I remember seeing these being advertised and people were uploading pictures of them. After a while I forgot about them until years later finding out they were never released. Shame this line up of Trackmaster products were cancelled.
It’s entirely possible that Hit Toy Company had much more plans for the Flip Face engines going by what they teased, however it’s also entirely possible that either there were some behind the scenes arguing, just trolling us, or that Mattel’s buy out of the Trackmaster line and just canceling the Flip Face series all together, definitely left us wondering what these could’ve been and what other engines would they had done. Would we have gotten Edward and Henry? Would we had see Diesel engines too? Were there any plans to make a Spencer of these since 3 out of 4 of them (Thomas, James and Hiro)were made to coincide with Hiro of the Rails? What playsets would arise from this line? Either way, they would’ve become as rare as the Thomas, James, Toby and Lost Hiro are right now.
There's an AU out there where Flip-face Percy and Gordon were released and there were also Flip-face Edward at Wellsworth and Flip-face Salty at Brendam sets
i own a flip face james and the amount of times i sat there and just played with the flip face feature like a child. god i wish i owned Toby and Thomas.
Sometimes they show pictures of upcoming figures that we are getting released, but apparently get canceled, never seeing the light of day, just another obscure prototype/unreleased figure that was canceled
I had a flip face Thomas and my sister threw it into the bin as a prank and it most likely went to the dump because I never found it she told me the next day that she put it in the bin, I cried.
I remember going to a friends house and his dad worked in warehouses and when my friend showed me the flipface percy It was so cool but he ended up breaking the pins so he threw it away
I ain't dying happy until I know what happened to these prototypes. I really hope they are out there somewhere, although they'd probably be in not the best condition. I wonder if they would even be motorized, or if they have another face. So many questions I hope are answered one day.
1 IT WAS DESTROYED 2 ITS OWNED BY A PRIVATE COLLECTOR 3 ITS LOCKED AWAY IN MATTELS ARCHIVES 4 ITS OWNED BY SOMEONE WHO WORKED ON THE TRACKMASTER LINE I REALLY HOPE ITS NOT THE 1ST ANSWER
I remember seeing the Trackmaster Flip Face Percy and the Trackmaster Flip Face Gordon on the Hit Toys Trackmaster set boxes when I was younger but it’s a shame that the Trackmaster Flip Face Percy and The Trackmaster Flip Face Gordon got cancelled, I wish they were made and I also remember seeing the Percy At The Ice Factory set that comes with a Trackmaster Flip Face Percy in Hit Toys Trackmaster pamphlets when I was younger, but it’s a shame that this set got canceled, I wish that set was made, I heard that a UA-camr named Cow Productions made a custom Trackmaster Percy At The Ice Cream Factory Set.
I would have really liked to see what we would have gotten if Mattel didn’t buy hit toys. Like would we have gotten Flip face Percy, Gordon, and Henry if hit toys got 1 more year?
Sup bro the answer to that question is that the cancelled flip face engines won't be inpossible to find on any online shopping sites, and they would be common to buy ofc.
We got robbed with that Gordon 😭😢 I would’ve loved to play with that Gordon as a kid . Maybe the set would’ve been a better view for Gordon set or something like that
I don’t have any flip face engines anymore, but I might look into getting some at some point. Though with that being said, I would make sure all the flip face track is placed within tunnels to keep the illusion up
Full honesty, before you uploaded this video, I didn’t even know there was a flip face Toby. I had only ever seen Thomas and heard that a James existed. For some reason, my child brain blocked out the flip face engines and substituted it with the RC engines. I guess that was just my baby brain coping with the fact that most of these engines did not come to exist
Flip Face Gordon at Knapford Station sounds good. Here's some stuff i cqme up with: Flip Face Henry at the lumber mill Flip Face Edward at Brendam Docks (it's on his branch line)
Also one thing is, apparently someone owns a very early prototype of Ice Cream Flip Face Percy, it’s real for sure, I remember a popular UA-cam channel showing footage but don’t remember which one, but in the end, I just wish we got it lol.
"Gordon was jealous that Henry got his own 'special' coal, so he went to the quarry and had his tender filled with chalk. This dealt such severe damage to his inner-workings, that he had to go to Crewe and never flip his face again."
All of the flip face sets’ buffers all have signs that connect to eachother. The knapford station sign means that Gordon’s set would’ve been set there.
I have attempted to make custom of these, I’m still working on it for the 3rd year now. I made a flip face Percy which he is done, but Gordon still needs work on
_Remember what they took from us..._ Btw I always got a railway series vibe with the faces not fully covering the smokebox door. Another reason why I love this line of toys.
yeah and after we’re done with the sanding to make it smooth af I would get what they used to make the molds with then I use what the models were made with.
Hit should've released Flip-Face Gordon with a smile and cross/angry face. It might've been a good replacement of the discontinued TOMY Powerful Gordon.

no kidding lol
lol gniddik on
the time when my channel went crazy with the canceled flip face engines
Your the guy that told us about flip face Percy and gordon
@@only.2.shark. well everyone needs to know lol, first vids of mine that really did well too 😄
Thomas fan

After I found that these were cancelled I flipped my face away from track master
*see what I did there :)*
A Knapford Station set with Gordon would’ve been a huge possibility

Here we go, the legendary flip faces!

its sad to see them canceled, they looked so cool
I think Percy will have a sad face and Gordon at Knapford station with a angry face
We got robbed with that Gordon 😭😢 I would’ve loved to play with that Gordon as a kid . Maybe the set would’ve been a better view for Gordon set or something like that
But it doesn't create a full loop
I don’t have any flip face engines anymore, but I might look into getting some at some point. Though with that being said, I would make sure all the flip face track is placed within tunnels to keep the illusion up
As someone who just recently got a mint inbox set of James at boulder mountain I’m very sad they cancelled 2 of them and how rare they are 😞
given how far technology has come perhaps someone could 3D print these lost trackmasters into reality, it isn't impossible!
Down with the traitors!
Up with the flip-faces!

Two things,
1- one thing that he can do that is printer them
2- if they made a thomas life acccion movie, you gotta be robert norramby
Flip Face Gordon at Knapford Station sounds good.
Here's some stuff i cqme up with:
Flip Face Henry at the lumber mill
Flip Face Edward at Brendam Docks (it's on his branch line)

Best trackmaster series ever to be released, at last for the ones that were released.
I have attempted to make custom of these, I’m still working on it for the 3rd year now. I made a flip face Percy which he is done, but Gordon still needs work on
Awesome video trainboy
YOU'RE TELLING ME WE COULD'VE HAD A FLIP FACE PERCY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its truly a shame that Flip face Percy and Gordon were cancelled :(
R.I.P to the legends we didn’t get.
If the flip face engines of Gordon and Percy were released to the public and would be able to buy them
At least we got Toby.
eyeliner gordon go brr
When are you gonna connect boulder mountain to action canyon mate
Anyone remember those projectors that could play full stories that you could reverse and forward and change the speed?
How do you have Flip face toby was he not realesed like Percy and Gordon?
Fr tho. We were robbed from such masterpieces
Collection vid pleaseeee 🙏
We were so close...
Gordon at knapford station set it would include flip face Gordon two express coaches the bridge knapford station and tracks pieces
Imagine someone just fines The Prototypes of both of these
Amazing video
Thank you so much homie :)
@@ItsTrainBoy I'm so happy rn
_Remember what they took from us..._
Btw I always got a railway series vibe with the faces not fully covering the smokebox door. Another reason why I love this line of toys.
But, like, where would the batteries go for Percy?
we really have to wait a year then it’s cancel
Wheres my gordons percys edwards and tracks im gonna make some of these
I used to own a working RC flip face Thomas one of the wires snapped
I found a flip face toby at a goodwill for $1
I NEED ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Specifically James
Maybe we could make 3D Printed Models of those!
yeah and after we’re done with the sanding to make it smooth af I would get what they used to make the molds with then I use what the models were made with.
flip face engines are so fucking awesome, no clue why they cancelled percy and gordon.
Mattel and hit missed some good opportunities for good products and decided to cheap out and give A oval Of track and non flip face engine
WHY DOES EVERY FLIP FACE JAMES HAVE GRAY WHEELS
Custom Gordon maybe?
Hit should've released Flip-Face Gordon with a smile and cross/angry face. It might've been a good replacement of the discontinued TOMY Powerful Gordon.
I know right? Sometimes people make concepts of what it would look like.
Nice vid
who remembers The Adventures of Thomas
The wooden one? I remember it, and Percy to.
They probably exist, somewhere.
Why does that gordon face look so weird lmfao
CAUSE ITS A PROTOTYPE
@@rouge4736 i know but it still looks weird even for a prototype in my opinion
@@Mile_Noukin That's just how prototypes are, i guess.
Maybe they need some time to make the flip faces
Gordon was on coke-
-ane
@@beccajohnson-choma1762 what was the point of finishing that?-
some people actually own the flip-face Percy.
They took what could’ve been a legendary set 😢
I have nothing against toby he's my guy but DAMN we got robbed of a filp face Gordon
I forgot to comment on this tbh I got lucky I own a flip face engine so W
Hi
Is wish Gordon came out
TBH I never really cared for the flip faces
Once you get 69 subs you should get knock off gordon
