Pen rest: Ancient Angry Bird Warrior

[Dan Carmell]

It’s generally agreed the squids and crabs are proper guardians of pens, dogs and cats not so much, especially to those of us to have lost pens to live pets. (My yellow Aurora Optima Flex in smitherins and I had to check her gums before I could pick up the pieces and mourn.) 
 

But Hongdian has upped the stakes with an angry armored avian, though it hasn’t garnered a lot of attention. It’s rather pricey at about $28 USD. 
 

Hongdian also has another wooden pen out, the A7, with an arrow clip like the A9 and roughly the same size and shape.  The ‘stabilized wood’ is dyed into a rather psychedelic pattern of darker colors, predominantly green or blue. Not my thing and apparently no one else’s because it’s been available for AliExpress for a few weeks without much attention in English language forums.

Those are cool pen holders.

Yeah, they're awfully cute!  I'm just not sure that they're $28 worth of cute....

No, not nearly. I suspect this is a product whose AliExpress price is far higher than the street price in China.

不，差得远。我怀疑这款产品的 AliExpress 价格远高于中国市场价格。 

In China, It's cost ￥46 （about $ 7）:p
