fantasticfantastic: Update: the manufacturer has not responded with the lightfastness information requested. That being said, they are brilliant in a coloring book. I actually prefer these to Polychromos or Prismacolor for brilliance. The down side is that the pigment does separate and a second coat is needed. They take well with fixative without bleeding.

The Magicfly 72 color , Professional oil based color pencil set has a few pros and cons. I was initially going to compare these to Arteza, Faber Castle polychromes, and Prismacolor. Holding these against Polychromes would be an unfair match, so they went against Prismacolor Premier (ten dollars at target) and Crayola (0.98 at Walmart) and then if it far exceeded them, then I would pit it up against some of the bigger guys. Did it blow them away? Yes and no.

Attached is a photo of the layering and blending test I use. I included the master guide as well so you can compare results. Let me apologize now for the neatness of my test. I’m testing for performance. Here is what I found,

PROS:

Phoenix teacher: These are oil base pencils. I Paid $19.99 for them on Amazon, which is an incredibly awesome bargain for oil based pencils that perform this well. The only downside is that there are no names and no numbers printed on any of the pencils as of today’s date 1/2020. ( I number them myself. )If they had a name or a number on them, I would’ve given them five stars. If you are thinking about purchasing them, I would grab them quickly as I have a feeling that the price will go up for this kind of quality. So far I have been coloring with them for about five weeks and I have had about three leads break on me. And no, I am not exaggerating with this. I believe part of this is due to the quality of the pencil and part of it is due to the awesome pencil sharpener that I use. I use a Tgaal pencil sharpener, available on Amazon, and with this particular pencil sharpener set on number one, I rarely have any pencil breakage including my Prismacolor premieres. Almost every pencil is translucent or very near translucent. Transparent colored pencils are almost a must when it comes to coloring in grayscale coloring books. These pencils perform outstandingly in grayscale coloring books, I cannot...

poppy: I have many sets of colored pencils. I brought this set because the picture on the back of the tin shows the number and color name on the pencil. I like pencils with color name and or number printed on it for easy identification. However, I was very disappointed when I found out there is neither number nor color name printed on the pencils. I tried to match up and identify the color of the pencils using the picture on the back of the tin. It was impossible, they don't match and there are many with almost identical color. I feel that is misleading advertising. The quality is ok for a budget set pencil if you don't care about no number or color name on it. Too much hassle to return it.
