My First Thomas

My First Thomas and Friends is a range of chunky plastic toys based on Thomas the Tank Engine and Friends. They are produced by British toy company, Golden Bear Toys.

The range was first released around 1994 and was advertised for young infants who enjoyed the series. The models were safe for younger fans to play with.

The range was briefly available in America, distributed by TOMY. The toys are still available in many good retail toy shops all around the UK, and, despite speculation that perhaps the range has discontinued, after the absence of three years without new products, brand new models have started to appear on Amazon.
