Zaini Thomas and Friends Chocolate Eggs

First written November 17, 2024

Seemingly from later 2017 to 2020 or so Zaini sold a series of chocolate eggs with randomly-distributed Thomas toys inside. Some of these toys were small erasers with pictures of Thomas characters on them, others were rubber clips depicting different trains, and, arguably the best, small rolling trains with sticker details, shown here. In total, it seems that Thomas, Henry, Percy, and James were made as erasers, Edward, James, Percy, Toby, Emily, and Rosie were released as rubber clips, and Thomas, Edward, Henry, Gordon, James, and Percy were released as trains.

Thomas

The little stickered Thomas. I'm pretty sure the original owner put the buffer beam stickers on upside-down, with the white section representing his running board instead hanging down.

Edward

Edward, with a cute face and nice stickers.

Henry

Henry, without separate tender and with number on the side of his cab instead. Gordon was similar.

Percy

Percy, who even has little cab windows - one missing here. A little cutout in one side reveals the Gullane licensing text.
