    Default Sailor Badtz Maru pen

    Hi everyone, I just bought this pen, probably overpaid, but it was the only one on offer and I am a diehard fountain pen AND Badtz-Maru collector, so I had to. I haven’t been able to find anything out about it through Sailor’s website or online. I was hoping someone more into Sailors could point me in the right direction. I was wondering when it was made, if there are other characters, and how much the retail price was when available. I have a feeling it’s more of a school pen than anything else.

    The base model is a Sailor Clear Candy, available in various colours and themed versions. I think it may be discontinued.
    There was also a Sailor My First, essentially the same pen but packaged in a set with an extra calligraphy nib. I believe that's also discontinued.

    I’m not sure what the problem is, as they are appearing for me in Safari on my iPad. I can try and attach the ebay link, and hopefully that will work. https://www.ebay.com/itm/294281976491

    Thank you for all of this information, it’s super useful! The fact that it’s a discontinued Sanrio item definitely drives up the price. Now that I know what type of Sailor it is, I can figure out how to ink it.

    The My First takes a standard Sailor converter. I guess the Clear Candy would too.

    The sticker says "Sanrio Candy FP 600 Badtzu Maru Standing"

    I'd guess 600 was the price in yen.

    So the seller damaged the pen while packaging it and is issuing a refund. I’m rather sad about it. Now that I know it exists, I have to keep an eye out for it.
