Review: We love James - My son loves it. Fits the player he already had. Very strong too. Fun fun fun times. No assembly required just batteries which are very easy to change.
Review: Spending and Red, that's James! - The reboot "All Engines Go" has brought with surprsies a plenty, but thankfully it has brought us some quality merch. James looks practically spot-on to how he looks on screen. His bright red paint gleams in the sunlight, and his yellow stripes are neatly applied. His face is 2D save his nose, and has a jovial smile printed on. He's heavy before you put in the batteries, meaning he's a strong puller. He uses the same motorized chassis unit as the other new engines, which takes 2 AA batteries and has the new, long red switch. He can haul an impressive load on the grey track, but I bet those toothed drive wheels help quite a bit too! James here is longer than Thomas, Percy, Nia, and the others, but still takes curves fine. My only real issue is the tender, which looks fine from most angles, but has strange gaps in the front and back when viewed from the top. Perhaps an issue with production, or a render error they overlooked? The tender coupling is also quite long, but it isn't an issue when taking curves or hills. It should be noted that the new style engines do not clear some tunnels or bridges, so bear that in mind when running this lad as well. Don't want any scuffs on his jet black funnel! Regardless, he performs well, looks really splendid as James should, and comes highly recommend from this Thomas fan.
