thomas and friends mini series

Since they appeared on that Taobao shopping website which has also had other yet to be released MINIS on there, I would say that they are real. The AFL last year did a couple of special videos with Thomas last year, so I'm not surprised that they're keeping going and would collaborate more with them. I was thinking that there might be something at New York Toy Fair this month on them, but then I thought that primarily focuses on the US market. It seems like these will be the first MINIS to only get released in Australia because I can't imagine why other countries would get them. There's 18 teams in the league so it's hard to tell if all of them will get made, and how they'll be sold. I'd expect them to be sold in multi-packs, but they could be in blind bags similar to how the Tootsie theme is only found in the US/Canada blind bags.

Thanks for the info! It’s nice to see the minis crossing over into more than just kids tv programs and superhero’s. Hopefuly Australian MINIS collectors will be seeing these soon. Maybe with 18 teams we’ll be seeing 2 x 9 packs? Keep us posted!
