 Okay, hey guys This is the second time of me filming this because evidently I accidentally deleted the video the first time oops as You can see here by the sheets. We're gonna do a pen comparison now when I was in California last my daughter and I managed to Talk her father into taking us to Daiso granted. We only had like 30 minutes before we had to be back to the airport but We did it And she's the one who spotted these markers these Look remarkably like a favorite marker of hers and mine, which is by Stabilo. It's the Stabilo 68 now They make this 68 which is a bullet tip food Marker more of a bullet tip. They also have a Stabilo 88 which is a fine tip Which I also like I find myself grabbing the 68 more than the 88 So these are remarkably like Let's grab the brown and the brown the 68 Almost a nearly identical body length of the pen The barrel of the pen looks rebark remarkably identical and as does the tip it's slightly shorter And the caps are different. Oops So the Stabilo cap is a straight cap and the Daiso one flares out the other glaring difference These 12 markers were a dollar fifty These over here if I'm not mistaken or a set of 30 Yeah, this is 29, but I think I have two blacks Or some I'm missing another color that I didn't grab anyway. I'm pretty sure they were a set of 30 For 25 dollars and change on Amazon So the biggest price is the difference biggest difference is the price but also There's some differences in the colors and I'm going to show you what I mean right now So this is the red barreled pen from Daiso This is the red barreled pen from Stabilo you look the same They're not this one is not red It's not red It's pink. So a couple of the colors you will find and this one's red red This is what you would expect from the other pen So a couple of the colors are definitely like that. There was also I think a green that was more I think might have been this one that was more like a highlighter. Yeah Then a green green So that was this one and if you grab the comparable pen over here from Stabilo Because you expect the color body of the pen to be an indication of the color of the ink, but it isn't necessarily So those that's a lot of big difference now for a dollar fifty does that bother me? Not necessarily too much so we have purple and purple so they're just I Maybe it's because in part because I'm used to the Stabilo markers, but the Daiso ones when you go to use them are Not quite what you expect when you take the Cap off and you start using it this one for instance Really is actually in my flesh tone drawer of my I have my drawer pens and pencils sort of by color Because I'll show you in a minute. This is the flesh tones to be low They're nearly identical all the body of the pen is a very different color These two I put together and I don't do flesh tones a lot anyway, but that's where those two go So other than a little bit of differences in colors Which again you can see here on the chart where I swatch all the colors most of them are pretty close Most of them are not too different There's a couple of them that are glaringly different. Are they enough to not buy them? No, these are only a dollar fifty That's so cheap And I know you're all gonna say well, I don't have Daiso near me I so does have an online store now You may have to buy a whole bunch of them to get it at the online store Or you may be traveling somewhere and be able to get him at a Daiso if it's one There's one near you, but what even if you can't go to Daiso, that's not the point the point is I want you to all look around you go to Dollar Tree go to Dollar General even Walmart and just because you can't afford These fancy set of Stabilo's doesn't mean you can't make nice art it these aren't what's important It's having fun and playing and creating art and you can do that with a lesser expensive Kind of marker you don't have to have the name brand So I want you all to look around these are really good markers. I am pretty pleased with them They're a little the Stabilo are a little bit more juicy, but not too much They're both water soluble you see up here They both in fact, I think the Daiso actually were Spreading a little bit better than the Stabilo markers But I would have an equal amount of fun playing with either one and have had since I bought them So if you have a Daiso near you go there and check them out if you don't have one But maybe you're traveling somewhere that does make a few minutes go there to 30 minute Even if you only have 30 minutes, you don't know what you're gonna find Check out the online store I will link it below and if they have these markers in the online store I will leave a link for you. I will of course also leave the link for the Stabilo markers And if they have sometimes Daiso products are on Amazon So if they have these on Amazon, I'll to all link leave that link to check it out See what you think and even if you don't have that store. Maybe you have another store and you found a really good Budget-friendly art tool that compares really well to something that's the more quote-unquote popular brand I want to hear about it. Leave something in the comments below or if you're a member of one of my Facebook groups Go post something there about it because we would all love to save a buck, especially with art supplies and You know a lot of us don't have the budget to go out and spend a ton of money on art supplies Nor should we be doing that.
