Anyone hyped for the 2026 collection? They are going back to basics.

>>11719194Since when is the approach to the Tidmouth Sheds turntable from the side?
>>11719206The new toys are based on the upcoming cgi reboot. There's also a videogame coming this year.
Hahaha, wtf were they thinking?
>>11719191Was trackmaster era peak Thomas?
>>11719191Mattel should have never taken over the franchise.>>11719260This was the worst shit
>>11719382Mattel always owned the franchise
>>11719384Mattel didn't own it during the model era, which is the only era that counts.
>>11719384retard, they didn't own it until 2011>>11719392based
>>117191912021 Covid restrictions sent Tom to a dark place
>>11719191I wish they did thomas micro machines
Wouldn't it be cool if they extended the license out to model trains as well? They have to know there's an adult audience that would be all over realistic renditions the TTTE characters.
>>11719779>Wouldn't it be cool if they extended the license out to model trains as well?They do.
>>11719647Same
>>11719260Not even close.
>>11719647>>11720083They kind of did back in the Ertl diecast Thomas days. My younger brother (who is the reason I got into TTTE despite being too old for it) had most of these. They were like a combo of Mighty Max and Micro Machines.https://ttte-diecast.fandom.com/wiki/6-Piece_Adventure_Playset
Chugginton is better
>>11721159Lol
Are there Thomas toys with expressions? specially any of the ones at the bottom?

>>11721872I came very late to the party... well, thanks anyway.
Is wooden railway still dead?
>>11722508Sad, but true. Supposedly, Mattel's planning to reboot it, next year, but nobody is for certain.
>>11722550Fug even if it came back, they'd use those ugly reboot faces huh?
>>11722508No
>>11722508It's been dead since 2008 (2012 if you're feeling generous)
>>11722508Speaking of wooden railway, is it nonexistent in retail? I've only seen like a small slot of thomas stuff in target and walmart but never wooden railway stuff. Only places that I've seen them is the train museum in Sacramento and this one up in the foothills, think it was jamestown but they were like 50 bucks for like hiro.
>>11719214I love how all the promo art for Percy makes him look like a smug asshole. After spending decades being marketed and written as a literal retard, this is the face of someone who stopped caring and is just here to watch the neighborhood catch fire.
>>11723840Percy was always a little troll, especially in the early seasons. Sometimes, he would be worse than Thomas .https://youtu.be/T3X47PVveLU?t=84
>>11723840>>11719214Same feeling
>>11723692mattel/fisher price got a hold of it in 2013, ran it into the ground because of course, tried rebooting it 2-3 times (each time worse than before), retailers told them to fuck off
