"Thomas & Friends" is a British children's television series that premiered in 1984. Initially animated using low-cost 1:32 scale physical models, it tells the adventure stories of anthropomorphic trains on the fictional island of Sodor. This "Thomas & Friends Waiting" series presents the characters from the show in adorable proportions, depicting them looking a bit dejected and squatting (?) on the ground, waiting. The collection includes four types: everyone's good friend Thomas, Thomas's best friend Percy, the professional and serious controller Sir Topham Hatt, and the kind-hearted helicopter Harold. Even Sir Topham Hatt's furrowed brow looks super cute! Toy enthusiasts who love Thomas & Friends shouldn't miss out!
