Ultimate Spider-Man: Marker by Number (Tri-Coastal, 2012)

Background

This cardboard-boxed marker set is from Tri-Coastal, released in 2012 under license. It was imported into Canada by Bravada Industries, and hence features all text bi-lingual English/French.

Story Details

Inside the box are the five chunky markers (Red, Yellow, Light Blue, Dark Blue, Black). There are also four loose-leaf illustrations on white paper.

General Comments

The illustrations are annotated for "Color-By-Numbers". I'm really not sure why they bothered!

According to the numbers, Spider-Man's costume is entirely Red and Black, and the background is Blue. I noticed one are of Spidey's body which is annotated "1" and "5". Both Red AND Black in the same area? That's impressive!

I tried out the Dark Blue marker... but it had long-since dried up despite being in a plastic wrapper. I'm guessing they were pretty crappy markers.

Overall Rating

To add insult to injury, the discount store in Australia where I purchased this abomination insisted on charging me $6 for these four pieces of paper and five dried-out markers in a battered cardboard wrapper.
