The Collection Corner #1: Ertl Miniatures (Thomas & Friends)

[@ThomasTheorist]

I don't get why Minis never did any sets like this, would've been so cool, i would have bought them!

[@MATT2productions]

Actually my good man, I attempted to do that out of cardboard years ago

[@MichaelHabib-zk5qf]

Me too, fans made track and rolling stock on thingverse

[@jackgraham9801]

All we got is Mattel Trina make Thomas hotwheels

[@MaxMonty1516]

Would have been much better than what we actually ended up getting, that's for sure!

[@MaxwellTheTrainFan]

Honestly … yeah If minis just only did classic and metallic models that would have been fine and done the see through packets from the start and then small sets like these like for a example … perhaps thomas at the windmill or stuff like that And they did 3 packs tho they were random . Say gordon and the express or James and the coaches or Percy and the trucks or thomas Annie n clarabel Would have been so cool Tho alas . We never got it did we theorist ?

[@Steamboatproductions37]

How is the ertl minis more scale accurate than the regular ones 💀

[@MaxMonty1516]

That.. is honestly a great question, haven't thought about that before lmao

[@MaxMonty1516]

Hey all! Want to address a couple things from in the video: There *was* footage of size comparisons to various merch ranges, however I lost that footage a couple weeks before editing. Sorry about that :/ Also, I put the water tower image on the wrong layer so it ended up not being seen over the video. Admittedly rookie mistake, need to be better about spotting that stuff.

[@petersans9878]

Hmmm..I wonder what Edward is doing today. Edward: *At the sheds* Edward: *In The tunnel* Edward: *At the viaduct* Edward: *At the Station*

[@MaxMonty1516]

He's a busy lil guy, there's really only one but he's just moving really fast

[@Salty-mw6mo]

looks like i might need to start a new collection

[@MaxMonty1516]

They're really fun to have! Good luck on finding some of these sets lol

[@ABellEngine]

They look tasty. I'd like to see a video on ERTL's other miscellaneous Thomas toys, like the keychains or the wind-ups, or a video on other obscure Thomas toy lines like, Pocket Fantasy, Waku Waku, and De Agostini.

[@MaxMonty1516]

Fair warning: they do not taste good. Funny enough my Duck and Toby were the keychain ones but I cut them off to have the normal models lol. Definitely cooking up some more stuff when it comes to obscure merch!

[@The_NW_EngineYT]

I actually first found this range in person, a gift shop at a heritage tramway had Duck and Diesel in Mint Condition on keychains.

[@MaxMonty1516]

That's really cool! Wish I could see these for sale in person

[@eduardoaguero1220]

I want the Mini Ertl Thomas Keychain, I will die happy if that happens

[@TheGuestsStuff]

Uhh. What ERTL mini character is even your favourite? You said that James was your favourite You said that Edward was your favourite You said that Bill and Ben were your favourite (in the show) You said that Toby was your favourite. You said that Diesel is your favourite (or was it just the set you meant) I WANT ANSWERS- Also I have the Thomas James and the Troublesome Trucks pack (out of box)

[@Jaetheboy-yj4jk]

Can you try and get more of those

[@drevianedwardsproductions9244]

The Thomas Ertl miniatures look pretty interesting.

[@joeysimm5777]

I got some of the tiny ertl Thomas toy

[@adamschannel5677]

personally i prefer bluebell but i can see the appeal in ertl miniatures, they have a much better selection of characters,expandability and track. do you know they made henry and mavis too?

[@MaxMonty1516]

Totally get the appeal of the Bluebird stuff! Would love to own them someday. Henry and Mavis are so cool, wish they weren't so rare

[@MaryBrock-ct2fs]

Thank you found 4 sets that Grandpa bought for my son. Didn't know how to assemble or the value almost gave away!

[@ww08]

Man I've always wanted the mini ertls They're so cool and fascinating for being so tiny, but like look at the faces. Anyway, I'm about to watch, cannot wait.

[@MaxMonty1516]

Hope you're able to get some at some point! They're really a delight!

[@BlueTrainProductions-ew8gg]

Thank you for making this video. There’s like no good documentation of these sets at least all of them so thank you.

[@EmS2o1o]

How did he get four Edwards when the other characters were just two engines or the road vehicles how did you get four Edwards instead of two

[@Thomas_fan01]

Ive seen a Henry idk if its real

[@MaxMonty1516]

He's real! They made him, alongside Mavis, near the very end of the line's run. I wanted to touch on them but didn't bc the vid was getting so long
