{"product_id":"sun-star-peronimal-animal-gel-pen","title":"Sun-Star Peronimal Animal Gel Pen – 0.5 mm Novelty Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003ePeronimal is Sun-Star's animal pen series: each figure is a small dog or cat with a 0.5 mm gel-ink pen hidden inside. Pull the animal's tongue and the tip slides out of its mouth; let go and the tip retreats again, so there is no cap to lose and no ink mark waiting in your pencil case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOne mechanism, five animals\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe trick is the same on every Peronimal: the tongue doubles as the slider. Pull it forward, write, then push it back and the nib sits behind the animal's lips. What changes between the figures is the character — the French Bulldog is the compact, heavy-browed classic, the Shiba Inu has the folded ears and curled tail silhouette, the Schnauzer carries the longest muzzle of the group, The Dog is the floppy-eared beige one, and the Exotic Shorthair is the flat-faced cat with wide-set eyes. All five use the same black gel ink and the same tip, so the choice is purely which face you want on your desk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun-Star Peronimal Pen (animal ballpoint pen)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTip\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5 mm ball\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInk\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack gel ink\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW20 × H156 × D15 mm (French Bulldog, Shiba Inu, Exotic Shorthair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eW29 × H157 × D15 mm (Schnauzer, The Dog)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 8 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABS body, TPR for the soft parts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackaging\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNone — supplied as the bare figure\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of manufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChina\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes and materials above follow Sun-Star's own product page for the Peronimal pen.

Because the pen has no separate cap, the pull-tongue action is the only thing you open — useful when you are holding a notebook in one hand. The figures are light enough to clip nothing down and take up the corner of a pencil case rather than a full slot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eGood to know before you order\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo retail packaging is included; the pen ships as the figure itself, which matters if you are buying it as a gift and want a box.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe ears and tongue are TPR, a soft rubbery plastic.
