Plarail TOMY Thomas NEW RELEASES

The updated Percy looks great actually, because if you notice the grey troublesome truck in the back has a 3d face! Hopefully this will become a norm for the troublesome trucks, as red Rosie's new trucks also have two new troublesome truck faces, both 3D too. I hope just hope they don't mess up Edward's chassis if they are redesigning him, most likely he will only come with a grey Troublesome truck with a new 3D face, a truck almost identical to the new TS-06 Percy set for release later this year. As for Henry he is likely to be redesigned next probably as soon as 2019, he will definitely receive a similar chassis to Gordon, except it would be more right angled, having four small fake wheels and Gordon's new style traction rod on his green wheels. And of course Henry's face would be updated and he would most likely come with either a troublesome van or a troublesome truck with a 3D face. Hopefully a troublesome van.

Edit: Also I will mention this new rendition of Thomas is the first EVER Thomas model which actually has a fully painted gold moulded whistle!! And the windows have finally been corrected too, much like the Fisher Price 2009 Thomas! Definitely going to get Percy, Rosie and Thomas! What about you guys?

Next year, there might be a Nia & Rebecca, but that’s just my theory.

Sometimes wishes do come true Colin, so keep wishing for all of us.

I didn't think this S-36 Tobu Revaty was to be released until the end of April but here is an unboxing video already. Take a look at the rear hidden coupling at the 7:30 minute mark......what the heck is that???????

^I believe if the exact same coupler went into it, they would interlock/intersect into place for a complete connection. Can be wrong though, but from what it looks like, one end is long (with hole), the other one is shorter and bent, with a little knob on it. That might be where they connect.

Looks like you are right Star. Here is a close up screen capture of this new coupling taken from another video of this new train. I wonder if they have abandoned the hidden magnetic couplers for these type engines because maybe they were weak and came apart easily with the trains would separating on their own going up hills and such. So far I beleive this is the first train with this new type of hidden coupling...at least the first I have seen. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MlKwcrT67ho

I do believe its highly highly likely they will be made, 99% chance, because they are part of the "new steam team" - but they will probably be released by mid/late 2019 or latest early 2020 since Japan gets the seasons and films ("specials") one year later usually.

Honestly, I would love love love for TS-25 to be Daisy, I HOPE!! She has been prominently used for many episodes in both seasons 20 and 21, and she is a female character - something that critics of Thomas have been ranting on about Thomas being sexist but frankly the genders of the engines / rolling stock / non-rail vehicles don't matter. I bring this up because many of the new engines released by Plarail are female, being an updated Rosie, Ashima and Caitlin - so Daisy in this case would be a very welcome edition, she would probably be very quickly sold out once she would be released!!

Honestly, I would love love love for TS-25 to be Daisy, I HOPE!!

FlyingFordFalcon made a fantastic looking Daisy body shell for Diesel 10, available on Shapeways right now. The face even comes in different sizes in case you're looking for a face for an HO- or OO-scale model.

I know - I'm talking about an official release of Daisy though.
