Chuggington Wooden Review & Action Thomas

[@Just_B_9706]

This is just Soo wholesome and emotional of how long this has been 😢🥹

[@leokimvideo]

@dcgitz in this contest i have no rule related to titles, but ask yourself are titles needed on youtube? did this video start with a title? generally titles on the tube are boring, my advice is try to avoid them

[@leokimvideo]

@shortround551 thank you, I have tried to minimize the rules in this contest so we really see some variety happening i'm hoping to see some very radical entries, it could be time for a massive chuggers bash Having a really nice Thomas prize attached to the enemy will test some here, my advice is use the force luke, use the force

[@leokimvideo]

@bryboy321 maybe I will also make a second part, and see where my Brewster takes Thomas!

[@leokimvideo]

@Jva71000 thats fine I struggele as well, especially the big steamer

[@leokimvideo]

@DAVE01568 pt2, in my reading about Autism I noticed that sometimes LEGO is used as a tool to assist children who have Autism, due to it's non rigid playing and building. I also met a boy at my daughters school who has mild autism and sure he has a train fixation, he also watches my videos as well. It was amazing the information he has stored up about my videos. Yes I am always pulling toys apart, those screwdriver shots are in loads of videos, thanks for being so open about your son.

[@Trainboi1983]

That explains why I love legos

[@ylwpyro9549]

Chuggington may be alluring to the eye and ear with its bright colors and pompous characters, but Thomas, I feel, will always be #1.

[@leokimvideo]

@Trainsforlife286 good luck if you do, what catches your eye, action thomas or the 65th celebration wooden set?

[@ToopyAndBinooRulesEst2004]

[@michelacastelli4767]

Olwin is my favorite character from chuggington

[@leokimvideo]

@Thomas4trainz yes 3D entries are certainly welcome, my contests often have 3D entries which do quite well

@001lightyear thanks, it's lovely to get a comment like this, I do like looking carefully at what chuggers are up to, they have a huge job on their hands to win over the hearts of children i'm so glad the wooden have magnets

[@leokimvideo]

@BeanMeister22 Chuggers have a HUGE job on their hands to win over the giant Thomas army which literally has multiple generations of fans and some are now parents. This wooden range by Chuggington is I feel their strongest product BUT their toys seem to be very difficult to find for many as lots of tubers have reported to me this franchise is still not available in their country. That has surprised me indeed.

[@trainguy111]

One of my favorite chuggington characters is Zephie. She is one of the cutest characters in my opinion. Her face almost reminds me of Tiny Kong from the Donkey Kong games.

[@alfiehorovitz1709]

Let’s go he picked Thomas tank!

[@SteeleFilms1]

i just thought back on how many videos of yours i watch each week a few minutes after i posted the comment below where i began with so the age old question, and i realized i normally watch about 90 a week. i have lots of time to spend on youtube after school so i get to watch a lot of your videos and i have even longer on saturdays and sunday after i get back from church. i rewatch alot of your videos over and over. i am definitley all thumbs up on your all your videos!! major fan!!!

[@leokimvideo]

@LegoFreak4842 thomas did have a advantage of being on the right side, if you watch the way he picked up toys in the previous video he tends to favour pick ups on the right side using his right hand

[@Nightshroud99]

Great Video! And the music from that rail car at the end brought back memories :)

[@illiniguy34]

At first, the competition between both Wooden Railways was like Hot Wheels and Matchbox, since they were both made by Learning Curve. Now, it is now true competition between both Wooden Railways. As for the bigger and smaller sizes for both (Trackmaster/Interactive and Take-n-Play/Die Cast) were already true competition since they were already made by two different companies, Learning Curve and Mattel.

[@cattrainboy05]

I have entered the contest.

[@ewoutro]

I just managed to upload! I'm so relieved!

[@Stuingtion]

I shall be entering this contest

[@WarlordSh4Dow]

When I started watching this video I tried to remember the reason why I sub'd to you, and I honestly couldn't remember... I know it was before you were doing so many reviews. But the reason really doesn't matter any more cause I've found an awesome tuber that just keeps on producing awesome content! Keep it up!

[@nicholashidekishigenagados5849]

Chuggington is so cool really awesome

[@thegreensaddletank1636]

9 years later he has been found Action Thomas!

[@leokimvideo]

@001lightyear thanks for your thoughts here and I certainly respect your words. It's really important to have comments for and against both toys, considering chuggers literally cloned the thomas wooden style i can't looks at these chuggers without engaging the thomas models

[@leokimvideo]

@cubeproduktion whats your thoughts on the new Thomas sets with loads of plastic in them, how much plastic to you need before a railway stops being called wooden? i know the chuggers playsets are super loaded with plastic

[@Jake_Josh]

0:30 I hate how spooky the opening is.

[@jonathan3540]

Am wasn't even scared in the opening since I was younger.

[@uncoolgodlikeperson1416]

Episode scary that Bruce the gave me

[@leokimvideo]

@TrackMaster555 from what I read Chuggers was started by ex Thomas staffers! Thats what's stated in the wiki article on Chugg Ludorum (Chuggington) was founded in 2006 by Dick Rothkopf, Charlie Caminada and Rob Lawes. Rothkopf had previously been the chairman of Learning Curve International, a company which designed and manufactured educational toys. Caminada and Lawes had previously been executives for HiT Entertainment, the distribution company behind Bob the Builder and Thomas and Friends.

[@pepperthekobold]

Chuggers in order are Old Puffer Pete, Koko, Brewster, Wilson, Olwin, Mtambo and Irving. The reason for lack of sleepers on the track is probably due to the fact that on the Chuggington show, the tracks to not have sleepers, but instead have a flat base from which the rails rise. This can be seen particularly well in episodes in which the track is being replaced, such as 'Hodge and the Magnet' and 'Quiz Master Hodge'.

[@OmtayFC]

My two year old wanted to look at the Chuggingtons this morning at Target (in the US) now that they are compatible with his Thomas collection. We couldn't find them and the salesperson told us that there may be some Chuggs in the clearance section, but Target is no longer going to be carrying Chuggington at all!

[@SnowflakeTH]

Chuggington uses diesel engines as part of the main cast. I've seen one episode, which lacked the steam characters, so I'm unsure how far they go with said appeal of railroads. I think Chuggington is pretty remarkable with it's merchandise though; they sure do know how to appeal to children, and making their products newer and edgier than Thomas. I think Merchandise is going to be a key point in the battle between the two shows. Chuggington has its edge, but how long can it last?

[@leokimvideo]

@martin0mac2000 maybe I will do a video of a few chuggers and thomas wood in a cement mixer with some gravel to see who comes out looking better! the chuggers stuff looks very robust, and interesting no one wants to talk which one presents the better value

[@JuanRuiz-uy2mg]

Looking back at this video, it starts to make a lot more sense why your son says he likes both each time you ask him about his favorite toys.

[@leokimvideo]

@DAVE01568 a very small number of people entered this contest, so this makes it very exciting, I will really miss my custom Action Thomas, just hope it's going to a home which will love him for what he is.

[@thomasthetankengine7350]

I love both of them. I have a collection of both.

[@jourlenchery792]

Thomas and Friends met Chuggington

[@001lightyear]

@leokimvideo i think i speak for all of us to thank YOU for your top quality videos avery time and as for the pros and cons on the toys as much as i prefer thomas for mostly their looks to chugginctons i think that a big pro on the chuggincton ones is that are easy to handle for small hands (kids) brighter colours to stand out and a tad more of detail but i wouldnt change my trackmaster thomas for any of them lolz :P

[@RiflemanMoore]

It's interesting, the note on colour. Working on a preserved line I can say that any small blue engine is Thomas, any large blue engine is Gordon and a red engine is James, James being the most distinctive, the only standard gauge red engine in Thomas. We have an engine of the same type Pete Sam is based upon and with slightly older kids I try to explain this, "Pete Sam's brother," or similar but I don't think the style is distinct enough for them to see it, colour is far more important.

[@GrammyAnn1]

brewster takes thomas to a dimensional portal to chuggington

[@robbycastelli6486]

Olwin is my favorite character from Chuggington because I love to make her into Spencer from Thomas & Friends all the time

[@TrackMaster555]

I recently paid a visit to hobbytown usa here in tennessee in the us. This hobbytown store was in johnson city tn. They have wooden chuggington toys there.

[@leokimvideo]

@Trainmaster189 franchise bloat is something I don't like about thomas, do we need all these variants of what is essentially the same thing? the thomas wooden (all metal) powered is not good, and i have covered this before, thomas wooden does lack the fine details that chggington have done so nicely, and usually detail equates to expense

[@SodorIslandProductions]

Raw Raw Raw! Nice contest and it would be nice to have that special wooden set, shame i have nothing to make the video with, so i wish all who do enter, Good Luck!

[@leokimvideo]

@BooBooChooChoo561 There is a element of being cheeky in both characters.

[@LegoFreak4842]

Leo this video is amazing! I thought your son would pick the action Thomas but I was wrong!

[@martin0mac2000]

another very interesting and informative video as always Leo. Looking at your video, Although I appreciate the extra detail that Chuggington has put into these trains, but I just see them as things that are going to get smashed off. The Thomas stuff is allmost indestructable, and the collection I have has survived 16 years of abuse (being thrown into a box, then tipped back out again, repeat multiple times, and all that has suffered is the paint job, I doubt Chuggington would have faired as well

[@leokimvideo]

@trainsandtrek it must be remembered those behind Chuggers once worked for Thomas, Hit entertainment and Bob the Builder, well that what wikipedia tells me

[@Tuck1011]

I remember watching this exact video when I was younger

[@cattrainboy05]

I've entered the contest. My entry is already up!

[@AssaultWolf]

nice video mate. i see your son is very smart of picking up the Thomas. i do another comment after i think about the wooden trains.

[@leokimvideo]

Update Re: Contest Judging is complete and there is a draw. Should I let the audience decide who becomes the winner? One entry as copyright music in it, should this entry be allowed to win considering the rules related to copyright music on youtube? Only one of these tubers was seen by me to autoplay my Chuggington review and it was part of the rules to gain bonus points, should this play out in dividing the entries? Both entries have outstanding stories which have real surprises in them.

[@trainboy7]

I'm really glad ya got around to taking a look at these chuggington toys, my only gripe about them is that they're all tha same size and that their expensive to me, (yeah, I'm a cheapskate) XPI use to collect thomas wooden rwailway toys when I was little but now I stick with bachmann, hornby and maybe tomy/trackmaster

[@leokimvideo]

i'm aiming for August 20 to release the winners details, but please don't hold me to that as i'm still recovering from not feeling the best

[@Thomas4trainz]

@leokimvideo Thank you Leo, I just didn't want to upload a video and be marked out of the contest for not meeting the requirements haha. Expect to see something amazing soon ;)

Remember the Thomas model from my logo. That era Thomas was creepy to me

[@piperswhispers]

what?

[@otakurailfan]

great video! I am still a Thomas fan, chuggington.....ahhh....its ok, many flaws I know, its a kids show. Its good that chuggington and thomas can connect to each other.

[@melpaulyanke7504]

i think that Thomas is better because it was an original idea and the creators of chuggington copied also i would love this for my little brother

[@zyortech]

Melanie Yanke the first

[@leokimvideo]

@trainboy7 yes you definitely need your parents permission you can use any style of railway you have, and Brewster can be made of anything as long as he's blue and yellow

[@shortround551]

I PLAN ON ENTERING good luck to everybody i cant wait to see what brands of thomas everybody will use

[@leokimvideo]

@SodorSteamworks thanks, nice to hear

[@leokimvideo]

I have just done the check for those who are autoplaying this contest video for bonus points in this contest Only 5 entries have earned bonus points, those entering in the last days only receive half the bonus points compared to those who entered earlier So straight up the contest is down to very few entries, to win you really have to follow the rules.

[@leokimvideo]

@SnowflakeTH i am hoping that by changing action chuggers paint scheme and adding a face I have made him as popular as thomas tank, maybe this reveals a aspects to the magic pulling power of thomas on a childs mind in a way it creates more questions on this topic

[@leokimvideo]

@thomasandferdinand14 like all my contests it will play out for a few months, BUT if it looks like a failed contest I will close it early. I have done this before so my advice is don't rush but also don't delay!

[@leokimvideo]

@simierski the big question is which company takes me to court for this cross over, it seems thats the thing some tubers are alerting me to these days interesting how little people like to fell large trees, possibly they have far too much time on their hands or take out their lack of success on someone else

[@leokimvideo]

@Nictrain123 yes it is open to 3D entries, I expect to see Brewster as Brewster in the 3D entries

[@LNER4771]

Your son reminds me of my little cousin, Brennan, when he was younger.

[@awesomeaustin5704]

One day I'd really like to see an official Thomas chuggington crossover but more then likely that won't be the case

[@pikachuisverycute07]

I'm gonna give a suprising thing here, Tomy Thomas is back! (Technicially) Tomy bought RC2/Learning Curve which makes Thomas and chuggington! So, we have Thomas toys made by a company run by Tomy!

[@leokimvideo]

@SodorSteamworks i don't want tubers to use my video as this will cause chaos in the comp, all the content has to be produced by you!

[@cjmO117]

right brewster takes thomas to chuggington but review the action thomas when your son is older. But great review my son loves watching this while i learn about the toys.

[@chavopatyduckoliverfanstud4149]

2:30 oh no its Clancy The Awesome Dude runnway from clankio due He lies all the time, for example, he said Disney’s Trains will come out on July 10, 2021, when it actually won’t.

[@Nic_2751]

The amount of plastic is alarming

[@leokimvideo]

@meg0n00by i'm not rushing him, he's got to go through the entries very carefully

[@leokimvideo]

@WarlordSh4Dow just on reviews I moved into that as i felt there were many very poor reviews going on, especially ones not pointing out the issues with toys, i'm about to do a lego V megablocks and I can tell you it will be a massive eye opener in many ways. any toy franchise who are taking the buying public for a ride is in my eager sights, not sure if you notice the core backbone to my channel are videos crafted around a consumer affairs topics, which I take very seriously.

[@TheRyanCarMan]

@leokimvideo Oh! Thanks for that! I was focusing more on the set building for this. I'll enhance my story a bit!

[@leokimvideo]

@SodorSteamworks thanks, seems to be quite a few entering so far

[@bertiethebusfan14]

i think the reason why details are simlar on the chuggington toys and not the thomas toys is because all the chuggington toys are owned by learning curve and thomas is own by learning curve and fisher price

[@leokimvideo]

@meg0n00by well tell me who do you think is the winner, remembering the rules of the contest, are both characters involved in the video?, does the story have a end result?, does the story stand out all alone without needing to watch the video? It is a story strength contest and visual content is not part of the score, there is another tuber looking over the videos as well to assist me in finding a winner.

[@leokimvideo]

@TheRyanCarMan the contest is still open, once we hit 20 entries I will put up a closing date it does seem like a fail contest, not many tubers interested in entering, one good aspect is all the entries so far have been amazingly good and that's really nice to see. always remembering the key to winning is in the story, it has nothing to do with the production values of the video..! a good story will always in the end be a winner!

[@leokimvideo]

@RobertMProductions yes it's a very nice prize BUT you have to engage with the chuggers, that will be a real test for many!

[@leokimvideo]

@berboma i see via the CGI they can do storied like Splish, Splash, Splosh, which would be difficult with models, but I fell the real action and great crashes have gone from the series which were great in the stories done with models. I'm also not comfortable with the crazy virtual camera positions used in the CGI version my heart is with the great model work which built the Thomas a fantastic empire to sell toys, dare say those days are now in the past.

[@james_fisch]

That looks like a neat contest. Need to tell my brother, MegaMario20.

[@Thomas4trainz]

Amazing Video, I will have to say. I love how your son loved both Thomass equally, I would've done the same, no matter what age I'd be haha. With the praise aside, I'm sorry to say, I'm wondering greatly about the contest: Would it be alright first of all if the contest were made in 3D like Trainz, and second of all, how long would it be, or recommended to be?

[@Jva71000]

@leokimvideo what i meant is that i dont even follow thomas or the chugginton line. the real reason why i subscribed to you was cuz of your lego review, but you make great movies at the beginning of each video

[@illiniguy34]

Learning Curve makes both Thomas and Chuggington.

[@alvarochavez9536]

I love this for my little brother

[@martin0mac2000]

@martin0mac2000 I'm acctually quite tempted just to enter this contest of your's, just as an excuse to have a crack at some of the small scale filming techniques you have been demonstrateing to us, could be interesting. As your intro video gave me some ideas for what should happen next.

[@leokimvideo]

I'm really sorry for the delay in getting the winners up of the Action Thomas contest, there have been a number of personal problems going on and I just have not had the energy to get videos made. Hopefully the weekend will see the winners video up, and how I would have entered my own contest. Tubers who keep hammering me for updates please back off I beg you. I always endeavour to do uploads which are worthwhile, i don't do fleeting moment vlogs.

[@leokimvideo]

I have been getting some questions why the tuber Thomas4trainz was pulled from the contest. This tuber asked me to remove his first entry and that was done, he had a second entry which had a running time of 14 mins, this was removed from the contest as I can't class that as a short video which is stipulated in the contest info. This tubers first entry was amazing to watch but lacked a vital element which it needed to be successful. He's blocked until after the contest closes.

[@leokimvideo]

part of the rules laid out in the info area said this.. To score good points what's really important in this contest is your story making sure Thomas and Brewster have clear roles to play. In no way is this a contest about amazing video production or special effects. so who has complied to this really important rule? i also hear copyright music in some entries, should they be allowed to stay in the contest or even win?

[@leokimvideo]

@guyoffun he knows where it is, thats seen in a previous video and certainly well covered!, but when Action Chugger is dressed as Thomas he did not go for the sound button. In the choice test I can't instruct him in any way, it's all his choices without instruction

[@leokimvideo]

@Stuingtion you need to have Thomas and Brewster in your story, that essential. I am pulling a video together to help tubers make a easy Brewster for their story, I will show some real simple ways of making a Brewster around a number of items

[@leokimvideo]

@TheRyanCarMan yes you can enter and not claim a prize, in fact I have had so many unclaimed prizes from competitions it's not funny, never really ever found out why people reject a prize

[@leokimvideo]

@mickeleh thank you, I am a hopeless letter writer but hopefully pull a half decent video together, I also sending little messages to bloated toy franchises ok, I see who you are, let me make a visit, been waiting for the charts I love
