Title: CGI and original faces
Post by: Rollin Mayham on March 28, 2013, 04:35:34 PM
Here's my question why do they put the CGI Thomas and friends faces on the Ho scale models or even have full out cars that are supposed to be CGI when they could easily make the original Thomas and friends from back in the day it makes more sense that way than it does with the CGI way. Then when they do or ever will make some of the new engines from the CGI show they can just look at the original trains and figure out how to make the original version.

if the look of the characters change in a show, then the products (i.e. toys, model trains, etc.) have to change so kids don't get confused. in my opinion, all the engines will match their CGI counterparts at some point in the future.

This is 100% correct; unless of course we, the consumers, continue to voice our opinions on how we think the model should be. Belive it or not, our opinions and criticisms are somewhat acknowledge and taken into consideration. We just have to speak up! Although certain requirements must be met to fit the criteria, which younger modelers don't always notice such as faces and footplates and whatnot.
