My giant Thomas and Friends merchandise collection is laid out for all to see. This collection mainly came from a local charity shop that used to collect Thomas The Tank toys for me. Over a period of around 5 years this Thomas merchandise collection grew and grew. There is some absolute amazing items in this collection and also some that are not amazing at all. Via this collection you can see the shift over the years in how Thomas & Friends were presented. I can't look over this whole collection in detail but I will pick out the good, the bad and the ugly over a series of review style videos.

Thomas & Friends merchandise has been produced to capitalize on the success of the television series Thomas & Friends (formerly Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends). Whilst merchandise was produced alongside due to the popularity of the first of The Railway Series books by the Rev. W. Awdry since 1945, and the original broadcast of the television series in 1984 in the United Kingdom, large numbers of manufacturers have sought to produce Thomasbranded items after the television series was broadcast in America and Japan. The most popular and wideranging items of merchandise are the models of the characters, which have been produced in many different ranges, some including accompanying railway systems. The Rev. W. Awdry created the original toy model of Thomas the Tank Engine, which inspired the character, soon after the first book of stories was complete. In 1927, while still at school, he built Annie, and in 1948, he built Clarabel. Other popular products include videos, books and magazines, and computer games. 'Thomas' merchandise has also included such diverse items as: audiobooks, annuals, colouring and activity books, jigsaws, board games, stationery, clothing, cutlery, household items such as curtains, duvet covers and lampshades, and soft drinks and Spaghetti shapes.
