I love where this pen takes me– right back to the Saturday mornings of my childhood (we’re talking late 60’s). There I am, watching Bugs Bunny and Road Runner in black and white (though I swear that my brain saw colors), eating Lucky Charms out of the box, and playing Trouble with my younger sister. Our parents were still sleeping so we worked hard to muffle the sound of the Pop-O-Matic (which seemed SO high tech back then). And sometimes we colored. Was there anything better than a brand new box of crayons? Especially the BIG box of 64 colors with the built-in sharpener. Now THAT was the holy grail of crayondom. I feel myself relaxing just writing about those times.
So it’s no surprise that I love this ACME Crayon Rollerball.
The spot-on crayon look brings back that flood of memories, but it’s also pure fun to write with and is SOLIDLY made. This thing, made of lacquered brass, has well-balanced heft. To deploy the rollerball tip, simply twist the back of the crayon.
The refill is also an ACME (#P8126 Capless System) and the ink flows quickly and easily. There may be just the tiniest bit of feathering on this Levenger Circa paper, but you really have to look for it.
So here we are, no longer in the 60’s, no longer lounging in front of the TV watching the (Acme!) anvil fall on the coyote’s head. Our days are packed full of the all of the stuff we HAVE TO DO. The ACME Studio Crayon Rollerball is a perfect way to counteract that; a way to play while we work. It’s simple, smooth, and a blast from your childhood.
Go ahead. Have fun. Really. You should.
Hmmmm…suddenly I’m craving Lucky Charms.

Been watching this pen for a long time now just because it’s so cute (loved Crayola crayons as a kid and still love the smell of them) but I guess I will throw in the towel and finally purchase one now! (Loved Bugs Bunny, Road Runner and Lucky Charms, too.)
I love it! How many colors does it come in? Pen barrels that is. Great review, thanks!
Levenger carries red, blue, yellow, and pink. Daly’s Pen Shop has orange, green (lime-ish), and pink. The orange is pretty cool looking!
