For those who are considering purchasing the wax-based Prismacolor Premier colored pencils, which cost less than the Polychromos, I'll provide a little comparison here, since I own both. There have been many complaints about product control with the Mexico-manufactured Prismacolors. Lead breakage is a problem, especially if you drop a pencil. This is because the lead is not glued to the wood. The barrels may be chipped or warped. The lead cores are sometimes off-center too. But in the German-manufactured Polychromos, quality control is excellent, the lead is attached firmly to the wood, and I have experienced no lead breakage or other anomalies. The Prismacolor pencils have softer leads than the Polychromos and wear down far faster. That being said, I enjoy using both brands of pencil. They both have bright colors, and they even blend together well.
If I have to give any negative comment, it's that the Polychromos pencils (and the Prismacolors as well) have round barrels, so they roll around on a table easily. A hexagonal shape would have been better not only to control the roll but also to hold them more firmly. But that's such a minor complaint that it doesn't detract from my five-star rating.
(I think comparing them to PrismaColors is useful because most people looking to buy colored pencils are having trouble choosing between these two in particular)
Pros:
-Great selection of grays
-Perfect variety in a 60 set--do not need the 120
-Tips NEVER break. In all my time using these, not one tip has broken, and I can always sharpen it to a perfect point
-Best price you will find for artist quality oil-based colored pencils
Cons (very minor):
-Not as "full" as some wax-based colored pencils. The colors don't stick to the page the same way, but it's something to get used to
-The initial arrangement of the colors in the box is not ideal, so I made my own color chart and rearranged.
-As with many colored pencils, some of the lead colors do not match the paint on the wood
-The white is somewhat of a disappointment. Not nearly as bold as the PrismaColor white
I would definitely recommend them, but I am yet to decide if I'm completely in favor of these over the PrismaColors. They are a little bit different to work with, so it may just be that I need to develop my technique more, but I do think that the PrismaColors were easier to work with FOR ME. That being said, I understand that PrismaColor is having some quality control issues (the wooden casings snap very easily when being sharpened, the lead is not centered in the casing, and the leads are more prone to breaking due to the lacking quality). If you have not already found a brand that you are comfortable with, definitely buy these. If you are still comfortable with your PrismaColors, it could be tough letting go despite the imperfections that are completely non-existent in Faber-Castell colored pencils..

Die Mine hat für mich auch eine optimale Weichheit. Ich habe mich für die Version mit 60 Stiften entschieden, da ich gerne eine Auswahl an Farben habe und so auch ein paar Abstufungen vornehmen kann. Ich bin rundum zufrieden und würde sie wieder so kaufen.
Hasta los trabajos más sencillos, ganan en calidad y expresión.
