These things are advertised on tv and show lots of wonderful drawings that can be made with them. They have 3 straight, flat nibs per pen.
They are pretty pricey for what are basically felt tips but I got some in Woolies when they started discounting.
Tried them out today and the nibs mustn't all be set at exactly the same height as it's practically impossible to keep all nibs on the paper at the same time. Out of a set of 6, only 2 are working as they should.
Yet another kids thing that's made to look fantastic on the tv but in reality is pants. Obviously can't take them back to Woolies now either.
Only upside from this is that daughter is finally becoming as much of a cynical consumer as I am now and no longer expects things to be, as is shown. :rolleyes:
If anyone is considering buying these....dont bother, they're pants.
