What is known about the design of the Montblanc Writers Edition 2011 'Carlo Collodi' (Pinocchio), and which further editions are announcing themselves?

Montblanc Limited Editions FAQ entry

The Collodi edition takes up the Pinocchio motif via an extendable clip symbolising the 'long nose'. Collectors rate the design predominantly as unbalanced: the cap looks inconsistent; the 'nose' idea seems forced and unsuccessful; and the overall impression appeals rather to a female target group. Alongside, a fully white Meisterstück fountain pen/rollerball, a Donation Pen Edition Gustav Eiffel and a Hitchcock Limited Edition are announced. The growing number of parallel Limited Editions (Writers, Patron of Arts, Donation, Special) is increasingly questioned critically.
