Did Mattel/Fisher Price release more engines from the Great Race? - Pablo392 - 10-18-2016
My son and I just watched the Great Race since it just became available on PBS.
We both (and wife, too!) enjoyed this short feature film, it was really fun, especially watching new colorful engines, creativity and in context.
I noticed few of the engines like Streamlined Gordon (Shooting Star) is/was available in stores as Trackmaster, and Streamlined Thomas as Take-N-Play, but I didn't see others. Does anyone know if FP released more engines from the movie?

There is a motorized railway Yong Bao coming but it likely wont be available in the west as collectable railway is only sold in Asia and South America.

Thanks for the replies, I wasn't aware the Trophy Thomas was part of the Great Race collection since he didn't look like that in the movie.
I just looked at FP website again, looks like they updated the website.
They even released disguised diesels, pretty cool. I like the Take-N-Play's better, but those are mostly out of stock now, like Ashima, pretty iconic in the movie, would have looked great next to Streamlined Thomas.

Sorry for the late reply, If you watch the paining scene thomas has a mini montage and apears like that for a few moments.

Thanks.
They took it off PBS, if my son pushes more I'll have to pick up the DVD/BD.
I checked the little clips to see if it was there, nope but Thomas sure looks magnificent in the scene where he dreams being streamlined.
Come to think of it, the music in this movie was exceptionally good. So catchy and high production value.

I think my personal faviroute was diesels song, it's full of suprises to say the least!

Plarail is getting Streamlined Thomas, Shooting Star Gordon, Ringing in Tekoro Ashima, and Ringing in Tekoro Streamlined Thomas.

I don't mean any offense when I say this, but how come so many people seem to be so behind in the news? It was pretty clear about 3 months ago that The Great Race wouldn't get any more merchandise from Mattel, and almost everyone and their grandmothers seemingly had all of the characters in the ranges they were known to collect.
