I never thought that a Crayola product would be so high quality!  I bought these alongside the Prima Oil Pastel, and these are very similar to the Prima set and I hardly noticed a difference at all between the two sets.  There are few different color variations between these and the Prima, and they apply very nicely together.  The consistency is soft, velvety and smooth, and I enjoy playing with these quite a bit, and you can't go wrong with this price!
