This 400% ghost was released on January 13, 2026 and was the first new release of 2026. This is the second installment of our "No. 2 Pencil" franchise. The first installment was pure black graphite, released in May of 2024 and exclusive to Friends & Family, it has become one of the most coveted ghosts to date. But if the first pencil told the story, the second one - this red variant - offers a chance to revise it.

ghosts tell stories

So much depends upon a red colored pencil. Sitting on a table, next to its standard black peer, it may appear to you identical - a mere difference in shade. Yet its power is unimaginably greater.

With a sharpened point, it can reduce a student to tears. With a heavy stroke, it can render a balance sheet insolvent. Tilted on a bias, it can gently shade in a sunset. It marks the transition from writing and editing; enunciation and emphasis; a dreary world of black and grey versus a world that is bursting with color.

The first installment of our “No. 2 Pencil” franchise was pure black graphite. Released in May of 2024, exclusive to Friends & Family, it has become one of the most coveted and collectible ghosts to date. But if the first pencil told the story, the second one - this red variant - offers a chance to revise it.
