Chinese knockoff "Talk n Action"

MrKirby48

Hi! FabiCrafter48 here (formerly known as MrKirby48). I wasn't active for many months but If don't worry if don't know who I am.

OK, Probably all of you have seen the knockoff Talk n Action Thomas set made by the company LCF (same company that made other knockoff TOMY/Trackmaster sets), which has little to no information about it. Nobody knows if this toy plays generic train sounds, music or actual Thomas voicelines!

But recently we found a even rarer set!

This crazy knockoff under the name "Thomas Extended Family" (Note: this may be a inaccurate translation) [font=rubik, helvetica, arial, sans-serif]家庭[/font]has a very accurate Tomica World style box and a more accurate Annie coach. Thomas seems wasn't changed at all compared to the LCF Thomas. Source: https://club.1688.com/threadview/47478938.html

And now the question is, This toy has a unique soundchip of Thomas voicelines in chinese!? God knows...

I updated the page with new info, found a higher resolution imageof the box, Talk n Action Magic Rail set factory number is "NO.2277-6" (This could be helpful) and I think this a new image! found at http://www.1688.com/cluster/36806279701.html which sadly it only redirects to a 404 page.

Almost forgot to post this site with a list of various Player World Go Go Go sets http://china.makepolo.com/product-detail/100175970847.html

I think I'm going crazy with this theory
"ABC" is a Youtube channel created on February 11th 2011, his content is mainly showcase of toys (including Thomas toys) taken from other sites (TaoBao, Youku, etc)

https://youtu.be/eREni4WNQe0?si=CtQqv8jF3YEab-93
In this video showcase the LCF Thomas Big Loader set

And the landscape is quite familiar to this

That means we are a step close to find a video of this rare knockoff Talk n Action set? Maybe rarer than some official toys? Hahaha.

What do you think?

MrKirby48

Luckily for us the TaoBao shop seen in the video is still available! https://shop57129350.taobao.com/
Sadly an account is required to see the listing, in the main page I was able to see knock-off TOMY track, knock-off Plarail bullet trains and "SouthWard" rolling stock. If someone has a TaoBao account and tell me if there's LCF Thomas sets (including Talk n Action Magic Rail set) listed on the shop I' will be very grateful 🙂

I’ll try, but is TaoBao safe?

If you don't mind the Chinese goverment owning your information then you can try it

Uhh. I without a vpn might skip on that one 😃 sorry!
But I have a VPN so I take that back 😃

MrKirby48

That's great!
Also you should look for other Plarail rip-offs if you somehow access the log-in wall.

I’m aiming for the big Set with the bridge! It looks very cool!
Hmmm, I should check for the lead quantities lol

The Southward container cars in that photo are excellent. They can't be called 'rip-offs' because they are originals, not a copy of any Tomy / Trackmaster equivalent.

Yes, my bad, I should called knock-off instead. The only which is a rip-off is the green coach as is a repaint of the existing branchline coaches.

Destination Realization

Hmmm, Look at the Green Coach, Reminds anyone of any Thomas Coach?
That’s right, I mean the Narrow Gauge Coaches!

MrKirby48

It reminds me the Season 1 branchline coaches, also known as Old coaches.

Destination Realization

Those are essentially Emily’s Coaches.
