First off, I would like to apologize for not posting about the P200 pencils for the past several years (last post was in December 20221).  As you can see in https://nimrodd.net/2022/05/02/new-pentel-project/, I have been working on a wider project, trying to identify all Pentel Pencils that they have produced (excepting limited editions).

But during that time, I was still collecting P200 limited edition pencils. So over the next few months, I will try to get caught up on all of the backlog.

The initial P205/P207 Pastel pencils were released in January 2022, with 4 colors in each size.  These were molded in White plastic then painted in a powder color.  These were never listed in a Pentel Brazil catalog.

These are the same colors as the European Floral/Pastel Limited Editions from 2021, with the exception of the Orange and Green.

We will get to those below.

P205-PCPB / P207-PCPB Pastel Blue / Azul Pastel

This is a light pastel blue with white text that kind of fades into the body color.

P205 Barcode: 7908429600432
P207 Barcode: 7908429600449

P205-PGPB / P207-PGPB Pastel Yellow / Amarelo Pastel

They changed the text color on these pencils to a silver to prevent the fading on these bright yellow pencils.

Second Release

In August 2023 with the release of the Pentel Brazil 2023-2024 catalog, the remaining 2 colors were released to bring the Brazil Pastel count to 6 like the European Floral/Pastel pencils mentioned at the top.

But when Pentel Brazil released this set, they only did so in P205 and the model numbers and barcodes were changed to match that of the European Floral/Pastel pencils.

I did not pick up these pencils from Bazil, since everything matched pencils I already owned.  But just to keep everything together in this post, I will list them again.

New color for Brazil

Barcode: 3474372180023

I am not sure why Pentel Brazil changed the model numbers to match the European models but it may have been dictated by Pentel HQ in Japan.  But this is pure speculation on my part.
