Is this Pen Design a Ripoff? -- MOONMAN T1 Review and Drawing
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 17 มี.ค. 2020
- Ultimately, I am very pleased with this fountain pen. I am happy to see companies who are bucking the trends, making new (and in some ways better) filling solutions. The downside of having the ink in the actual pen is that it's sometimes more difficult to clean out and switch inks. But personally I don't often switch inks, except for demonstration purposes, and I really like how these large clear acrylic built-in reservoirs look and perform. All the Moonman pens I've had so far have been good to me.
To address my somewhat click-baity title, I think that "ripoff" is a bad way of putting it. I think it's good when companies see things they like and find a way of incorporating it into their own product with a little twist of their own. None of us exist in a vacuum, and when we're making pens or art or anything else, we're always influence by all the things we've ever seen. Moonman have succeeded in making a cool pen here. Even if the pen cap does remind one of Kaweco, maybe that's only a good thing, since I like those pen caps!

Honestly ...at this point it's not even about pens. I'm just here to listen to you talk.
Me too! I have an obsession with pens too yes but I can’t get enough of his voice and narrations
Same
totally!!!!!!
Like a peaceful Gene Wilder
Hey, Peter, can you use your most "daft punk pen" to rank your top 10 daft punk songs?
Zach Lathouris I stand by this
I love daft punk. My favorite album is Discovery
I just like hearing him say "moonman."
Mine was, "very... juicy"
I like how the barrel is clear and you can see the ink in his first two.
Moonman is my PS4 name 😂
Ok but have you heard the way he annunciates the letter C
Hey Peter, your teeth are really sensitive and you're actually able to tell what different things are made of by touching them with your teeth. I know that sounds crazy, but it it works, so it's not *that* crazy.
@Rational Monotheist that's pretty sweet to be honest
@Rational Monotheist Yup, every girl should know this. Well, I guess guys should too these days and all the LGBTQ whatervers. REal pearls feel Rough and fake pearls are smooth against teeth.
I feel like we are going to see this in a future video somehow
@@recoveringsoul755 so you think that a man has never bought any pearls for his beloved girl? World is really screwed.
Golfers bite golf balls to feel how soft the cover is
You've inadvertently demonstrated one of the design flaws with this pen. When you posted it and was spinning the cap around to show how the light reflected off the facets, the piston went up and down.This means if you inadvertently twist the posted cap, you might spray ink all over. Not a fatal flaw but just one that one should be aware of..
If I ever buy this pen I'd probably do that on purpose rofl
That's not a design flaw, that's a feature!
why would you spin the posted cap anyways?
@@lucasmarabolim8032
Because who'll stop me?
hey peter, just as an fyi i appretiate the back to back uploads, very epic as the kids say and the Superman bit was very cool too
Ya
Does anyone else have to watch Peter's videos at least twice? I can't help but listen to him talk about literally anything, and although I still watch the video, my focus is on the audio lol. Then I go back to properly watch him draw 😆

Moonman T1 looks like a hybrid of TWSBI Eco and Kaweco ... 😂😂😂
Ya
Also the nib design looks like a monteverde nib
TWISBI kawECO
@@dustbringer_ With the Conklin breather hole.
Yet,it's a beautiful fountain pen..I would say this pen is not copied.maybe inspired..!!
OK good video I did scroll through quite a few comments in that see any mention of this so I will speak out, Ssuperman powers are basically based on effort, the more effort he exerts the stronger the power he shakes your hand very easily, no difference he exerts his strength and he turns your hand the powder! He looks at Lois Lane and sees a pretty lady, exerts his power a little, no cloths stronger power her organs, even stronger her bones, stronger yet her molecules, exerts all his effort heat comes out of his eyes and burns her up! Proportional strength based on effort. Yeah I read too many comics. Keep doing these pen reviews/drawings it is nice to watch a review and not be put to sleep, Peter thanks again!
First, your self-control is amazing! How you resisted the urge to not sniff that Noodler's is beyond me.
B, large reservoirs are always so satisfying aesthetically.
3) Do we have a completed space station drawing to look forward to using only Moonman products, Professor Draws? 🤔
Reid Paslay First, Second, Third
A, B, C
1), 2), 3)
I really can’t stand the fact you combined them....
With that said, have an amazing day!
@@Matt-dd1zr You gotta just spice things up now and again! Have a great, distanced day!
I love how you combined the different notation lmao.
C'est vraiment une nouvelle idée.
es gab mir ein gutes Lachen.
(unfortunately, I am not trilingual, although that would be nice. Thank god for google translate.)
I would love to see you draw your own cross section, especially with all the creativity you have!
*_MOONMENS™_*
I can't imagine life without Peter.
I've bought two Moonman C1 pens since your review video. It's such a pretty pen, and I really like that I can fill them with lots of ink for my portable sketching kit.
Can you frankenpen with pilot parallel? I was looking for an opus 88 dupe
Jank Hambrams how much do they weigh? And do they feel cheap in person?
@@jackson4269 They feel pretty solid in hand given their price range. They don't weigh too much as they're made of acrylic, I believe.
@@pengdubit I have no idea. I don't have any pilot parallel pens handy.
Stephen Biesty is the artist to which Peter is referring.
no one:
not even a soul:
peter: let me just wash my hands with bleach
You gotta get rid of that 1 hanger in the background lol
I'm gonna be mad if I don't see a second in the next video lol
Julie Lastname There’s a second hanger 😂
Now that I've read this comment that's all I can look at
I like how all his unsatisfying lines makes something very pleasing to the eye
There is a fantastic retelling of the story of Rumplestiltskin, with Rumplestiltskin as the protagonist. It's called The Witch's Boy, by Michael Gruber. I don't know how into reading you are (and maybe there's an audiobook, I'm not sure), or how into the fantasy genre you are, but while you talked about how much you love cross-section diagrams, and how cool it would be to look through things that are usually opaque to human eyeballs, I recalled how the author described the magic of an object called an Earth Klaver: If swallowed, it would grant its user the power to swim through the earth like water and see its ore and riches like currents of water starkly separated by salinity. I wonder if you'd like it.
...Incidentally, I have a Moonman T1 in green, and I also like it because it combines the elegance of a demonstrator pen with the pleasant solidity of metal, and it's easy to fill and use. Stay safe and well.
I think you would really enjoy the Bodies Exhibit. I saw at the California Museum of Science a few years ago. I think, don't quote me on this, I think there's a permanent residency of it in Vegas. The one I saw was only at the museum for a few months. It was immensely interesting and informative and just cool.
About $23 on Aliexpress...$21 or so on ebay.
I have 4 different colors of the M2s because they're so inexpensive and writes well. I do prefer the C1 style. I love demonstrator pens. I have many WingSung demontrator type pens, again due to the low price and they're well writing pens.
Someday I'll dive into the high end pens. I really wanted the Xwing nib pen from your pen video with your special guest, but they were all sold out.
My superpower is being creator.
They say there are living dinosaurs in a whole world inside the planet...who knows.
i cant say i ever thought of having X-Ray vision in any capacity, however, ive always thought that something like microvision would be interesting. being able to see things as if they were always under a powerful microscope.
Damn moonman pens are beautiful. if i can i gotta get all those 3 models
Hey peter, ive been wtching your videos for some years now, and i just wanted to say that i love you and you way to make art, its really inspiring. thank you
I love how you've used perspective more in your art these past couple months. This one and the t-shirt cannon recently have been perfect examples of it working so well! Love all your stuff but this phase is really making me happy! ("Peter, the Perspective Period" should totally be an exhibit name in like the year 2050)
I really love hearing you talk about absolutely anything and everything!
Books I used to like looking at for hours were the Richard Scarry ones. So much to see 🤗👀
Thanks Coronavirus for the bleach smell
I've bought all three of the Moonman pens you showed at the intro and they are all great writers -- especially for the money. I'm still kind of a newbie but your videos have been a treasure trove of information.
I zoned out for a moment and when I came back he was talking in-depth about x-ray vision. I love this guy!
let's have x-ray vision!
Peter Draws yes!!
I’ve been waiting for this video for such a long time now
you should make prints into thin blankets bc I would love to hang your art on my wall, being an artist myself you are the only artist I find unique enough to never get tired of
I just listen to your soothing voice like a podcast in the background while I work on my computer.
I grew up looking at those cross-section drawings for hours. Awesome throwback.
The X-ray vision you're describing sounds like some kinda hybrid between the commonly accepted definition of x-ray vision and the less common remote viewing. That would be neat, but personally, I'd like to have the power of teleportation.
When it comes to superpowers, I automatically think of a Thomas Dolby interview:
I: "If you could have a superpower, what would it be?"
TD: "China."
🧸👌🏻🧚🏻♀️🧠
Pete is literal a living ASMR entity for pens.
Thanks for the review. I got one of these recently and was very impressed by it. A lot of the other pens from China come with very fine nibs and I liked the fact that this was a bit more chunky and the huge ink capacity of course. They make me happy too :)
Peter i am always so amazed by your work, i remember in a couple of videos you said that you're perspective wasn't the best but now you're drawing in perspective! I think that google sketch up program is influencing your drawing.
#peterverse
The stamping on the nib reminded me immediately of Monteverde pens.
Your style of draWing is so incredible 👾
Thanks for always reminding me of a great band!
9:27 Peter did u reference Todd Howard
Henry i think it was more It Just Works by JonTron. Its a flex seal parody
I was thinking about king crimson for jjba part 5
I wrote the same reply before I saw you already called it out lol
Omg you have a daft punk shirt on! They are my favorite ever! Love you videos!
Always amazed by his drawings and pen reviews.
love the drawing🌿🌿🌿
Peter, you should look up an artist named Jason Freeny. He does cross section sculptures of cartoon characters. Really neat!
your are amazing artist Peter!!👍
Love the hoodie
Those are hands down the best looking pens i have seen on this channel
I like to draw on cardstock whenever I get the chance because it makes those nice skritchy scratchy sounds.
Oooo and it POSTS so NICELY
I almost died when you touched those two metal surfaces. Also I almost died watching the mukbang video. At least I'll die happy
Love the video Peter!
You might also want to look into Franklin Christoph. You mentioned you havent seen many like the Moonman pens, Franklin Christoph make some very similar ones. With very gorgeous bodies, too!
TFW you don’t do calligraphy or draw very much, but Peter gives such a comprehensive review on such a quality product you feel like you need it....
"sometimes you're stuck inside for a while..."
ho boy that was an understatement
finalllyyy!!!! I ordered this pen last month and itll come anytime now
Yea, i love the moonman's also and my M2 also keep going strong! Also i use the C1 moonmans nibs on my jinhaos and it made it so much nicer.
I love those cross section books too, especially the castles
For dollar spent; Moonman is a good pen for any artist, verious nibs nibs are easy to come by as well. Platinum Carbon Ink is a favorite of mine to use.
Love that drawing! So much to see! Q
It's almost like a podcast with a bonus video overlayed.
I need to watch this video again... sorry I wasn't paying attention anymore because I took the enneagram types test out of curiosity.
peter omg i loved cross-sections as a kid too ;_; i've never heard anyone else explain a fascination with them ahah
Hi Peter, Have you looked at needle nosed squeezy bottles? I use these to fill my pens and especially little standard international cartridges in my Kaweco's etc. They're really great to keep ink in and fill pens up with. I see Moonman have brought out a spring loaded syringe too (like the Twsbi Go mechanism) which looks fun. - Thanks for all the videos, always top notch.
Thanks! Enjoyed this!
Still own the castle cross section. I loved those books
This guy's dialogue is soothing and meditative!
Only positive thing about being quarentined. Peter has to draw and upload videos to pass the time with us
you should do a cross section of the truck from the "23 Years Later -- Remaking a Childhood Drawing" video!!
Great job! Seems like a good pen
"I really just want to see cross sections of things..."
Peter, allow me to be the one to let you know of the waterjet channel.
Keep rocking dude
Hello Peter!
Wow I REALLY like that DraWing Peter. Reminds me of a Victorian house. I think I want a house with a Claw Foot bathtub, thery are so cool
Goodbyyeeee Moonman 🎶
Speaking of going fast it always bothered me about game of thrones when dani would be riding the dragon and her hair barely moved. Me after riding my bike on a windy day looks like I went skydiving 😅 idk. great drawing!
Dani may have used A LOT of hairspray during those rides......just sayin'. 😉
@@x-changex-outx-oner8224 yes. That makes perfect sense 🤔
Peter! Please do some more podcast episodes while we have all this time on our hands.
and i’m not drawing on any special paper right now, this is just like sheets of card stock i bought in like a *ONE THOUSAND* pack. so this is just pretty *standard* stuff...
The Kaweco pen with bubblegum cap is called Bad Taste. I have that pen and it's my favorite.
Since were all quarantined, how about you do a video on INK! What's your favorite brand? Color? Where to buy?....and of course, a drawing with some of your favorite inks.
Chris Ware has done various graphic novels depicting the innards of an apartment. I believe this to be what you are referring to sir
He has a "graphic novel" that is more a board game than book. You would love it simply for the fact that it is unlike anything ever created
I was just thinking about the various topics that you cover in your videos and the lengthy discussions that they might spur with various members of your community here. As such, creating your own Discord might be a rewarding venture.
Hi Peter, you should definitely make sure to frequently clean pens filled with carbon ink. Carbon ink is different from other fountain pen inks and can clog up your pens.
You probably already know this and clean your pens frequently but I wanted to make sure :)
PS. I love your videos.
i feel like this guy descended into madness and like we just watch bc hey why not
did peter just make a todd howard joke?
first thing i thought of when i saw the case was the TWSBI eco. the pens are definitely different but similarities should not be ignored.
edit: i really like the Eco Kaweco portmanteau pen. I think I'll buy one. better than the whole classical cigar copy paste. sailor, montblanc, pilot, they all look the same beyond the $200 mark.
I think you and I are about the same age. I remember those cross section books. If you own any of them hang onto them for sure. I hunted them down when my son was younger, he's 14 and still likes them, anyways they're all out of print. Had to hunt them down and buy them used.
I don't think it would get borying. You could see the Cross section of, say, diferent trees and how the inside of it is determined and also determines by/the out side.
I think that holds infinite entertaining value.
I love when you wonder. I know you like to wonder about things. Its crazy how they figure out what's im the earth. They do boring and they use sound waves and so on. You're on the right track. Its pretty cool though and I wonder too.
Anyone has the link to the m2 video?? I'm trying to find it but don't know if he made an unboxing about that pen
Peter, look in the Amazon description of the pen. It's aluminium.
Peter wants a super power that lets him see more lines. Amazing.
9:28 god Howard reference, I love it
Very nice pens.
The Moonman is the only one you can get with a Fude nib. I bought a brass version of the T1 or is it T2? I'm not worried if it's a knock off just as long as it is a good quality pen at a reasonable price and works well.
You're drawings are very unique, how do you come up with stuff like that?
Your drawings give me the vibe you could look at one of lovecraft's cosmic horrors and just, not go insane. You'd just be like "ok" and then draw the thing or something.
Goodbyeeeeeee moonmaaaannn
Peter, you might check out the Penbbs 308. You can get it as a demonstrator and, with a little silicon grease, make it into an eye dropper filler... Reminds me of the M2. Maybe you'll enjoy? I'd love to see your opinion!
Yeah I reviewed the penbbs 266, it’s pretty similar and I was pleased with it
Peter Draws oh okay, sorry I must've missed it. I'll check that one out! Hope you're doing well!
