I would accept Rocky getting a CGI face if it was the one he made reacting to Diesel saying "I'm as getty as a school boy" in the Christmas Carol episode. Just because I find that scene very funny.
I remember ucwepn's video of that pack from many years ago, I like the variation of Percy's face with a shocked face along with the inclusion of Rocky.
I got my Plarail Rocky in the 'Legendary Hiro Popular Set' which also came with Hiro and Spencer, definitely one of the best Plarail packs in the last decade or so.
I remember seeing this engine set when I was very young! So cool still seeing it today. Another fun Tomy Set was the Thomas bridge set with the milk wagons that rattled and shook. Really fun that set was! I wish I had one growing up.
The first Plarail engine I ever got was the Japanese Talking Edward TT-04 back in February 2008. I still have it today. Edward’s motor has since been replaced but the talking mechanism in the coach still works perfectly. I would end up getting the TT-05 Talking Henry a year later in June 2009. Those were the only Plarail items I owned as a kid but as an adult I have since purchased several more items from the Plarail range. I will be getting this pack for Christmas and several other sets and packs as time goes on. Great video by the way!
The shock face Percy was originally made for the Thomas Percy and the Dragon set. Plarail likes to incorporate this variant of Percy wherever they can. It must be an excellent seller in Japan.
I actually have plarail Rocky, yet not the O face Percy :(, still I'm happy I actually have a rare plarail item in my collection :). Keep at it with the cool content man!
Hello TrainBoy, I don't know if you're going to read this, but I hope you're doing well and same to everyone you love, your work and personality are great and I wish you the best for life! :)
I’m pretty sure people wanted the pack for the surprised face Percy, but all jokes aside, this pack is golden! Even though your box has a 2017 update, I’m glad they kept the original render of the two items.
I just got a Percy, a 2009 Trackmaster Percy to be exact and I'm customizing it while watching. (Painting running board white, painting chassis block black, and painting the little black things that I guess hold the boiler up? Idk.)
A couple years ago, I decided to give PlaRail a rest in favor of HO scale, mostly so I could model real life USA steam and Thomas on the same layout. Your recent videos are making me want to grit back into it, I still have close to a mile of blue track laying around.
Even the original T-28 Percy and Rocky release from the original lineup didn't have a photo of Percy and Rocky, although they do interact in Hide and Peep. The TOMY UK release of him does come with a special red flatbed variant, like the Green Flatbeds that have Terence and Co, with a Yellow Crate, and he faces forwards aswell unlike the TrackMaster release, although he only rotates up to his left and right since he is motorized and the wiring wouldn't work 360.
the thing with plarail rocky is its been modified, as it is the UK trackmaster rocky but without the motor, the US trackmaster rocky is from what i remember a proverbial train wreck as he's technically backwards and looks as though they didn't think about the match truck properly, plus the match truck has some weird stuff to it which makes it look really off also, while writing this i did just find out rocky was first released in the UK under motor road and rail just before the trackmaster switch, but considering we still got the Tomy variants of the engines for a while after the switch, and weirdly only the UK one was motorized from the looks of things when it comes to the tomy variant, as the images i can see from the packs it appears in in plarail he doesn't have the toggle switch to raise and lower the magnet, so in a way the UK got the best version of rocky maybe? i mean i believe so as it is a much improved plarail version that has a play feature that works, and makes the perma attatched match truck make sense, where in the current iteration at least it makes no sense to have the permanent coupling, could have gotten away with just doing the tender couplings instead and make it a tad cheaper if there isn't to be any electrical connection, although despite always going to prefer th eUK version, it is nice to see it still in use, as it is still better than the Hit Toys variant
I use lego with my trackmaster and plarail sets so if I ever get my hands on one of these I'll probably find a way to replace the magnet hook on rocky with a lego one. That way he'd be able to lift cargo and an engine

No way he fucking said that…
He said "Giddy", not "Getty"

Wow it was released in 2010, I feel so old XD.

I’ll be honest with you, if you got a Tomy/ Trackmaster engine with an expression that isn’t a blank smile, you know you’ve got something special

Let's see who got that reference
I got it
motorized rocky from Trackmaster is actually peak so...
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" panted Percy as he dragged the crane behind him, "I hope no one is hurt!"
Man accuracy on the face on this guy is just 👏
Video title: “Unboxing”
Trainboy: “I already unboxed it, oops”
Me: “Those bastards lied to me.”

this is the best remix for Percy’s theme ive heard in a long time. you cant help but tap your foot to it
I actually have plarail Rocky, yet not the O face Percy :(, still I'm happy I actually have a rare plarail item in my collection :). Keep at it with the cool content man!
Same i do have the Rocky but sadly not the Percy
Plarail did make a magnet crate set, it comes with Harold and Thomas
A custom face for Percy alone makes me really want this pack but Rockys the icing on the cake
I love your videos, Someday you might get Plarail streamlined Thomas in your future
I’m lovin those layouts man. Another awesome review!

I saw this set when I was a kid and it still stunned me today😮
I swear Percy’s theme slaps so fucking hard

Rocky for life!
When the two percy's meet it's gonna be world shattering
I love this, sucks rocky isn’t motorized but this is is great 😁 also Trainboy where did u get THEM
samee!!! I buy plarail off of a Chinese website and it doesn’t come with boxes. I live in America, which makes it even harder.

Hmm I think the hook thing on the flat car is just a push fit, no magnets from what I remember.
I start the vid and I immediately see a clip of Elotrix.
Neat
Fun fact: Back in the day, around 2012, Rocky didn’t come with a back coupling. You had to manually add one.
How convenient that I'm ordering this same set in a few days-
I’m surprised you got your first taste of Plarail as a child
I had mine too when I was 11.
Maybe you could add a hook to Rocky? I think it would look cool if you found one small enough!
is a motorized rocky rare? cuz i got one for christmas for a really good price
Awesome video trainboy
Rocky should have his own Works Unit Coach similar to that of the breakdown train.
The nostalgia.
Honey wake up, @Trainboy posted!
Wow I just ordered it like a week ago and now review it nice 👍
I use lego with my trackmaster and plarail sets so if I ever get my hands on one of these I'll probably find a way to replace the magnet hook on rocky with a lego one. That way he'd be able to lift cargo and an engine
i wonder what happened to the Kickstarter money?
I love this video😂😂❤❤
Cool! I have this one in my collection
you should make a ww2 plarail thomas. kinda like the bachmann you made a few years back
where does he even manage to find this stuff?!
I have a Trackmaster Rocky and could put it up for sale if you'd like.
you should do another trainz video but with scenarios
Do you have a Tomy talk and action thomas? The reason why I ask this because saw piece of talk and action track on your layout.
I do from my childhood and some of the tracks still! I still need to fix him however as he only plays sound and doesn’t move :/
There's one bwba episode where they all try to get rocky
The best hello
I like it and kinda want one myself
Side Note: Hey Trainboy can you do RWS customs for Trackmaster,Plarail and Tomy?
Damm your hands got moves
I've still got my tomy rocky
Guess who is turning 100 next year
Same
Hey trainboy just wanted to say I somehow have the motorised plarail Rocky and idk how I got it but does anyone know what set it came from?
YOO PERCY
perpy and roki approved :)
Yo you should custom railways series thomas
Percy and rocky met in CGI
Too bad it isn’t on Amazon
Based
Use A Wooden Railway Crate. It's Magnetic!
You got it wrong. You forgot R/C Percy!
CLOSE but that’s Trackmaster not Plarail 🤣

I'm personally a bigger fan of the cgi plarail percy face
