Great comparison!! 🥰 The $ was very intriguing!! 👍 I have seen someone cut off the back end of one of the woodies. Half of the shaft is just wood, no crayon. Additional plus for the neocolor IIs is that if you sharpen the neocolor IIs, you can place the shavings in a container or watercolor palette and use it as watercolor paint. It would also let you create your own colors that way. With the woodies, you would have to sort out the wood to do that.

I think it's a bit much to call it a fraud. I think the purpose is that you will be able to use all the crayon inside and still have a chunk of wood to hold on to at the end. If the crayon went all the length of the wood, then you would get to a point where you physically can't sharpen it any more even with a knife, and you'd have at least an inch of unusable crayon inside. But it is true that you get less crayon in the Woodies compared to the Neos, and since the Woodies are already more expensive....

For travel sketching I tend to use the Inktense paint palette no. 1 straight out of the pans, even though they mix well.
