A Deep Dive into the Temu Prismacolor Pencils || Are they Fake or Real? || The Follow-Up Video

After making the video about the Prismacolor Pencils I bought from Amazon, I was left with many questions, are they fake or are they real? So I decided to do a deep dive into them; I contacted Prismacolor themselves... and also a contact from a pencil company in China. This video almost became a documentary into Fake Prismacolor Pencils, so its definitely worth watching until the end! The full, unedited, normal speed, swatch of both sets of pencils is available here:-    • Full, Unedited, Real-Time Swatch of both t...   Note: This video has been uploaded in HD (1080p) which means the swatches are really clear and easy to see. If it looks blurry or low resolution to you, then check what resolution / quality is selected for your device under your youtube settings. P.S. I know its Temu, but sometimes, I've no idea why, I say Temo... like Nemo... the fish 🤣 00:00:00 The story so far... 00:03:03 How do I know mine are real? 00:04:51 Opening the real Prismacolors 00:06:06 Comparing the boxes 00:10:42 Comparing the pencils 00:13:32 Swatching the Real Prismacolors (time-lapse) 00:18:51 Swatching the Fake Prismacolors (time-lapse) 00:20:15 Close-up Colour Comparison of Swatch 00:27:29 Comparing Colouring with Arrtx Pencils 00:35:46 Comparing the White Pencils 00:39:42 How do they Sharpen? 00:41:57 Pressure Test 00:44:55 Sarah Renae Clark's video on fakes 00:49:47 Discussing the White Undercoat 00:50:44 Gem from The Colour Cave's video on fakes 00:52:28 Contacting Prismacolor for Answers 00:56:52 What wood are these made from? 00:59:51 Speaking to a Chinese pencil factory 01:02:33 So, Who made these? 01:03:17 Back to the White Undercoat 01:04:28 The reply from Prismacolor 01:06:28 Are these seconds? 01:08:00 The Conclusion --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Amazon Links to items shown:- Prismacolor 150 Pencils - https://amzn.to/47OL12V Arrtx 126 Set - https://amzn.to/3Ommj29 Dahle Pencil Sharpener - https://amzn.to/3ES1s1p The product links above are affiliate links.
