thomas and friends mini series

There have been talks on here recently about what's expected for the rest of the year and I'd like to offer some thoughts.

We've been quite fortunate to know a lot of releases for 2017 already through the Amazon listings and multi-packs containing more variants, and none of these ways have been through those eBay listings with unreleased items.

We seem to know all the DC Super Friends packs, the Power Rangers, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I suspect at New York Toy Fair, these will be publicly announced instead. It's also quite surprising how much of the 2017 blind bag series we know of, but I'm concerned for the next two series as I feel 2017/1-2 has been very small compared to previous years, and moreso excluding re-releases. I don't believe we'll see the full blind bag line-up at New York Toy Fair as we didn't last year and had to find out on some Japanese ad. It would be nice if we knew all the engines that are coming out in the blind bags from the get-go, but it seems we'll just wait for a poster as usual.

For those concerned that we'll see very little at New York Toy Fair, I think we'll definitely have new things to be excited about. The most likely prediction is another large playset, but we could see multiple sets, or a new pop-up set, or Launchers, or a completely new assortment of items similar to the Launchers. Even after Toy Fair, we saw special things like Glow in the Dark and the Pop-Up sets.

(By the way, with drewbenn's rumours list, all of them seem to be correct, but Tootsie Roll Thomas is just another name for Fruit Chews Thomas.)
