Not all Thomas die-cast toys are the same. I found Thomas Percy and Murdoch Thomas characters in capsule vending machines which seem to be offering non licensed knockoff Thomas toys. Once I have a closer look these small Thomas toys are showing some awkward features. All seem to have the same Thomas face, the magnetic coupling system is not sticky and the die-cast shape of Percy and Murdoch is wrong. Thomas is missing his middle wheels. At $2 a pop this is not going to be the right sort of Thomas toys for young children. The hard up comparison to a REAL Thomas Adventures Thomas highlights the weirdness of these cheat toys. But I really wonder where have the amazing TOMY capsulated toys gone. They used to be available from these sorts of vending machines.
All these nasty knock off dark side toys and merchandise are a strong reminder to us of the excellent quality seen in the real licensed Thomas and Friends merchandise, it really is worth paying that little bit more to have toys which are designed and built to last.
In no way can I endorse these knock off products seen in this video, they are low quality and often have small parts which easily break away.
