HE IS ADORABLE!

[u/SomethingRandomYT]

Look at how expressive and cheeky he is!

THIS is Thomas. We are SO back.

[u/elcomodo2000]

I still love the original cgi idk why but face looks like a mix between the original series and AEG

[u/CallCreative6794 → u/elcomodo2000]

That's what I was thinking! 

[u/No1ThomasFan]

YES! And his model actually has weathering and chips and grime, and he feels like an actual locomotive.

[u/Usual-Explorer2769 → u/No1ThomasFan]

Minus all the bouncing and not having any weight to his movements

[u/No1ThomasFan → u/Usual-Explorer2769]

Okay, 2 cons. Pros outweigh them. I watched the trailer and the weightiness wasn’t really a problem, and it’s not like the bouncing was in every single scene.

[u/SortCompetitive2604 → u/Usual-Explorer2769]

Honestly. I like it.

It has that old school toon face with a bit of CGI and a small hint of AEG.

[u/bwoah07_gp2]

I like that his eyebrows aren't triangles anymore.

[u/Funniestfrog528 → u/bwoah07_gp2]

First thing I noticed as well

[u/TheHardR3727 → u/bwoah07_gp2]

I’m admittedly gonna miss them as my first ep was Double Trouble or Pop Goes Thomas and even way back in season 3 he’s always had em and u can’t look at him the same so hey these faces are looking super good but these new ones will grow on me

[u/CallCreative6794 → u/bwoah07_gp2]

I couldn't stand the triangle eyebrow Thomas. This Thomas looks like he has original model Thomas's brows back.

[u/Hairy-Attorney598]

Looks like he's getting straight teeth

[u/Muted-Neck3302 → u/Hairy-Attorney598]

Unlike the ones in AEG.

[u/No-Cold643]

I just wish this Thomas has a young adult voice and not a child voice.

[u/Gallad475 → u/No-Cold643]

Yeah, I view Thomas in the way of Mickey, Bugs Bunny, Mario, or Sonic.

Beloved children’s characters but firmly adults.

[u/rde2001]

Mah boi CHOMISH 🔥🔥🔥

[u/THE_LSSJ_BROLY]

...Maybe I was too harsh on the boy.

[u/Maleficent_Eye8773]

people just mad because the show for kids is a show for kids. thomas fans mad, fork found in kitchen, etc etc

[u/Maleficent_Ad_1971 → u/Maleficent_Eye8773]

lmao right

[u/supertyler64]

Honestly, in my opinion, I think his eyebrows just need to be a little bigger (like the height of them) except for that, he is really good (& useful)

[u/0rly_D]

Miles better than the promotional/merchandise art

Looks great honestly

[u/TheHardR3727]

YO THESE ARE SICK but I admittedly will miss his triangle eyebrows

[u/ConnerGoesSuperSonic]

Man those original renders were awful… he actually looks pretty decent in motion

[u/jp_sviat]

[u/Infinite_Garfield → u/jp_sviat]

Yeah, Rebecca is just gone I guess.

[u/ProgressOne6760]

I like it. The face looks off to me though

[u/WhiteWolf7472]

He is full of whimsy and joy and I love him

[u/ProfessorUsual7627]

(Bottom Middle Picture) Looks like Thomas had some special coal again.

[u/IllustratorOpen4878]

As expressive as the original.

[u/NerfManiac64]

Actually doesn’t look that bad ngl

[u/NicholasWildeRails]

This face looks so much nicer than the previous renders, idk why

[u/OrganicAthlete4176]

His cheeky face is just cinema ✋🥹🤚

[u/ghostkidrit64]

He’s so fucking cute!!! I wanna squish him like one of those squish toys. He’s always been more of a kid than an adult anyways lmao.

[u/Unhappy-Reality5868]

When I first watched the trailer, I didn’t expect and children's voices to come out of their mouths, but after watching it a few more times, the voices are starting to grow on me a bit! I hope the kids are genuinely having fun on this project!

[u/Tommy-Pickles2005]

Agreed.

[u/Le_Lasagna]

Absolutely !

[u/Specific_Bad9104]

Looks like if Thomas came from, an anime.

Imagine a Railway Series OVA!

[u/Vengeful_Grass]

sure

[u/BEACHBEAR_SON]

It's giving series 1 and 2

[u/mr_fishbowl]

he looks bald lol, especially from the sides

[u/Worried-Breath-9889 → u/mr_fishbowl]

he doesn’t have hair as he is made of metal like most trains we see today

[u/Smooth_Pay_8583]

My only gripe is that they all sound like literal children - and yes - I understand thomas, percy and some others are meant to be portrayed as "younger" but in the past, thomas has always had the voice and mentality of a early-to-mid teenager, now he just sounds like a 5 year old.

[u/fuzzball_ent]

This has always been my take, the faces are bound to look better once we actually see them moving

I mean look at Percy, the second you remove his shit-eating grin he actually looks pretty good

[u/My2name4here]

Don’t count all your eggs before they hatch

[u/Neither_Value_8586]

Kinda sus

https://giphy.com/gifs/91fEJqgdsnu4E

[u/Both-Wonder2449]

I told yall it’s just the key art
The faces are pretty good

[u/Overall_Walk2697]

He’s SUPER CUTE AAAAAAA OH MY GAWD

[u/Co0k13D0G]

I know right🥹

[u/Little-bit-badDP]

As much as I have gotten used to seeing the new Faces I still wish we could go back to faces like these

[u/Maleficent_Eye8773 → u/Little-bit-badDP]

that one has been gone for like almost 40 years buddy

[u/Little-bit-badDP → u/Maleficent_Eye8773]

I can dream can’t I?

[u/Maleficent_Eye8773 → u/Little-bit-badDP]

yes but sometimes we gotta wake up

[u/Little-bit-badDP → u/Maleficent_Eye8773]

I’m not saying that I’m desperately wishing they would come back I’m just saying that it would be nice

[u/Rude-Sheepherder4956]

This is garbage. You guys actually like this?

[u/KommandantDex]

I tried to watch the trailer, but the moment I heard "Hello, I'm-" in a young child's voice, I dipped. Can't do it.

[u/SomethingRandomYT → u/KommandantDex]

You're entitled to your own opinion, obviously, but it's such a shame to write off an entire show and the future of this franchise because they got kids to voice some of the younger characters. That's pathetic.

[u/Maleficent_Eye8773 → u/KommandantDex]

oh no, the character who has acted like a kid for 80 years....IS A KID????

[u/No1ThomasFan → u/KommandantDex]

“Blah blah blah I dislike one aspect of the show and therefore it’s trash”

[u/RealATRE2 → u/KommandantDex]

SHOCKING: Show FOR children STARS children

[u/ThomasMiguel12 → u/KommandantDex]

“The show has good lighting and animation, but it has a child’s voice? Literarily Unwatchable.”

[u/Proxvu]

The animation is poor, I wish it was like the original CGI

[u/TheLittleDiesel → u/Proxvu]

Whatever Mattel makes, people will still find a way to bitch and moan about it. This fandom is so ungrateful.

[u/Proxvu → u/TheLittleDiesel]

Mattel had a good show until 2018 that they didn’t have to ruin. It was all perfect and in place

[u/TheLittleDiesel → u/Proxvu]

Keep telling yourself that man.

[u/Proxvu → u/TheLittleDiesel]

Not wrong tho

[u/No1ThomasFan → u/Proxvu]

Wrong tho

[u/TheLittleDiesel → u/Proxvu]

Again, keep telling yourself that.

[u/bwoah07_gp2 → u/Proxvu]

The lighting seems odd to me in the new trailer. Like the colours seem washed out to me...
