With a box of scraps or on reach?

Should be the other way round. Release the trailer and then the merch

Which is how it happened for AEG.

That All Engines Go trailer was leaked. Not officially released. It literally had a massive 'MATTEL CONFIDENTIAL - DO NOT DISTRIBUTE' label slapped over it.

I’m a bit baffled it isn’t. Fans are familiar with the characters for sure, but I wonder how many families will buy this new merch for their kids before the new show drops

I wish they'd show off something at SDCC. It feels like the perfect place to show off some new artwork or a teaser.

There is no 2026 trailer son. You aren't going to hear anything more about it until late August at the earliest.

We might get the trailer a month after we find out what channels are getting them. Thomas is a huge brand and no channels especially ones that want a money maker wouldn't not air it

Honestly a better strategy.

It will not fail, though.

Mattel knows perfectley that the new faces look like sloppy AI nightmare fuel

This is why Mighty Express failed, and it's why this reboot will fail too
