Zebra will release a limited Snoopy edition of the Sarasa Clip 2+S in Japan on October 13. The pencil-equipped multipen is priced at ¥660 including Japanese tax.
It is part of a wider Snoopy-themed Sarasa release announced September 29. For pencil users, the important bit is the “+S”: Zebra lists a 0.5 mm mechanical-pencil component alongside the ballpoints, whose listed tip-size options are 0.4 mm and 0.5 mm.
Look for the 2+S
The release artwork puts several similar-looking Sarasa families together. A Snoopy barrel alone does not identify a pencil: the Sarasa Clip 3C is a different, pen-only model. The 2+S is the relevant option if you want ink and graphite in the same instrument.
This is a character edition, with no new pencil mechanism announced. Its appeal is straightforward: a small design change on an everyday tool, at a Japanese price that keeps it within ordinary stationery territory.
Zebra describes the release as limited in quantity but does not give a production total in its announcement. A U.S. release, U.S. retail price and international ordering arrangements have not been confirmed. October 13 is the announced Japanese release date, not a promise that every overseas retailer will have stock that day.
