MRI is a really unusual puzzle from Pelikan. The reason is because Pelikan tends to produce puzzles with simpler shapes such as burrs, packers, and kumikis. But MRI is a strong departure from the norm with it's more complex shape.People have been talking about it as "the Pelikan Karakuri" which is fitting since Karakuri tends to produce puzzles that look like artwork.
