So a while back, my friend: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/acr/ wanted me to try something where I compare Thomas models from different eras. but the thing is, there are very few characters I own more than a few models of. but I thought I'd try it out anyway, and to make it more interesting I will rank these models from worst to best. I've also decided to use someone with a lot of interesting variations. Here we go.

5: minis

I don't really know why, but this one just seems... Wrong. I don't get why they didn't make prints of his front windows. Not to mention this model doesn't have an articulated claw. And the face is just the most basic face on all of these, and not in a good way either.

4: WOOD

I know The WOOD has been given flack for a long time now, but cmon! The model is very short, and Thomas, is way taller than this thing. I mean, imagine this guy creeps up to you and yells "give me all yo lunch monay!" I doubt even Phillip would take this thing seriously. The only good thing about this model is that the claw functions alright.

3: take n play (2014-2017)

The worst thing about this model is the claw, all it does is just go in a circle. I know the WOOD one does that too, but considering the predecessor of this model... The only other bad thing about this model is that the bogies, aren't really bogies. The paint is alright though.

2: wooden railway

Alright, now we're getting in with the good models. The paint scheme is really nice, and the face is the best of all the ones I have.

1: take n play (2010-2012)

Even though the face isn't as good as the previous one, the rest of the model makes up for it. the body is the right shape and the claw can go up, down, and all around. This diesel 10 is the best one I have.

Well, that was quite a ride, but I loved looking at all 5 of these models. And I might do this again soon, stay tuned.
