Faber-Castell Polychromos Artists Color Pencils - Tin of 120 Colors - Premium Quality Artist Pencils

This set is GORGEOUS! I am assuming that if you are looking at this set you are already sold on the virtues of the Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencil. So I wont be discussing their rich color, their creaminess, sturdiness, or that they are oh so worth the price. Instead, I will review this 150 color set. (Pictured) They come in a rectangular tin, which isnt as sturdy as Id like it to be. It would also be nice if it came with a solid way to keep the top closed. But then, you pop it open, and the beauty of the set knocks your socks off. The pinks, reds, blues, grays, greens, etc ... so vivid. No color is repeated. The shades are varied enough to tell the difference between each one. (Pictured) It was properly shipped. None of my pencils are broken, and all of the tips are perfectly sharpened. There are three trays, and each tray has an elastic on either end for easy lifting. (Pictured) The bottom of each tray has been lined with foam (pictured) making the tray more sturdy. The pencils do not easily pop out. (Attempted picture) Im so glad I own this set. It will give me hours of joy. And you too.

I have basically used Prisma Pencils for several years now and I love them. But you have to be careful about wax build up with too many layers. Polychromos you can layer and layer and they have such pretty vibrant colors and you dont need to sharpen as often. I was excited to get them. I already purchased a smaller set that came with a sharpener the year before but you know how it is....you want to have ALL the colors. Very very nice pencils and I treat them with care because to me they are precious.

Envío rápido y llegó en perfecto estado. Recomendado.

So I bought the gold fabers 12 pack before this and they are a bit better and a fraction of the price. Although w the (PC’s) you do get a thicker and creamy smoothness... I still think the goldfabers give these a run for the money. Either are great! But I’ll most likely be purchasing the 24 pack of goldfabers instead.

The pencils are exactly what I wanted. I love the Faber Castell. I already owned a smaller set in the same metal box and was so in love that I wanted a second, much larger set! I was thrilled to find this one. Then I received it. One of my biggest reasons for this exact set was for the metal box to hold the pencils in. And that came damaged. On the two left hand corners (just the top of the lid is bent in really badly and then again by the middle front part of the lid. So it does not open and close quite right which makes the case unsafe to just carry around without worry like I do my smaller set. The pencils were not damaged though, thank goodness. The box it shipped in looks fine. Nothing else in the box was damaged and nothing was big enough in the box to cause this sort of damage. For nearly 150 bucks this bummed me out!

These pencils are excellent. Colors blends very well. Fingers do not cramp holding these pencils. I cant stop coloring love this pencil set

Best colored pencils ever! Although the price of these may cause some sticker shock among some people, I can stress enough when I say to just invest in these pencils. You wont be sorry. The colors are vibrant! Unlike cheaper colored pencils, they sharpen the first time, every time; so theres no wasted pencil or having a stub by the time you are done sharpening. The pencil lead doesnt flake, is super smooth, and they are a joy to color with. I bought a set for my 12 year old daughter and turned around and got myself a set! Ive tried other brands; from the low end to the higher end and nothing compares to these pencils! Do yourself a favor and get these!

UPDATE: Faber Castell just changed the design of their pencils and now they added bar codes and “Made in Germany “ instead of just Germany so please please disregard the next couple paragraphs as I had the wrong information. Blick Art Materials replied to my email notifying me of the change and was super on top of answering me. They are not scamming anyone. Since 2019 Faber Castell made the change and it’s taking a while to run out of the old “edition”. I’m gonna try these pencils tonight and update it Old review: I’m disappointed that I went thru Faber Castell website to find their authorized resellers and it said Blick Art on Amazon are their authorized resellers. Well if they are this is a fake or they are lying cuz this set besides looking good is not the right one. The REAL Polychromos don’t have BAR CODE and it says GERMANY and it has the Mark SV! I just notice this now so I can’t return Hopefully you can see this review of mine and just buy straight from a physical store where you can see or from the official website. This seller ( Blick Art Materials) has kinda of ruined this for me

I loooove these pencils! They are so beautiful, vibrant, and have a wide variety of colors to choose from! This isn’t a big deal, but there may be some colored pencil dust on the outside and inside of your pencil tin. I was able to wipe most of it off, but some stayed, which isn’t a huge issue. Just thought I’d let you know. :) The quality of these pencils makes up for that, though!! I highly recommend them.

High quality product.
