Miniature ERTL thomas review part 5: the characters
Well guys and gals here is the sort of final part of this round of discussions I will be reviewing each and every character that I have
Thomas
Pros:
He fits to scale with almost everyone else
Cons:
The back of his running board juts out of the back much like his 1992-2001 wooden model
Final score: 8/10
James
Pros:
Has the most detail of all the engines
Cons:
His proportions are pretty off
1.his tender is smaller than the rest of him
2.his firebox is too big (come on this isn't Henry)
3.his cab striping is poorly done compared to his regular sized ERTL counterpart
4.his tender wheels don't all line up with the tender
5.His funnel and done are the wrong sizes
6.his front two wheel arches are too small
Final score: 5/10
Toby
Pros:
The textured detail is a nice touch
Cons:
Much like his regular sized ERTL counterpart he is too big compared to the others and is unable to fit under the shed roof
His front and back windows jut out of him when they should be flat against him
His cow catchers are absent in his miniature form
Final score: 6.5/10
Duck
Pros:
has a lot textured detail
Cons:
his steps to his cab make him unable to fit on the turntable
Much like his regular sized ERTL counterpart the sides of his running board are red when they should be black
His face is far too small
Final score 6/10
Diesel
Pros:
Has the best face of all my characters
Cons:
Has no painted detailed apart from his siderods and bufferboards
Final score: 7/10
Bill
Pros:
Fits to scale with other engines
Cons:
His SCC lettering is absent on his miniature model
Final score: 9/10
Trevor
Pros:
I don't know
Cons:
His scale is worse than toby
1: counting his funnel is bigger than toby
2: is bigger than most of the buildings when he shouldn't be
His wheels are pretty flimsy
Final score 7.5/10
Annie and Clarabel
Pros:
Have most detail out of all my characters
Cons:
None
Final score: 10/10
Even though this is the last part of this wave of reviews this is not the last I'll ever do if I get more characters and sets I will review them but for now I will end on this note
