The colors were a darker shade and the material was cheaper than the pictures showed.

Finally, the the barrel of the pencil is made of such flimsy material and the cushioning grip so inadequate that I found myself wondering if these pencils were a Pentel product or a mislabeled knock off.

Terrible design and cheap materials.

Nice to find on Amazon as not always available at stores.

After having owned these pencils for several months, I noticed the erasers on some of them would occasionally twist out by themselves as I used them, necessitating the need to twist them back several times during a crossword puzzle..

Eraser untested as of now.
