Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

Tomy has, yes.

Someone with the book posted a couple of interesting pictures. It seems the Pla-Kid Sir Topham Hatt is getting a new design. Looks more up to date and even a little bit fat.


This is or was going to be a design at a Plarail Expo as well, with a big Thomas statue in the middle.


A new destination which looks like a rehash of the Elsbridge Crossing Station. It's got a free wheeling Bertie, a control panel with sounds, and even a little cow crossing the track.


Three more destinations. A windmill, a drawbridge, and a mine tunnel.

Wow...Thanks so much Jdog

Its really good to see they they are still very active in creating new, cool, Motorized Thomas toys. That new designed PlaKid Sir Topham Hatt is a lot better looking than the original one, I must have a couple of him.

Just released! A Plarail Thomas 25th Anniversary Book containing the history of the range, secrets, and some info on new products. It's also got four bonuses including a Leisure Sheet which folds up into a box (posted a couple of pages ago), a sticker sheet with decals to put on your spare Thomas' to get The Great Race designs, a poster containing (almost) every character made in the last 25 years, and a Hiro Returns Home to Japan mini book.

I hope our Japanese friends can translate any interesting things from the book for us.

Here is Suzukawa opening and showing a little bit of what the 25th Anniversary Book/Package is all about.. Its pretty cool with what looks like a pictured list of every Plarail Thomas characters ever made. Those custom Thomas stickers are a neat idea and would be great for sprucing up some of those extra Thomas trains everybody seems to have.

That's a really cool book, I think the stickers are a great idea and I wish there were more, perhaps they are testing the waters with the limited amount included in this book but still something new and interesting

how can we buy it? i would love a copy or 3, lol.

thanks for the pics and heads up, jdog.

You could search up on FromJapan to see that there are many copies of this book up for sale.

do you have a link, please? just tried jauce with no luck, and fromjapan said results could not be returned?

Here is some video of these new Thomas items.

Many thanks for the link to the video ThomasFan. Lots of neat Thomas accesories on the horizon. Wonder when the planned releases are?

Because of your Link I noticed this video of a new character type train although I don't recognize who this is. The title says 'Shimajiro Express'. Looks like it can be used for younger children to learn shapes, colors and numbers although I think those number cards and the plastic shape inserts would get lost easily. Anyone know who this is?

the character is familiar, though i dont know the name. quite a different set for early learning for youngsters.
