I remember watching Trevor Davis’ video about the Q&A of Thomas Wood and apparently the reason why they did this change is so that parents and kids can tell the difference between the various toys. It’s a poor excuse.

[@bow-tiedengineer4453]

If they had wanted to market on sustainability, you know what they could have actually done? Maybe bring back the wooden domes, smokeboxes, and funnels, reducing plastic? Maybe even swapping the wheels out for turned wood. Heck, if they wanted to cut costs and reduce quality while playing it off as a more sustainable choice, they could have done simpler printed on faces instead of the molded plastic ones. I see what they were theoretically going for by showing off the wood, but the people who are making the decision about purchasing the toys are old enough to understand that WOODEN railway is made of freaking WOOD, without you showing bare wood on the toys.

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

This would've been FAR superior to the Thomas Wood we got

[@caboose9843]

If it was just printed faces, I wouldn't even be mad about it. Shit, I'd be happy if it was actually to reduce carbon footprint Edit: I've changed my mind, I want printed faces regardless. They look better.

Didn't the earliest ERTLs have printed faces? And they were one of the best Thomas lines produced - if Mattel's people had a brain cell between them, oh how different things would be...

[@EternityKingdomsHeadHoncho]

@@ajaxengineco Hot take: ERTL Thomas, while well-detailed and made, is inferior to Take Along/pre-2014 Take-N-Play. The scale is far more consistent, the coupling system is a heck of a lot more durable, and the engines' faces don't look bloated. While I understand that ERTL has its perks (where else are we going to get merch of Bluebell and Sixteen), I feel like it's kneecapped by inconsistent scaling (WHY IS TOBY SO FAT), fat faces and a wonky coupling system.

Needless to say all of his engines that are available in the new reboot are those and the others are pre-bobo Thomas wood.

The early Thomas wooden items from way back in time were built by a Swedish company called Brio who built many decent wooden railway items and still do and they weren't bad if you ignored the non spoke design wheels, i still have the UK outline locomotives from when I was little and they still look great now and they are well over 20 years old (highly sustainable). Obviously when Mattel waded onto the scene they obviously decided to use a cheaper method as those new Thomas wooden trains look like they have already done 20 years of hard play time.

Thomas Wood legit looks like one of those toys they dig out from 90 years ago when people today would talk about how janky and simplistic looking they were and most the paint had faded and chipped off. And I don't know where the fuck they're getting off on 'millenials are willing to pay more for sustainable products!' People are willing to pay more if the QUALITY matches that or is better than the normal version. Most folks I know don't want to pay more for less no matter how 'environmentally friendly' you tell them it is. Normal shit cost enough but you're telling me they expected parents to pay more for crappy shit because it's 'green' and for their kids to accept it? As a certain engine said "DISGRACEFUL!'

Thomas Wood is a complete failure of a range. Thank god it’s discontinued and replaced with the new improved Thomas Wooden Railway range with engines with accurate wheel configurations and much better tenders and details! The unpainted Wood engines are the absolute worse along with the tender engines with their blocky tenders and their sizes shrunk down.

Here's my personal theory on why Mattel excuted that whole "being environmentally friendly and improve the product" thing poorly at first was to save money (in the short run), at first AND have people miss the old, better wooden railway, just to then execute the plan better and capitalize off people hating the old wood. Basically like that theory about Coca-Cola purposely having New Coke fail.

Even with the tenders on Thomas wood, they are just a block, but the older ones had a curve at each end, so therefore less wood is used on the older ones than the newer ones.

Enlightening! As a train boy myself, I was sorry to see that Thomas Wood line come out. It really was a joke, how terrible those models were. No detail at all, not appreciable to kids, or adults. At its root however, the change, naturally, had to do with train manufacturing cost cuts, which in the end trickle down to Mattel shareholders lining their pockets even more than they were with the original Thomas Wooden line. It’s obvious when you look at the train. What’s really sick, is that this notion of pure profit based on manufacturing cost cuts was all covered up with this premise of an environmental movement, as TrainBoy explains so well. This is where Mattel messed up though, assuming Thomas was Thomas, that people would want it no matter what, and that all the extra profit that could be sucked out of the franchise belonged to them. Mattel was of this persuasion, based on some study from the 1990’s showing that children back then preferred a toy train with a face. As we know, kids think too, and are interested in their trains because of actual reasons relating to play & character. What a bunch of fools Mattel were, still believing in 2015-2020 that they were the only ones that could make a wooden train that would sell. It’s a disgrace to the American tradition of toy trains, really. Sometimes, I think the products weren’t even tested in a play room. I’m glad to see the new and improved line though. Mattel’s prices on the newest models should be more reasonable, to make up for the insult to their previous loyal customers & children.
