Icon10 Merry Christmas! another new MB LePetit Prince pen

Happy Christmas all!

I like the LPP Doué so much, I decided to get the Solitaire LeGrand as well. I'll probably get the nib swap from M to OM. Not sure if i should get the HappyHolidays set now?


"I'm seeing double" says the little Prince




The blue lacquer is stunning





In comparison to the other LPP pen

Wow gorgeous set! Le Petit Prince is my Favorite!
Where did you get the “figurine” if you don’t mind me asking?

Thanks! It's made by Medicom toys, I got it off amazon but it was shipped from Japan. Also it's fairly small

Pretty awesome. When a MB strikes my fancy I have a hard time walking away. The Tolstoy FP was my last but was strong to walk away from a couple others.

Could you give a quick review feedback on the two? Which one do you prefer?

I’m undecided between the two!
Thanks!!

Difficult one tbh. If I were to pick only one, it'll be the Solitaire Le grand but if I were to travel, it'll be the Doue. The Le Grand feels better on the hand, there's a bit more to hold on to but it's also a lot heavier. Both are very nice looking pens, hence I bought both as I'm undecided lol.

I haven't written with them yet as I'll be sending it back to get the nibs changed to Oblique. Personally I prefer the bigger nib as I could see the details without squinting.
