Title: good toy with some flaws
Review: My son (age 3) couldn't wait to get cranky for Christmas, and he loves it! I have to admit that the magnet is very strong, my son can string Annie and Clarabel together and Cranky can hold them both up!My biggest complaint is that it should be attached to a small piece of track like many of the other Thomas additions are. When my son turns the crank, if he doesn't hold cranky down with his other hand, the whole thing topples over. If it had a wider base and was attached to the track, then it would be sturdier. Also, my son wants to put Cranky right next to the track! But Cranky works best if he is about 3 inches away from the track, then the magnet falls right directly over the trains on the track and can lift magnetic cargo up, so my son gets frustrated because the magnet does not fall over the trains. If Cranky were attached to track the way I suggest, then children would not be able to put him too close to the track.
Is the review positive or negative?
