Who is a fan of Thomas &
Friends™, I like to watch Thomas &
Friends™ when I was young. How about you? Now you can join Thomas &
Friends™ on land, into the sea and out in space at Sunway Pyramid
Shopping Mall. Mattel Southeast Asia (Mattel) today
launched a new Thomas & Friends™ toy line in Malaysia, themed around
Thomas’ new Adventures beyond the Island of Sodor.
“In this digital age,
parents are faced with the challenge of finding alternative ways to
stimulate the healthy development of children in the crucial early
years. The new toy line brings back the fun of physical play, presenting
Thomas & Friends™ in new environments that encourage children to
broaden the scope of their imagination through the endless hours of fun
that physical play provides,” said Joanne Teng, Senior Brand Manager,
Mattel Southeast Asia.

Thomas & FriendsTM Adventures Storytelling Session |
Typically, you’ll spot Thomas & Friends™ in locations such as
Tidmouth Sheds, Knapford Station, Brendam Docks and Sodor Steamworks, to
name a few. This year, for the first time ever, everyone’s favourite
blue engine will journey to lands beyond the Island of Sodor, into the
sea and out in space. His exciting Adventures will be represented in a
new line of toys which is now available for sale at major toy retailers,
departmental stores and hypermarkets.
Thomas
& Friends™ has been a family favourite for decades. My sons love it and I also likes it, I saw the animation of Thomas
& Friends™ since I was young.
