This article is about the toy line. You may be looking for the app.

Thomas & Friends Adventures is a toy range manufactured by Fisher-Price. It was first released in December 2016 replacing the Take-n-Play range. The range features products from the Collectible Railway range, such as vehicles with clip connectors, and existing play sets re-released in a grey track system with redesigned connections. For a short period, Adapter Packs could be ordered directly from Mattel to enable compatibility with Take-n-Play products. The range has packs and sets which focus on fantasy themes such as astronauts or pirates.

The Adventures range was discontinued at the end of 2018 and redesigned as the TrackMaster Push Along range.

Trivia

  • Adventures models for Iron Bert, Rajiv and Rebecca were planned to be released in late December 2018/2019, but were cancelled.
    • The tweet that referenced Adventures Rebecca may have simply been referring to the Trackmaster Push Along model, just with the wrong name. Something similar happened when they said a Trackmaster Hong Mei was on the way when they meant the push along.
  • Adapters to connect Adventures track and trains to those of Take-n-Play were available directly from Fisher-Price.
  • Characters that were already released in Collectable Railway that were Ben, Bash, Iron Bert, Mike and Hector were never released in Adventures.
  • Some of the tender engine's prototypes are depicted with Fowler tenders, when the actual model has the correct tender body. This excludes Henry.
  • Many of the tender engines have the red footplate (chocolate for Emily or either colour for each engine) above their wheels, much like their Take-n-Play predecessors and unlike their Collectible Railway models which had the tender moulded onto the footplates themselves, which are the same colour as the tender itself.
  • Toby's bufferbeam and buffers are grey like his cowcatcher.
  • Gina has her nameplate only on her right side.
  • Trevor's wheels are grey instead of red, much like his Take Along predecessor.
  • Hugo's wheels are black instead of blue.
    • His propeller also has three blades instead of four.
  • Diesel's face is printed on, much like the ones on the Minis toy range.
  • Rosie is painted in her original lavender livery instead of her red one from the twenty-first series onwards.
  • In the Monster Maker Train Pack prototype, Gator is seen wearing a duplicate middle piece from Max.
  • The Talking Space Mission Thomas' space helmet is the same as the Stanley in Space model's helmet.
  • Space Mission Thomas, Dino Discovery James, Pirate Quest Diesel and Shark Escape Salty are all US, AUS and UK-exclusives.
  • The talking engine models all use their moulds from the pre-2014 era of Take-n-Play, though their chassis are the same as their normal Adventures models.
  • Some rolling stock's coupling hooks are black and do not rotate, however, the rolling stock can still be coupled on the engines either way via the engines ability to rotate their hooks.
  • The coupling hooks are repurposed from the Hot Wheels Rapid Transit line, also from Mattel.
  • Kevin is shown to have a front coupling and rail wheels, inaccurately depicting him as a railway vehicle much like his 2014-2016 Take-n-Play predecessor.
  • The prototype Light-Up Racer engines only have a front light, which look similar to their Take-n-Play predecessors, while the produced models just have a front coupling hook.
  • The Shark Escape Track Pack and Space Mission Track Pack are re-themed variants of the Bridges and Bends Track Pack and the Curves and Straights Track Pack respectively.
  • Oliver the Excavator is incorrectly labelled as a crane.
  • Theo is missing his name plates and he has no front coupling hook. This is because his face is too low to accommodate one.
    • His promo also depicts him without his gear-spokes on his largest gear.
  • Merlin's running board is re-used from Henry's, his chassis also runs too low and scrapes against the track.
  • On the 'Dino Discovery' set box artwork, Luke has Thomas' face.
  • Jack and Theo's coupling hooks are abnormally high.
  • Shane's prototype is missing his front coupling hook.
  • The 'Charlie's Day at the Quarry' play set lists Thomas on the blurb instead of Charlie.
  • Lexi's final model has a black cowcatcher instead of a gold one.
  • Unlike most engines, Hiro, Theo, Frankie and Hong-Mei have detailed lamps.
  • The dinosaur head that comes with Dino Discovery James was originally moulded to fit Thomas.
  • Nia's prototype is depicted with four boiler bands, while her final model includes eight.
  • Hong-Mei's smoke box is not moulded properly to accommodate her lower sand box, thus leaving a noticeable gap between the two.
    • She was also one of the final characters made before the Push Along redesign.
  • Salty's normal talking model has his seventh series horn sound.
  • The Diamond Run Set appeared in a Ronald McDonald house advert.
  • The Thomas' Favourite Friends multipack lists Dash instead of Butch.
