108 Tombow ABT Dual Brush Water Based Markers

Earlier this year I attended Creativation. It is a conference where all the art supply companies come together and meet with buyers for the coming year. As an influencer I was able to go and meet with the companies. I received a few Tombow markers from Tombow and wrote about what I got. Check out that post here. Needless to say I could not wait to get more. I saved up my pennies and bought the 108 Tombow ABT Dual Brush Water Based Markers. These markers can be used for calligraphy, lettering, bullet journaling, water color, coloring and much more.

This 108 set has been around since 2018. Before that there were only 96 Tombow markers. They added the colors 31 Lemon Lime, 291 Alice Blue, 379 Jade Green, 401 Aqua, 403 Bright Blue, 407 Tiki Teal, 569 Jet Blue, 803 Pink Punch, 817 Mauve, 910 Opal, N49 Warm Gray 8, N52 Cool Gray 8.

Tombow markers have a color number and color name. The color number depends on its color family. 0's are yellow, 1's are yellow greens, 2's are greens, 3's are blue greens, 4's are green blues, 5's are blues, 6's are violets, 7's are red violets, 8's are reds, 9's are browns, and N's are grays.

The marker has the color name on the side, the cap is coordinated to the color, but does not always match the color and contains the UPC for the color. The markers can be bought in sets or individually. Check out the post I did with that has all the Tombow sets along with HEX and RGB codes.

The marker has a brush and fine tip for writing. There is one barrel for the ink which they share.

Crayola 200 Crayons with Colors of the World

In 2021 Crayola came out with a box of 200 crayons. Someone on Instagram asked me about it and I knew I had to get it! I went to order it and guess what? It was only available at Sam's club. What a disappointment because I do not have a Sam's Club card. I asked one of my friends to get it and she did and here it is! I wondered if there were 200 unique colors, but alas there are only 120 unique crayons. I do not understand whey they did not make this as a unique 120 box, but whatever. It is a fun box and maybe someday they can put 200 unique crayons in it.

Here is the inside of the box. They made the design of the 120 box a little wider and taller. There are 16 count sleeves and one box of 24 Colors of the World crayons.

208 Count Crayola Crayons

Up until the 1990's the largest Crayon box Crayola crayons came in was 64. That was it. During that decade the 96 count box was introduced, then then the 120 box, a 150 crayon tower and then 152 crayon box. It stayed that way for a while. Until the past few years of the 2010's and 2020's. Crayola has started making larger and larger boxes. Some of these boxes include: 200 crayons, 168 crayons, and 248 crayons. The 168 crayon box is the only box that contains unique crayons in the box. All the other boxes contain duplicates. I bought this 208 count crayon box from Crayola. It has duplicates, but contains 128 unique crayons. Basically it is a 96 count box with 16 metallic crayons and 16 construction paper crayons.

The only thing I wish was on this box is the number of crayons it contains on the front. That would make it an even better box.

The box contains 11 crayon sleeves. There are two copies of the 16 neon crayons and three copies of the 24 crayon box and 8 colors other duplicate colors. It also contains 6 coloring pages and one sharpener. This box also contains 16 construction paper crayons, which is unique to this box. No other big box contains construction paper crayons.

Here is the crayon box with the colors sorted in color order. I love sorting them in color order because it makes it easier to see. I love how the sleeves fit in the box. I have the tubs and while they are very cute, the sleeves get a little squished.

168 Crayola Crayon Tub Featuring Colors of the World Exclusive Collection

To say I was over the moon about the 168 Crayola Crayon Tub featuring Colors of the World Crayons is an understatement. I was over the moon times ten! I was even more excited when Crayola sent it to me after Sweet Suite before it was released in stores. It made my day times ten. Seriously whenever Crayola sends me a package its like it is my birthday or Christmas (since that is what I typically get for those holidays haha). Last birthday I got like 7 Crayola items from family...This is an honest review and I am super excited.

There is also a 240 crayon tub with the same design.

This blog post contains affiliate links.

The crayon tub is available exclusively at walmart.com right now and will be in Walmart stores exclusively 10/12/2020. 

Ever since Crayola released their Pearl, Glitter, Metallic and Neon 24 count boxes I wondered if they would be incorporated into a larger crayon box. Crayola had the 150 crayon tower in 2009, then introduced the 152 ultimate crayon collection in 2013. Since the beginning of Crayola their boxes have been getting larger and larger (48, 64, 96, 120, 150, 152). There is a 200 crayon tub available, but the colors are not unique. I really hope a larger crayon box stays around because I think it would be great to include the new 24 Colors of the World crayons as standard crayons in the large crayon box.

What's In the Box

 The 168 Crayola Crayon Tub Exclusive Collection features 32 specialty crayons (7 glitter, 9 metallic, 8 confetti, and 8 pearl crayons), and 24 colors of the world crayons. The Confetti crayons are a new set of crayons released in 2020 based on the past box of Color Mix-Up crayons. I already took arranged them in color order. I integrated the Colors of the World with the rest of the colors.

The box features coloring book sleeves. The sleeves are mermaid, space, cabin, unicorn, miner, ice cream mountain, alien, boom box and space themed. There is a road or a river running on each sleeve that connects with the next sleeve. There are 5 different sleeve themes and 9 sleeves in the box. The 24 Colors of the World come in their own box.

What Did I Think?

I absolutely love the tub. It is super easy to close. The lid really locks when it is closed. It is made out of sturdy material. Once the crayons are dumped out their sleeves and that ALWAYS happens with kids it is nice to have a storage container to put the crayons in. That is what happens with crayons and other supplies in our house. They stay nice for a while and eventually end up all in a container mixed together.

I think it is a great idea to have a larger crayon box. I think it would be great to have the Colors of the World crayons and the pearl, glitter, metallic and neon crayons in a large crayon box for good. I would love to have all the extra specialty crayons in a box, almost 240 crayons. Having the Colors of the World crayons with the other crayons provides kids with the opportunity to use the vibrant colors from Crayola and put themselves in whatever imaginative world they create from jungles, to woods, to tropical locations, to every day locations of school, home, vacations etc.

If the larger box sticks around I might like a crayon tower or ultimate collection type of container to store them in maybe. I am torn because I do like the tub idea because it closes and the crayons would not accidentally get spilled all over like they do with the 152 crayon crayons. I understand there are limitations with one off designs (tooling to make a new container) and a tub is easy design solution to insert different number of sleeves into. The only reason I would want a unique box is the sleeves fit inside the box tight. I fixed that by putting one sleeve up with the Colors of the World crayons.

Collecting Information
This is a great box to collect. It may be around a long time, it may be around a short time, but it is a great piece of Crayola history especially with the new Colors of the World box.
