The Splat: Coloring the '90s (Nickelodeon)

The media could not be loaded.  I love this book! It really takes me back to being a kid. It’s great quality, amazing pictures, and so much fun to color.

The media could not be loaded. My kids were growing up in the 90's and we watched their television shows together. After homework and chores were done, they each got to choose a show to watch and it was pretty much always a show on Nickelodeon. Seeing “The Splat” coloring book show up was a trip down memory lane for me. Almost all of our favorites are in the book including: Real Monsters, Angry Beavers, CatDog, Hey Arnold, Ren and Stimpy, Rocket Power, Rocko's Modern Life, Rugrats, and the Wild Thornberrys.The book includes 47 designs. There seems to have been a team of illustrators as there are several styles. Some of the designs have thicker lines and a more open feel while others have thin lines and are considerably more detailed. I like all of the various styles and levels of detail as it makes the book that much more fun to color.This is what I experienced while coloring in this book and testing the paper with my coloring mediums. I will list the coloring mediums I used for testing in the comments section below. These are also the materials I use for most of my coloring.47 Designs based on Nickelodeon cartoon series from the 1990'sPrinted on one side of the page with a quote on the back of the pagePaper is heavyweight, white, slightly rough, non-perforatedGlue BoundMost designs merge into the binding areaBook opens fairly flat for coloring by breaking or creasing the spine heavily.Alcohol-based markers bleed through the paper. I suggest using a blotter page of card stock or several sheets of paper to keep ink from seeping through to the pages below.Water-based markers, gel pens, and India ink pens do not bleed through the paper.Colored pencils work very well with this paper. I got great pigment from oil and wax base pencils. I was able to layer the same color for deeper pigment, layer multiple colors, and blend easily using a pencil style stick blender.

Wow first review ever on Amazon (I should feel so proud). Sorry I didn't add a picture, but the product is exactly what is advertised here (at least for me). Another reviewer gave legit photos of some of the book's pages.Packaging:The book shipped and was delivered on time.Came in perfect condition, with those puffy air-filled cushions surrounding it.There weren't any marks, bends, tears, or problems whatsoever.Quality of the book:Now, I won't actually be using this since it is a gift for someone else.BUT I can say that I really love the design and structure of the book. It just tugs at those nostalgic heartstrings. The in-book quotes that other reviewers are raving about aren't that amazing. It's just a few words that a character said once upon a time in a random episode that I couldn't point out to you. "Oh yeah, that's something Tommy said once.... *flips page apathetically*"The pages also seem in good quality. Nothing has fallen out after flipping through it. I see what other reviewers are saying about having to actually bend the cover or spine of the book in order to have a totally flat surface when "coloring." As for coloring, I cannot imagine any adults actually using markers on a book like this. Be classy and use colored pencils, y'all. Then, you won't have to worry about ink bleeding through paper. However, you'll still need to face the fact that you're using crayola products at 28 years old.I'd recommend buying this if you: 1) like artsy stuff, 2) like Nickelodeon and cartoons, 3) need an idea for a cheap gift that has the flair of nostalgia.

I LOVE IT ❤️ I'm a 90s baby so my heart is very happy . I honestly don't want to share with my kids 🤭. Will definitely have to buy more. Love the quality of the page my markers(cheap) are not bleeding the page . It's so many fun pages to chose from it just brings back memories. Buy 2 keep 1 gift the other

I honestly fell in love with the coloring book. The pages bring back so many childhood memories, the pictures were perfect and shipping was so easy. The best purchase ever.

I absolutely love how fun and relaxing this coloring book is, full of cartoons from when I was a child. I do wish there were more books, maybe with more pictures of the thornberries and rugrats. This book has a wild variety of cartoons, some that I watched and others that I didn't watch. It's printed on great quality single sided white paper perfect for markers, colored pencils and everything in between. If you grew up watching toons in the 90s and enjoy coloring, I'd totally recommend this book

Awesome! Great coloring book. Detailed and brings back a lot of memories.

I absolutely love it! Just got it into the mail today and the book was nice and crisp, the book is put together very well, the pages are perfect so you can use markers fine on them, I’m not sure about permanent. But I do suggest just Incase to put an extra paper underneath the photo you are coloring just Incase you have strong colored markers. The details bring back lots of memories of when I was a child! Great book to dive into your childhood and remember all of it💛-it is an original Nickelodeon book so it’s not an unofficial one and the prints looks amazing!-if you see the prices are more expensive on the back so what you get it for is actually a great deal! 100% worth it🧡Don’t waste your time trying to figure out if it’s not good enough, your kids will love it and I’m sure you will love it!Also there is easy pages to color and some medium and then there’s the category of “adult coloring book” pages in there whiche mean that they are a little crazy lol. But a really fun book to have!

Genial para desestresarte y, por qué no? Desarrollar algún talento artístico escondido

stunning

This book holds the most iconic/classic cartoons of Nickelodeon in the 90’s so don’t expect every character u know e.g. spongebob, fairly odd parents, Danny phantom etc. You’ll expect the Rugrats, wild thornberries, hey Arnold, cat dog etc. I think this colouring book is perfect for passing time and feeling a little nostalgic too!!

Estoy súper satisfecha con el libro.Lo pedí para que llegara al Estado de México y me llegó mucho antes de lo estipulado, el servicio fue excelente.El libro llegó en óptimas condiciones, muy bien empacado sin ningún rasguño.La calidad del libro es muy buena, la portada es de muy buena calidad, las hojas son muy gruesas y con excelente resolución.A los que están pensando adquirirlo, no lo piensen más, la verdad vale la pena.

I've literally just recieved this and opened it straight away. I am blown away. Well worth the price if you ask me. Nice and clear printed pictures, only one picture per page (which is useful for any pen leakage), but feeling the quality of the paper I'm sure there wouldnt be any seeping through! Very high quality and would definitely recommend!
