THEY MADE THOMAS MOTORIZED REBOOT TOYS

I'm hoping Plarail keeps Thomas as is. I bet Mattel's next move is to pull the plug on the Plarail Thomas range like they did with Chuggington. They're probably going to make Takara Tomy get rid of the Thomas range as they don't fit well with Mattel's standards. Probably why not much Plarail Thomas products have been released this year.

This new Motorized range will probably replace both the current Motorized & the Plarail ranges.

If Mattel were to force Japan to stop producing Thomas than that would be enough evidence they are only making these failed reboots just to burn the older fans off.

I know Bachmann will survive so given Plarail is a third party brand we do have some hope.

I just want to sue Mattel for ruining our public image.

I can confirm that Mattel does not really like their Hit Entertainment properties if they are trying to keep fixing things that aren't broken but never learn.
