My First Thomas

My First Thomas and Friends is a range of chunky plastic toys for young infants based on Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. They were produced by Golden Bear Toys for the UK since 1996, and were distributed by Tomy in the US and Japan. The vehicles use chunky, simplistic designs, and the track system first consisted of coloured plastic pieces. The track was later replaced by playmats with illustrations. The range was discontinued in 2010.

Talking/Interactive characters
The talking versions of the "My First" models were first released in 2000. The models are more complex than the basic ones: their eyes move and they speak familiar phrases from the original stock narrations of Ringo Starr and Michael Angelis. Eleven of the models have never been released in the normal range. The interactive versions had the ability to speak to each other when you make them face each other.

Trivia

 * The sound test function that can be activated (when holding down the button, putting one battery back in the engine, and then letting go of the button) on the original engines from 2000 included the names of characters that were not released in the talking range (like Toby, Bill, Ben, Diesel, Terence, Henry, Gordon, etc), nor regular range (Sir Handel, Duncan).
 * Lady is the only talking engine from the interactive range to not be rereleased in the later non-interactive talking range.

 * Cranky is painted blue.
 * Duck and Oliver are missing their GWR lettering.
