I do not remember when I first saw these pencil, but they were first released in 2013 in Singapore. My first encounter with these was actually the White one that was later released in Canada in a 2-pack with a standard black P205A, when I purchased it in December 2014. This was also the first time I had encountered a P200 pencil with printing, that did not print the model number printed on it.
I finally got a hold of a full set of these in September 2016 from a dealer in Singapore. I ordered them off eBay and received the 5 pencils above. I later ordered another set and the dealer sent them to me in the original packages, which came with a package of Ain 0.5 2B lead.
The original set are in my display cases and the packaged set is on my display board.
P205-BSG
This is the Red version of the pencil. As I said above, this set of pencils are the first time I encountered this short style of printed text.
As far as I have seen, this pencil, along with the next two (CSG & GSG), are only available from Singapore.
P205-CSG
The Blue version.
P205-GSG
The Yellow version. I do like the contrast of the red text on the yellow pencil.
P205-PSG
The Pink version available from Singapore, and supposedly from Canada (as P205-P). In June 2016, Pentel Canada announced pink versions of several of their pens and pencils in support of The Breast Cancer Research Foundation (http://pentel.ca/news/16). I have not been able to get one of these, but I believe it should be the same as the Singapore version. As of this post, it still shows as being available on the Pentel Canada website.
P205-WSG
The white version from Singapore and Canada. As I said, this pencil was released in a 2-pack, but I have never seen any mention of it on the Pentel Canada website.
Regarding the P205-PSG. I found one of the Canadian ones in its original, bilingual packaging at a thrift store. It says nothing about Breast Cancer, and unfortunately has had a bit of bleaching from light exposure.

Do you still have it in it’s package? Could you send me a picture of the package (front and back)? I did not know how it was sold, as I have never found one for sale, only seen it on the Pentel Canada website.
