I was gonna give these a 4 star review cause I did get a couple dried up markers, but after trying them I couldn’t. I’ve used copics for a couple years now, and except for the lack of colors available, these markers are as good as any copic I’ve ever used!! The inks are fantastic and blend beautifully, and the new brush tips had me checking the markers I was using a couple times to make sure they weren’t copics!!! If only they had 300 more colors to choose from...,
