A thrilling new Collector Series springs into life with one of our most imaginative, animated designs ever. Frankenstein L.E. is the opening episode from the new Universal Monsters series of collectible writing instruments, available for shipment to dealers from mid of April, 2024.
Frankenstein L.E. reconnects with the impactful, big-screen visuals of ‘Frankenstein’, a classic horror franchise that turned the idea of the mad scientist into cultural obsession. Our homage channels the magic of the original 1931 movie with materials, workmanship and staging that emulate its iconic set and costume design. Frankenstein L.E. oozes comic book gothic, with spectacular special effects to engage the senses.
Due to this edition’s exceptional theming and attributes, we would like to try to make a more coordinated media push. We therefore request that Frankenstein L.E. not be publicly promoted nor sold before the embargo date of 17 April, 2024.
Made in editions of 230 fountain pens and rollerballs, Frankenstein L.E. is crafted entirely from brass, and uses texturing and dark ruthenium electroplating to simulate beaten iron. Weighing in at more than 250g, our XXL design measures a hefty 30 x 187 mm. Rivet and suture details mimic Dr. Frankenstein’s lo-fi workmanship, and are realised in the mould, then masked during plating to retain their brassy sheen.
The grip section is made from brass and black resin, lightning-charged with laser engraving. Trim components are all brass, styled and aged like vintage lab equipment. The pocket-clip is a spring-loaded insulator rod terminated with a brass ball – a nod to our ruzzolino clamp and depicted as if it has smashed into the cap surface.
Further appendages operate complications engineered especially for this edition. A pair of neck electrodes activates the cap release, while a gyro gizmo encased in the blind cap provides a fascinating fidget mechanism. On the cap top, a miniature haptic handwheel operates a viewing window to reveal the head of Frankenstein’s monster.
