Reviewer's Comments:
Summary: I love these!

I love my FC Polychromos. They are so wonderful to work with and strong in color. I don't have to worry about waxblooms or wonder how lightfast the color is (as I have to if I use Prismacolor).

They are not as soft as Prismacolor but almost. I never ever have any breakage with this pencils. I know they are a bit more pricey in USA than Prismacolor, but I live in Sweden and here they are a bit cheaper and Prismacolor is no where to be found. I think that they are worth the higher cost even in USA because these pencils really are built to last. Can't go wrong with them.
