I do agree that Minis are at their core “gimmicks”, but I still do love them when I was little and still do now. And while I think their recent batch are getting either lazy with the classics, reuse previous themes, and have some really weird variants, minis still has a very special place in my heart and I can’t help but love them. If they were to go with a similar idea to Capsule Plarail I definitely wouldn’t loved it a lot more (since when I was little I’d go online and watch images of the Capsule Plarail sets and print them out, and I still have some of them). Or maybe instead of that, maybe it could be a rebrand to match AEG since it is a pretty wacky show than the other iterations of the franchise

In My Opinion, I Find The Thomas Minis Adorable Because Of How Tiny They Are. I’ve Been Collecting Them Since 2015 When The Minis Range Were First Produced.
I liked the minis when they first came out, collected as much as a I could and would bring them everywhere in pockets when I was younger, but around 2020 they fell off, especially in the US where they got rid of the blind bags and replaced them with throw away plastic wagons, making them more expensive and they didn't even give us the full series either. The designs also got more out there and more "cutesy". If given more effort they could've been alive longer, I remember at one point coming up with more themes myself like a entire theme just being transparent engines.
The same thing happened to me in 2020 where at some point I stopped collecting them all together but nowadays I’ve since gotten back to it. I do like the idea of transparent minis, it’s similar to clear minis Thomas and the electric minis
I don't know if anyone knows this but and yeah minis are basically gone is there no longer in stores like Walmart and Target and that's the new ones are basically the last ones
I kick myself for buying minis instead of TWR or Take n Play I wasted so much money on duplicate models and barely any track Mini engines do have potential but with barely any trucks or coaches and track it all feels pointless, like what can I really do with them? Nothing. Nice video PT!
This was my favorite range but they kinda ruined it. Although I am still a Thomas minis collector and I am planning to collect them all it still went down quite a bit.
This range is way to Gimmicky and These have nothing to do with Thomas! Mattel should have done the Same thing that Capsule Plarail did in Japan and i also Dont like is how The Tender Engines have their Tenders Molded into them Mattel should have made them Separate Tenders and You can tell that Mattel was runing out of Ideas But to be Honest this range is okay but i dont really care for this Line that Much but i got Some toys from this line back from 2015 and i kinda want to get More!
2015: sort off
Post 2015: DEFINITELY
This range helped me get back into Thomas around 2018

Yeah, they are, but honestly, a lot of thomas stuff is so it's not too out of the ordinary
Yes it is in my opinion
They're quite gimmicky, but I would be lying if I said I didn't like some of the themes they had.
As a Thomas minis enthusiast , I can confirm it is gimmicky
Ah a fellow minis enthusiast
I wouldn’t say they are too gimmicky

The first year of minis were good they had slight gimmicks to them but 2017 ish the gimmicks where amped up
I like this range as it is it can exist in its own bubble and no I don't want it to be like capsule plarail
I kick myself for buying minis instead of TWR or Take n Play
I wasted so much money on duplicate models and barely any track

Thank you! :D
Thank you! :D
I love them! They’re just little guys!
I don't think the gimmicks were too bad at first but after a few years they really ran it into the ground
Can you do a video about Thomas’ history in cinemas?
Don't think I will as it's not a lengthy enough topic to warrant a video as I'd just be stating Thomas films and what date they came out.
@@portablethomas Not just in the uk but the whole world
I got a question witch is the best mini Thomas range for me though I don’t have any it’s the ERTL miniatures
Can you explain why I have the item in the thumbnail

I've seen a gimmicky Spongebob The Tank Engine.
Thomas minis are like capsule plarails but way worse
It's not too gimmicy.
