Rocket Pens look real, assist you in your flights of fancy

office_rocket_pens.jpg

If you spent most of your time in school pretending your various pens and pencils were actually spacecraft on their way to Jupiter, have we got a trio of writing utensils for you! These ballpoint pens are available in white, gray or black, and they look a lot more real than those cheap pens you had back in the day. They're not made out of some crummy plastic, either — nay, these are built of that material of which are rockets are made, more or less: real metal.

Just over 7 inches long, they can be easily parked in their metal bases, but don't worry about scratches, because there's a smooth resin coating on the areas where fins and rocket meet. Although they don't look cheap, they're reasonably priced at around $8 each. You may end up paying more than that just for shipping, though, because you'll need to order these from the company's website in Japan.
