Thomas the Tank Engine:My First Thomas & Friends

My First Thomas & Friends is a range of chunky plastic toys, based on characters from the long-running children's program Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends, they are produced by British toy company: Golden Bear Toys.

The range started in c.1994, and was advertised for young infants who enjoyed the series. The models were safe for younger fans to play with, and unlike the ERTL diecast models, had no unsafe parts to them.

The range started with only a dozen or so models, and has now grown to around 40-45, the range was (for a short-lived amount of time) available in America, under the company Tomy. The toys are still available in many good retail toy shops all around the UK, and despite speculation that perhaps the range has discontinued, after the absence of three years without new products; brand new models have started to appear on Amazon.
