 Wooden vs. Die-cast Characters June 4, 2007

Some reviewers are confused between the wooden and die cast characters. The wooden ones ARE expensive yet well constructed. I had reservations letting my son play with them when he was only 17 months but one mother told me, "you can drive your car over these and they'll be just fine." So at 18 months, we bought a few of the 18 month appropriate toys--push heads and pull train-- and harold the helicopter. Then we bought a few dvds with the free wooden toys. Then we started buying a few of the individual wooden characters as he became more familiar with their roles in the stories.
We have not bought any die cast because they haven't received the same great reviews as the wooden toys. They are NOT the same size. They do NOT fit on the tracks. They are marketed as "on the go/take along" perhaps as a cheaper alternative to the "real wooden toy". The fact that they are metal made me steer clear of them. They didn't seem as safe as the wooden versions.
Some of the reviews give the wooden Emily a bad score but they refer to the diecast toy as not fitting. So it's not the same character and if you want them to be compatible with all the different tracks, you'll have to invest in the wooden product. They are expensive but from what i understand, not as much as other train collections.
The educational value is amazing. I was determined to only purchase the dvd/free toy combination until I realized my son knew all their names, the train vocabulary "buffers/domes/etc..." And he simply adores them. To compensate for the cost of the real wooden toys, we simply don't buy all the tracks and stations. The world is his track and should develop his imagination just as well as having all the different play tables.
Beautiful Emily June 7, 2006

Emily is beautiful engine with shiny paintwork and gleaming brass fittings. After she rescued Oliver and Toad when they were stuck on the tracks, Sir Topham Hatt rewarded her with a brand new pair of coaches.
Emily is a very attractive hunter green engine with brass-like paint and yellow trim. She has an unusual larger wheel in the middle of her engine, and comes with a tender (attached with a magnet) that is filled with "coal".
She's one of the larger engines, and rare in that she's one of the only females on the Island of Sodor. My son enjoys playing with her and she's very sturdy!

Emily is one of the friendly engines in the Thomas and Friends Wooden Railway. She has a pleasant smile on her face and comes with a coal tender. My little boy is in Love with Emily but frequently calls her "La La". The paint is durable and the plastic pieces are minimal and will be great addition to your Thomas collocation.
My son was 1 when we started his collection and they have been a favorite ever since. When the children like the trains it cuts down on a lot of other bulky toys so the clutter is minimal.
 Too Expensive January 5, 2006

Are you kidding me? Thomas the Train is fun for kids but no fun for adults. These are the most grossly overpriced kids toys around! I recommend Veggie Tales products or anything made by the Japanese toy company "Maisto."
