I have them since last saturday and have colored ab it with them and I LOVE them!! I've put them in a pencilcase and sorted them out on color, because they aren't in order in the box. But they are marvelous, slide over the paper very smoothly, similar to Prismacolor, but less grainy. I am really amazed by these for the price. Even though I had to pay some import fees, the extra money is well worth the quality. The other thing I'm really pleased with is more light colored purple shades, you don't see that much in other brands.Now if they only would sell them seperate.........
If only they had open stock :( For people though in the US they could buy the smaller pack options if the pencil they wanted was in there but for us overseas, it would probably work out cheaper to buy a whole box again. They really are very impressive for the price! Glad you are enjoying yours! Happy coloring x
Amazon Au now carries these pencils but the cheap cardboard one with a name I couldn’t see shows up. What I got was the plastic Guanghui box. To find them for Australians search 160 pencils and they’ll come up, no postage.
I agree with you 100% regarding the Marco Renoir.The MR pencils are a waste of money,they break so much when Sharpening . The quality control is a disgrace, to be frank.Any set of colour pencil set is preferable to the Marco Renoir.Kind regards from the UK.
I don't have the Marco Renoir pencils but the Marco Raffines which are more a student grade. They are not my favorites and I much prefer my Colleen pencils in that price range. Happy coloring x
I have these pencils. I find that they do okay, but I also hold both types of pencils in the same manner. In the video, you're holding the Polychromos pencils close to the tip. You hold the Guang Hui pencils halfway down the barrel. I would suggest holding them the same way to get a true comparison. Some things to remember : the Polychromos set is only 120 BUT open stock allows one to replace a pencil when necessary. I find that I don't have to sharpen these too often either. Guang Hui comes with metallic pencils BUT they do not sell open stock. This is a difficult problem. These also tend to have to be sharpened a lot. The pencils are scratchy, but if you can live with this-they can be a cheaper alternative. The fact that the Polychromos are quite a bit more expensive is a consideration. However, being able to use a good quality oil pencil that can be individually replaced by open stock sales at Dick Blick s for a reasonable price weighs in more favorably than the cheaper 160 pencil set. I'll continue using both, along with my Prismacolor pencils to create beautiful pages in my adultcoloring books.
Only 120? I think that 120 is plenty and once you go beyond that, you often end up with extremely similar shades. Completely agree on buying singles though. I started with the 12 set of Polys (because they ARE pricey) and am now adding singles. Haven't had to replace one so far. As you said, Polys don't need to be sharpened that often and when you do sharpen them, they sharpen well, unlike other pencils that constantly break. I hate sharpening (I use a hand sharpener because every electric or hand sharpener takes up a ton of room and/or makes ugly marks on your pencils) so that's really what makes me not want to get these.
Great review! I feel guilty that I asked my husband for the Polychromos for my birthday, now I think I want these. I’m so confused. I would love to know how the watercolor pencils activated. I have a 36 set of Koh-hi-noor Mondeluz, that I love, but who wouldn’t want all those colors?
I have to upload that video but tbh they are just as good value as these ones. For the price, if you live in the US both products are very good value. If you are international like me then the shipping and exchange rate takes its toll but still I couldn't buy that quality or amount here for that price. I wouldn't feel bad about the polys ..these are supplemental colors :) Happy coloring x
Great review. I've done a comparison video of the hero to the Prismacolor premier on my channel. Will it be ok for me to link this video on my video and mention this review?
@@hubertfudot9835 thats what i would like to know. I see many people saying tgey are $20.00 in the USA but when i look at the shipping fees it shows $40.00 for shipping give or take. Im not rich but i want these to help me learn shading and color play...someone help with the cheapest place for oencils and shipping cost in the USA!
Dollar diva where do you buy yours with the cheapest shipping fee im seriously working on a budget but i wake up n go to sleep thinking of these pencils!
Thank you for sharing your opinion of these pencils! They are great value for budget pencils. There are so many brand names for these pencils though it's hard to keep up! Stay safe. Happy coloring x
Hey, how do you all think, wich ones are better ( softer, are more pigmented, sharpens better etc) - marco raffine or these guang hui? Wich ones do you advise to buy? My wish about pencils is that they have to be soft, layer well, blend. But I am not profesional (still I can't handle bad pencils 😂).
I'm sorry I don't have the brutfuner brand so cannot compare the two. I *believe* though that these pencils are white labelled ...ie people buy the pencils and then label them with their own brand. I could be wrong. Sorry I can't help further.
Where did you purchase your Brunzeal sharpener from please?Great review as usual! I purchased the 120 set of these pencils ages ago and personally, I can't stop using them! They blend and layer up so well.
Thanks for doing this comparison review. I have been debating buying these but now I’m going to get them. I also want those Tombows. Have watched your video multiple times. Do you still recommend them? They are so unique 🌺
ooh yes I love my Tombow Irojitens - they have such pretty colors and I love how they work tonally. With these ones, I see myself using them as my everyday type pencils (I usually use my Colleens) and to supplement my polys (they have more colors). Happy coloring x
Thanks for a great review. I bought these months ago and use them with both my Prismas and Polys. The purples were the first I used on a bunch of irises. Please activate the Hero watercolor pencils. They're on my Amazon wish list and I'm on the fence - to buy or not to buy?😁
Thanks for this great review. I just want to ask you if you have already used them in one of your coloring books, and how was their performance? ok one last question, are there harder than the FC ones? thank you again
If y ou are enrolled in art school generally your teachers will have products they recommend. If not, you might like to visit your local art shop and test some open stock to see what you are comfortable coloring with and what suits your budget and the skills you would like to develop. Happy coloring x
If you are not going to art school you might like to watch some colorists you admire on you tube that you want to follow their style eg, manga artists tend to use a lot of alcohol based markers, whereas colorists on coloring pages like Chris Cheng use pencils, often prismacolor. Happy coloring x
ha ha what is need? They are a good value buy for US residents but for Australians we do have to pay more with the exchange rate and shipping etc. They really are very nice. I'll be coloring with them again and see how they go on other types of paper. Happy coloring x
When I purchased these they were described as oil based in the product description. If I had known they were water activated I wouldn't have bought the watercolor set as well. Happy coloring x
Can you please tell me what that sound is at 9:20-9:21. I'm sorry Claire, I wouldn't have said anything at all but it literally came from out of the blue. From nowhere! Anyway, thank you very much for another great review/comparison video! I've actually been wondering about this set since the lightning deal on them.
I have no idea what the sound is as this video was recorded over 3 weeks ago. More than likely one of my dogs. By the way my name is Lea not Claire. Happy coloring x
Coloring Queen lea, do you still like these pencils as much? I’m thinking of buying some to take to my patients, and can’t decide which might be best-these, crayolas, or something else. I’ve bought two sets of prismas to give to my patients whom I click with. (I can’t say “favorites”. Lol) And I want to get a few more sets as treats for patients going through a rough time, and at least a couple of sets for the floor-for all patients to use, but I can’t afford prismacolor sets for everyone. I appreciate any help and opinions you can offer.🙂
These pencils aren't oilbased, they are water soluble! You should try it and you'll see! At least mine are and I'm NOT talking about the watercolor pencils from Guang Hui in the 150set, I'm talking about the 160 set of the colored pencils that are described as oilbased and waterresistant! They lay down the colour really nice and for the price absolute great (30€ for the set of 160 here in germany)! But they aren't what they claim to be and therefore useless for me
Thank you for your answer! It seems a bit strange, in the meantime, I have noticed that some people have water soluble ones and some not. But it is nearly 50:50, I don't know if there are different manufacturer for this pencils or if there are many fakes on the market and wich one the originals are. Also there is a set of watercolor pencils, that's very irritating too in this case
Jeanne d'Arc Mine are water soluble also. These are truly lousy pencils. They break over and over when sharpening. I just sent mine back to Amazon and I have never sent anything back until these. They look pretty but they're really awful.
Thank You Lee, i try your Fantastic tip and i type 160 colored pencils and Tadam i FINALLY get the good one, like you've say they are in some name but the Brands is the good one at Amazon.ca YEAH! The new Sharpener you have it is the M&R Brand ??? Big Thank's for the great review my Friend xx
ha ha finally Canada gets something! The new sharpener is a Bruynzeel Design Sharpener and it is very good. It comes with two replacement blades as well. Happy coloring x
The best pencils i have is the 24 set prisma premier and then i got the hero set im soooo in love i love them both but i couldnt believe how good the heros felt and how much color they put out #teamhero
This set reminds me of a set that I bought called "Feela", 152 piece set, oil based and a beautiful pencil to use. I have been wanting to get a couple more of the "budget friendly" 120 piece sets or higher. I think that many of these sets are coming out of the same factories in China. This doesn't bother me in the least. I love the Feela set. They aren't super soft like Prisma's, but they are perhaps closer to Polychromos. I think that Prisma's are too soft and smeary. I LOVE the way that oil based pencils lay down. You have gotten me even more excited about adding the Guanghui pencil sets to my colored pencil stash. Thank you. This review answered many questions that I had. Thank, Mindy
Thanks Mindy! I suspect that Feela is another PLR name for these pencils but when I checked online I couldn't be 100% certain so I didn't state that in my review. The pencils I use most often are not my fancy ones but the budget ones like Colleens and I'll be using these a lot as well even though I have all the fancy ones. It's wonderful that there are so many choices for colorists for all different budget levels. Happy coloring x
Coloring Queen I think that I agree wholeheartedly that these types of pencils are really good quality. Especially when you consider that nearly anyone can afford. I have a Dollar Tree set that is the hardest lead I've ever worked with. My point is that this giant set is actually cheaper than that one, and the pencils are FAR better. Thank you for replying. I really appreciate that you took the time to do that. Yeah. I'll be adding that set as well as an additional set of the Feela pencils. I LOVE the colors. Who knows, I may LOVE all of the sets of this type. (:-D) Thanx, Mindy
I just bought these, should be shipped to me by mid September. Can anyone tell me how many skin colors you get in the set? that's always an issue for me Q-Q

The prisma sharpener .... can be difficult to work with. If it is the hourglass one make sure to read the instructions! (for memory you turn the sharpener not the pencil) Happy coloring x
While Polychromos remain as one of the empyreal brands for colored pencils; anything that comes anywhere close to the output of Polychromos but for a much less price is indeed a blessing. This has therefore encouraged me to get these Hero colored pencils. :)
Make sure you get the Hero brand as there have been a few issues with other rebranded packs - one of which they are dissolvable in water so not oil based.
Very nice review! (you can totally tell what's coming) I like how many colors it has ( trying to show I'm being fair about it ) and the packaging is really lovely ( but we both know I'm not ). And the side by side comparison with the Polys was really Great ( buttering you up before I say it) and the Hero's did remarkably well ( here it comes ) but I think I'll stick with my Polys. I like open stock and I love how the Polys have names on them and how substantial they feel in my hand but most of all I'm a Pencil Elitist. 😐 I can't deny it anymore. I should like these pencils. But because of those reasons I just listed not how they color .... it's a Nope! I'm more lenient with wax pencils because their not going up against my Polys. But the review was great! And I'm glad there is a really great set of oil based pencils out there for those that Polys are a No-Go because tradestock paper colors best with oil based pencils I think. Thanks for the Great Review!
ha ha if you have polys you really don't need these as they are so similar..unless you wanted more colors. They are great for colorists though that don't have the polys and want to save their pennies as they are excellent pencils. I wish we got the lovely packaging in Australia. The box that people in the US get is gorgeous! Happy coloring x
Tmarie2u and I will be back now so much for all the week after Thanksgiving so much to be thankful and I have to be there by the week after Thanksgiving I will talk to her to try me again what I don't want the record straight and I'm going and if your information please feel the way you want to come in the afternoon or tomorrow and I'm sure your area and for the hills and can I get the information please feel to it and the day and then 😮
I am very satisfied with them.I have 160 pcs.Some of them are a bit breakable,so I like them,... For nice colours,easy to draw,and the pack is fine... thank you
Thank you for a wonderful review. I live in Georgia, in the states, and your accent is mesmerizing. I have Aussie friends here who always say they love to hear me speak, but I believe the Australian accent is the loveliest on the planet. It's so soft and refined. Have you used a sharpener that compares with the Bruynzeel? I can't find it anywhere here in the states and none of my local supply shops will order it for me. It's my DREAM to live in Australia one day. Thanks again.
Hi Chelle thank you x It's funny I think you either love or hate the Aussie accent. Another sharpener I like that is the same sort of price is the M&R (you can get it from Amazon). There are a lot of other good sharpeners like the Carl but they are super expensive! Happy coloring x
The pens make a good impression. Too bad that I do not get them here in Germany, at least I can not find them. Nevertheless, thanks for the presentation of these pens. :)
Well luckily in Germany you have Faber Castell and I presume they are a bit cheaper there than here. I couldn't get these in Australia either and had to buy them from Wish but you can also get them from Ebay. Happy coloring x
Du kriegst sie auf Amazon.Sie heißen nur anders. Auf den Stiften steht ebenfalls Guang Hui ;) Hier der Link: www.amazon.de/160-Ultimate-Buntstifte-Erwachsenen-Farbgebung-Wohlt%C3%A4tigkeitszwecke/dp/B074DG7S4G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510216711&sr=8-1&keywords=160+Colored+Pencils
Of course you can buy them here in germany. Na klar bekommst du die auch hier in Deutschland. Auf Amazon gibt es mindestens 3 verschiedene Anbieter dafür, vermutlich deutlich mehr. Ich habe für das 160er Set knapp 30€ bezahlt wenn ich mich recht erinnere. *Edit Ja, 30€. Hier der Link www.amazon.de/gp/product/B074Z428BD/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Just wait until you have to sharpen a pencil. You'll be tearing your hair out. The leads were broken the ENTIRE length of the pencil. Save your money and buy some decent pencils. I sent mine back to Amazon. Edited to add... They say they're oil based and that's why I wanted them. They are NOT oil. They smear with water.
They do so they are oil based and I was really surprised when mine dissolved with water. I wrote to them and asked for an explanation and was told that I hadn't purchased the genuine "Hero" brand ...not sure :) . I haven't had any trouble with sharpening mine though. Hope . you have found something that like to use. Happy coloring x
I asked my husband who speaks Chinese. He said “gwong hwee”. I hope that makes sense. I just bought these. Thanks so much for the review!

Yeah. I'll be adding that set as well as an additional set of the Feela pencils. I LOVE the colors. Who knows, I may LOVE all of the sets of this type.
(:-D)
Thanx,
Mindy

The prisma sharpener .... can be difficult to work with. If it is the hourglass one make sure to read the instructions! (for memory you turn the sharpener not the pencil) Happy coloring x
While Polychromos remain as one of the empyreal brands for colored pencils; anything that comes anywhere close to the output of Polychromos but for a much less price is indeed a blessing. This has therefore encouraged me to get these Hero colored pencils. :)
Make sure you get the Hero brand as there have been a few issues with other rebranded packs - one of which they are dissolvable in water so not oil based.
Very nice review! (you can totally tell what's coming) I like how many colors it has ( trying to show I'm being fair about it ) and the packaging is really lovely ( but we both know I'm not ). And the side by side comparison with the Polys was really Great ( buttering you up before I say it) and the Hero's did remarkably well ( here it comes ) but I think I'll stick with my Polys. I like open stock and I love how the Polys have names on them and how substantial they feel in my hand but most of all I'm a Pencil Elitist. 😐 I can't deny it anymore. I should like these pencils. But because of those reasons I just listed not how they color .... it's a Nope! I'm more lenient with wax pencils because their not going up against my Polys. But the review was great! And I'm glad there is a really great set of oil based pencils out there for those that Polys are a No-Go because tradestock paper colors best with oil based pencils I think. Thanks for the Great Review!
ha ha if you have polys you really don't need these as they are so similar..unless you wanted more colors. They are great for colorists though that don't have the polys and want to save their pennies as they are excellent pencils. I wish we got the lovely packaging in Australia. The box that people in the US get is gorgeous! Happy coloring x

I just bought the Christmas edition of these pencils from Amazon...168 pencils. I can't wait for them to arrive!
The Christmas box looks so pretty! Hope you love coloring with them! Happy coloring x

Yes it is the same
I am very satisfied with them.I have 160 pcs.Some of them are a bit breakable,so I like them,... For nice colours,easy to draw,and the pack is fine...
thank you
They are pretty good value for budget pencils I agree. I haven't had any breakages with mine as yet. I hope you enjoy coloring with them!
@@coloringqueen 👍
Thanks for the great review, was searching for some alternatives to the expensive ones and found these. Just wasn't sure if they are any good.
Glad I could help! Stay safe. Happy coloring x
Got mine from Wish and think they are great for the price!
They are great value for budget pencils! I use mine quite a bit! Happy coloring x
What a bargain!
Thank you for a wonderful review. I live in Georgia, in the states, and your accent is mesmerizing. I have Aussie friends here who always say they love to hear me speak, but I believe the Australian accent is the loveliest on the planet. It's so soft and refined. Have you used a sharpener that compares with the Bruynzeel? I can't find it anywhere here in the states and none of my local supply shops will order it for me. It's my DREAM to live in Australia one day. Thanks again.
Hi Chelle thank you x It's funny I think you either love or hate the Aussie accent. Another sharpener I like that is the same sort of price is the M&R (you can get it from Amazon). There are a lot of other good sharpeners like the Carl but they are super expensive! Happy coloring x
The pens make a good impression. Too bad that I do not get them here in Germany, at least I can not find them. Nevertheless, thanks for the presentation of these pens. :)
Well luckily in Germany you have Faber Castell and I presume they are a bit cheaper there than here. I couldn't get these in Australia either and had to buy them from Wish but you can also get them from Ebay. Happy coloring x
Du kriegst sie auf Amazon.Sie heißen nur anders. Auf den Stiften steht ebenfalls Guang Hui ;) Hier der Link: www.amazon.de/160-Ultimate-Buntstifte-Erwachsenen-Farbgebung-Wohlt%C3%A4tigkeitszwecke/dp/B074DG7S4G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1510216711&sr=8-1&keywords=160+Colored+Pencils
Ich habe diese Stifte bei Amazon.de bekommen ! Schau mal hier : smile.amazon.de/gp/product/B071454W56/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Of course you can buy them here in germany.
Na klar bekommst du die auch hier in Deutschland. Auf Amazon gibt es mindestens 3 verschiedene Anbieter dafür, vermutlich deutlich mehr. Ich habe für das 160er Set knapp 30€ bezahlt wenn ich mich recht erinnere.
*Edit
Ja, 30€. Hier der Link

Just wait until you have to sharpen a pencil. You'll be tearing your hair out. The leads were broken the ENTIRE length of the pencil. Save your money and buy some decent pencils. I sent mine back to Amazon.
Edited to add... They say they're oil based and that's why I wanted them. They are NOT oil. They smear with water.
They do so they are oil based and I was really surprised when mine dissolved with water. I wrote to them and asked for an explanation and was told that I hadn't purchased the genuine "Hero" brand ...not sure :) . I haven't had any trouble with sharpening mine though. Hope . you have found something that like to use. Happy coloring x
