Chameleon 52 Pen Super Set

These are magic! These markers create beautiful gradients and when not using the chamber, they're just as beautiful. The colors are ridiculously pigmented and so useable! I actually like these more than Copic markers, but unfortunately they only have these 50 colors :( but! The value is crazy too. Any other set with this number of markers would be way more and there's no other alcohol marker like these! They're comfortable to hold, they're juicy and the color IS NOT streaky at all. These are the best. You need to at least try these because I'm still blown away after a month of having them. Oh and the packaging is soooo nice and thoughtful. The packaging is a gorgeous case with a fold down stand to allow you see the markers and pull them out easily. Oh! And it comes with a colorless blender and a double sided detail pen. Absolutely the best!

I have bought this set and can't get over what excellent value it is, you get 52 pens but when you use each pen it gives you so many shades that you actually have the benefit of so many more colors, giving a vast palette from which to create art. The quality of the product is excellent and the added bonus of extra nibs and tweezers is something I have never seen with other alcohol pens I have bought,and the Cary case also doubles as a workstation ( see my photo) thanks Chameleon for giving that bit extra. I saw the other review saying overpriced and have to disagree, my other alcohol pens were so expensive and to get this range of colors would of cost hundreds of dollars more so to me this set is excellent value. I also love that all the pens are refillable so even when they run out I can refill and won't of lost my initial investment.

I ordered this set based on weeks of researching what seemed like every alcohol marker known to man. I chose Chameleon and I am completely satisfied with every aspect of this product. The markers fit my average-sized female hands and they are well-balanced and comfortable to hold and use. I had no trouble opening the toner tube or removing the covers on the marker tips. The color-coded tops make it easy to see what color and color family is in each marker. There is slight bleed-through on #80 Neenah Solar White but not anything that transferred to the underlying paper. The "Baby Blue" marker that others reported as being empty seemed fine in the set I received -- it closely matched the color top on the pen. I put the professional quality of these markers against Copics and the color chambers and nibs are also refillable/replaceable.

I only recently started coloring more stuff with markers so I bought a whole bunch of copic, prismacolor, etc. markers over the past few months, just to have and work with. I first purchased the skin tone set of Chameleons and I absolutely LOVE the brush tip and how smooth it is to color with. I just knew I had to get more colors, so I'm so happy this set exists to purchase. I love the style and look of these pens and how beautiful the colors are. The case it comes in is just icing on the cake, I almost didn't even want to use the pens because they were displayed so beautifully when I opened up the packaging and box haha. Love love love these pens! They are well worth the price, and needless to say, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

I thought I had done my research, but I had never heard of these markers so I wasn't really sure what to research. I saw that this was a complete 52 marker set. So I assumed that I could do color gradient with all the markers and I could mix and match all the colors to do the color mixing. To my disappointment, the COMPLETE SET it does not include the color tops. That was the whole reason I wanted the markers. So now I just have a really expensive set of alcohol markers that are easy to gradient. Don't get me wrong, the markers are of wonderful quality, they color very nicely, they feel great in your hand, it's just not what I was expecting. As for the gradient feature, that works great and it does make certain coloring much easier than with my other alcohol markers. I guess I just assumed for the price and for being labeled a complete set, that I would be able to do everything with the markers.

I was on the fence about whether to give these a 4 or a 5. In the end I chose four because they have on flaw and that is that you really can’t get great use out of them if you don’t have the color tops. Yeah they each come with a clear blender that allows you to go from light to dark, and that’s cool. However there is quite the learning curve because each “mix” is different depending on how long you leave it for and it’s very difficult to get a precise blend. You can eventually get the hang of though and they are very fun to color with if you are not too much of a perfectionist and enjoy a little randomness in your work. I do admit it felt somewhat gimmicky at first and I wasn’t sure they were worth all the hassle. BUT, when I discovered the color tops that go with them I was sold. The color tops allow you to lend any two colors together for a truly great blend no matter the shade. This is super duper fun to mix and match all the various colors. Go from green to purple, from blue to orange, from aqua to pink. It really is amazing and a ton of fun. The down side is that the color tops are not included and will practically double the cost of these markers. All together the markers with color tops goes for upward of $200. It would have been amazing if instead of including a clear blender with each color they would have made the blender the same exact color. Like red pen with red blending chamber and then included one or maybe even two clear ones in the kit. Then you can really call them chameleon because you could easily blend all the colors. Having to buy the color tops separately is a real pain but in my opinion you really must have them in order to really get the best use out of these pens. Over all I give them a 4 because the color tops should be included, even if they cost just a bit more. But once you have the color tops, these markers are a game changer.

Wow. Okay the only downside to these is my case came broken the stand part fell apart right out of the box. Poor packaging for such expensive markers. Markers themseleves are amazing !!! Before actually getting them I watched lots of videos on how to use them, I wanted to make sure I could. They are beautiful and so much fun to use! I feel like an artist with these in my hand. You have to hold them upright to fuse them and they lay better color if you continue too but you can hold them at an angle once you get the desired color. I havent found a book yet they dont bleed through but I'm also very picky on what I color also. They have very little to no smell. I am so glad that I got these for me the fact that you can refill them and replace the nibs was a plus for me because they don't get thrown away they can last for years and years. Im one happy colorist 😄

These markers are AMAZING! Easy to learn to use and incredibly beautiful! The packaging is perfect and just ugh I wish I had gotten these sooner! One note, though - you'll probably want all the color tops, too, to fully enjoy them. I only have 4 packs of the color tops so far but they make it 1000x better! I'm still learning how to use them so I may not be the best (and I've only had them for a couple days) but you can definitely tell I'm improving as the days go by! If you're wondering if they're worth it, I'm here to tell you they are!!! Art in the pictures on this review are by me, and are of original characters.
