From the awkward shadows of Thomas Wood, Mattel finally come good. But why did Mattel ever think a premium toy like TWR required a cheap n nasty downsizing to Thomas Wood. How much damage did this do to the brand?
I still have no idea how Thomas Wood was even approved; it’s mind blowing. However, if this new line is their apology to the fans then I’m here to accept it!
The 2022 Wooden Railway Henry looked amazing and my favorite Henry for obvious reasons. First of all, I absolutely love the wheel configuration and it's exactly the same just like what they did to Gordon and even Rebecca. Second, the top feed and Dome are correct and it's miles better than the original Wooden Railway counterparts because they are kind of lacking. Third, the face is honestly pretty cute because his face is kinda nervous or shy. Fourth, I absolutely love that they gave Henry the rivet details and that literally begs the question, you had given the steam team members rivets even Rosie in season 23 and 24 so, why not do the same thing to Edward and Henry? Overall I absolutely adore this model.
TBH, I hate the rivet detailing from the last two Thomas series as well as the newer toys (excluding the Motorized talking engines, because I somehow find it funny because they don’t really match the upgrades from the show). And I don’t like Henry’s facial expression because it makes me think of the Sharon Miller-early Brenner era. But I do have to give Mattel credit for making his wheel configuration extremely accurate.
from childhood sometimes I always wonder why wooden railway are missing their buffers besides some characters don't have buffers wood attempt to give buffer printings which was okay though wood was such a failure this year 2022 the buffer printings is still going though some rolling stocks don't have buffer printings
I think for wave 2 my favorites would be Emily and troublesome truck with paint since her body looks a lot better than her older models and i am glad to see rolling stock back. I am still waiting for my Rosie to come in but i can still the wood model for my pictures but I think that this model of Henry is ok to me he looks like a clone of Gordan but i can get pass it with the tenders sharing somewhat the same base.
Wave two has a lot of excitement in store! I’m very curious to see Emily irl. I’m glad Henry looks like Gordon in this case since Gordon’s such a good model!
@@MaxMonty1516 thanks! i don’t think there is a barns & noble but i’ll check the other places! Edit: so i checked online it said nothing was available, how long do you think it’ll be?

They didn’t think it needed a rebrand. They’re just cheap and nasty lol. They even changed the connectors so you had to buy theirs.
To much damage

Which is more of employees credit.
Mattel themselves aren't even sorry for treating the Thomas brand so poorly.
@@islesofforeignrails7917 true. Though I'm still VERY grateful for the new design team they hired in 2020 (which is when these were designed).
Once an engine attached to a train was afraid of a few drops of rain he went through a tunnel and squeaked through his funnel and never came out again
I preordered my 2022 Henry and Edward back in February, and I recently received them this month
Nice! I didn’t preorder them but they still got here quickly

+Drevian Edwards Productions Actually, Rosie had rivets since Journey Beyond Sodor.
i received henry the other day along with rebecca, i got to say 2022 henry is an improvement
Nice! I think this is the best TWR Henry!
I think the new TWR Henry looks so accurate to what he looks in the show and I like that he has hie two domes. I totally can’t wait to get him
He’s so good; Mattel really put 110% into making him!
i like these models
i always wanted to get into wooden railway so this might be where to start
I think that’s a fantastic idea!
That Henry face is perfect for episodes like 'Henry's forest'
Henry certainly kicked wave 2 off with a bang what a beautiful model. Perhaps my favourite TWR 2022 model
He certainly did, definitely a favorite of mine!
@@MaxMonty1516 wo-oh glad I'm not the only one who has this as a favourite
I love how it looks like Henry
I Gotta Get These Now!
They sure are accurate!
@@MaxMonty1516 yes
The Henry model looks even more great when it's put together with Gordon model
I wasn't expecting wave 2 to come out so quickly! But I'm not complaining there is some good models for wave 2
Me neither; but I’m happy they’re here!
Henry might just be my favorite engine in the new TWR line
Very good choice of a favorite! He’s up in my top 3.
I hope u get edward and gordon and some track so u can do sad story of henry
Hey there’s an idea! That story with these new models sound cool!

You ever noticed both when you put them together, Henry and Gordon are looking at their top left?
I wonder what they're looking at
@@MaxMonty1516 Henry's face when he's having a peaceful time in his forest.👍💚😊🛤🏞🌲🌳🪴🌱🍃🍂🍁🌿

Henry is the most accurate large-scale engine
For sure, he’s very impressive!

Why does no one ever mention of weird the bottom hanging off so far is?
Henry looks great
Agreed, very happy to have him!
I got him along with nia Rebecca diesel and Kevin at TOYS R US in NEW JERSEY on our second day on Tuesday
I really want to get these , but mom says I’m too old for these
Just say I'm never too old and also how old are you I'm 10
And I have five of these Thomas Edward Gordon James Percy
I Got henry from a 2 hours away Barns and Noble
It was Fun I might get edward Next Month
Neat!
Does your henry have a problem with the bogies being a little loose and not pushed in enough?
No, I can’t say any of my models do.
Epic you got him to! Quick question are you getting Edward?
Absolutely; I LOVE Edward!
any1 kno when edward is coming out? my b day is in 13 days
He’s already out! You can find him on Amazon.
where did you get edward and henry? i’m trying to find them but can’t, i check amazon and they weren’t there, im from canada
If you’re Canadian you have a few options. They’re at Toys R Us, Barnes & Noble, and Walmart up there!
@@MaxMonty1516 thanks! i don’t think there is a barns & noble but i’ll check the other places!
Edit: so i checked online it said nothing was available, how long do you think it’ll be?
I Stan Henry
honestly who doesn’t
@@MaxMonty1516 ikr
Awesome video
Thank you!
@@MaxMonty1516 no problem glad I could help you out and you're welcome my dear friend
I did not know they made it Toby
Yes they did! My review of him is coming soon!
Awesome!!!!!
Yeah he is!
I’m a big fan of your videos.
Thank you!
Where did you buy Henry?
He’s on Amazon along with the rest of the new models; you can also find him at Barnes & Noble soon
Again did Mattel just put all their effort into making Thomas wooden railway good and nothing else
Can u do Edward next
Good news, Edward should be next!
Henry
Who made these again? I know it’s not Mattel…
Or my sarcasm
It’s shocking how much a different design team can make
I would just rub off the eyebrows and and give him a new expression like something from season 4-5
Emily, Henry, and Gordon doesn’t look that bad
Not at all! Emily has a couple problems but I like all of em
hi i know you
