Take and Play for a change...

His name is Ace (as stated on the box), and he's from Big World! Big Adventures!. If only Mattel's engines were as awesome and realistic as their automobiles. This range was called Adventures and replaced Take-N-Play until it too was discontinued and replaced with an even uglier range with the same models but with TrackMaster's gauge and coupling system. They're worse than the Interactive Learning Railway (a cross between Wooden Railway and Take Along).
