Way OT what is this item called??

[searchdog]

Does anyone remember those pens that would have 4 or more colors of ink in them and you could switch between colors? I know that as a kid I saw those pens with up to probably 25 colors on them and they were really fat. Anyway my nephew had one and it got ruined in the wash so I was going to try to find him one for christmas but I have no idea what to even call it in order to search for it. Thanks for any help.

Yes that is it. Now I just need to see if I can find one with more colors. I will for sure get this one if I can't find one with more colors. I am just glad they still make them. :) Thanks so much.

Here's a link to one with more than four colors. I have not used this company before, but it looks like they might have what you are looking for.

I found another one with 10 colors here:

When I was young I used to buy them from Sanrio. They had boy styles too.

I don't know where to get them but I wanted to say that the image popped into my head as soon as I saw your post. Those pens were so cool and my mom would never get one for me, so I always borrowed a friends. It's nice that you're trying to replace it for your nephew.
