Trackmaster Toby vs Tomy Toby - Super - 04-27-2015

While amassing a stash of, new in the box, Thomas and Friends trains for my future generations of which I have acquired 18 to date, I have been looking at Toby. Are there any video, side by side reviews that you know of or if anyone has opinions on the original Trackmaster Toby (non-talking & not revolution) and the Tomy Toby. I have had several used Toby Trackmasters that I have stripped for parts most recently two that I removed the black wheels and motors from. I quite like the look of the Trackmaster with black wheels and fake ones in the middle. I noticed the Tomy version has grey wheels and no middle fake wheel. The Tomy version comes with Henrietta and troublesome truck while the Trackmaster comes with a neat blueish coach and yellow van in the Electric Co. Delivery Set. Any opinions?

By original you mean the fisher price version right? I would think the Hit Toys version is better in terms of quality, compared to FP. I personally have a plarail Toby that has a gray wheels with the middle one.

Thanks NWR

Oh, so there is a grey middle wheel. I didn't notice it in the pictures I have seen. Does the HiT version also have gray wheels? The bodies look almost identical, could they be interchangable? How about the motors, could they also be the same in Trackmaster and Tomy? I have noticed that some have painted number 7 on the side and I have had some with a sticker like the Tomy shell I have here now.

They are very very similar if not identical. The King of Tobys is of course the flip face/flip load version from trackmaster which came in the copper mine set.

I would say the king of Toby's is the Japanese Talk 'n Action Toby considering it's rarity..

So nobody has seen or heard of a comparison video?

RE: Trackmaster Toby vs Tomy Toby - MuddyPoppins - 04-28-2015

I'd be happy to make one as soon as I can find the new Rev Toby Smile

Thanks Muddy but I would just need a comparison of a original Trackmaster Toby and a Tomy Toby. I am not buying any of the Trackmaster 2 or Revolution whatever they call the new release.
