? Yikes. Dangerous. I don’t know any other company making glass barrel markers for the current market, so this is definitely a special piece. I am sure i’ll enjoy it just as much, if not more, 50 years from now. Classic.

The obsessive multiples guy in me will probably buy a huge lot of these before the year ends.

DAISO STUFFS

Another fine selection of Daiso bought black markers. I don’t understand why they have such a varied selection of similar product, but I am glad they do. All these markers are good to excellent quality and offer amazing value for money. Other non marker purchases I made were. An inflatable toy with a baseball playing fox on it. Black modeling clay.Plastic bag gun shooting streamer toys.

A-PEN TWIN MARKER –

SAKURA – Such a nice light grey blue color combo.

5mm CHISEL TIP –

OIL-BASED TWIN TIP –

ZEBRA RE-USE –

PROCKEY !

I got my first uniPROCKEY from some Japanese kid who was over here visiting. He had a red one and a bunch of black ones. I dunno why, but I really like the sound of that word. PROCKEY. Anyways, found the North American version sometime later in another friends marker stash. Picked up the stubby PROCKEY from, wow I wish I could remember. These are my favorite markers ever.

JAPANESE UNI PROCKEY – All dried up from using it tons. Made really nice smooth lines. Twin tip, chisel and bullet. Design wise, really clean lines with ridges on both sides of the caps. Kind of reminds me of the look of sci fi laser guns. This is my absolute favorite marker to use, and one of my Top 5 favorite markers in my entire collection. I wish I had boxes and boxes of them.

NORTH AMERICAN UNI PROCKEY – Same design as the Japanese version, but the label is on a sticker, than applied to the marker.

UNI PROCKEY – Stubby Chisel tip, makes bold lines of heavy black ink. This is a durable, dependable top quality marker.
