 Did your child see the Thomas movie twelve times or more?May 14, 2002
By pammylamb
If he did, this toy will definately be worth the money. My son is now 4 1/2 and we are knee deep in a Thomas obsession. He actively plays with his engines on a daily basis, most particularly this one. Diesel 10 is evil and threatening with the claw he calls "pinchy." The only complaint I have about this toy is that the claw doesn't open. However, I'm sure there would be safety issues with something that small, so it is understandable. But if your child enjoys acting out the Thomas stories, this is a great buy.

 Claw is disappointingDec 29, 2003
The claw is the main attraction of Diesel 10. In this toy it only slides forward and back - there is no up or down movement and the claw jaws do not open and close. This is a huge drawback because that's why the kids love Diesel 10. My 3 year old plays with it, but not to the extent he would be if it could do more. Remember, this toy is only a few inches long. It fit the track system, but I think my son would have been happier with a different character - it was VERY anticlimactic to have a non-functioning claw.

 I've Got To Agree On the ClawJan 20, 2005
By Thoms-Mom
We also have a Thomas fanatic in our home and while we've been watching all the video/dvd's for months, I held out on the movie because someone told me it was terrible. (PS: It's pretty terrible, but your Thomas fan will love it so be prepared to watch it 100's of times ughh). Where was I, oh yeah...my son LOVES the Thomas movie and LOVES Diesel and Lady so I ordered both for his birthday. He was so excited when he opened his present and realized it was Diesel, however that quickly turned to concern when the first thing out of his mouth was "Mom, he's broken, the claw doesn't bite or move up and down".
I don't know why LC designed Diesel this way since the fact that Diesel's claw can move up and down and bite is such a HUGE part of the Thomas movie. Regardless my son took him quickly to the Island of Sodor (his train table) and played with him for the rest of the night. He wouldn't trade Diesel in for anything, but Diesel won't get 5 stars because I think his designer made a boo-boo by not making him more true to his character in the movie.
Diesel (and Lady) is still an important edition to your train set though if your little one is a fan of the Thomas movie.

Diesel 10's Pinchy is disappointingAug 11, 2003
The kids were excited to get Diesel 10, but Pinchy only slides back and forth. In Thomas and the Magic Railroad movie, Pinchy moves up and down and opens and closes. It would not be safe for a toy to open and close to actually "pinch," but it should move more realistically. I am surprised, however, that the kids have not cracked off Pinchy (though it is slightly bent), since it doesn't move up and down, so it is quite durable.
Wicked Diesel 10Dec 23, 2011

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1D6DBPN4M4VYI My 3 year old son got to sit with 3 Santas this year, and when each one asked what he wanted for Christmas, he said, "Diesel 10!" That's all we've heard for the last four months or so since he saw Day of the Diesels. In Day of the Diesels, which he has probably watched 50 times by now, Diesel 10 is very smarmy. He pretends to be Percy's friend to trick Percy into helping the diesels, who need a new Diesel Works. In the end, Thomas and friends stop Diesel 10 and a very cross Sir Topham Hatt comes along to tell Diesel 10 that he's an engine on HIS railroad (and he's in trouble!). He ends up getting what he wants though - a new Diesel Works is built after some sparks from his pinching claw cause the old Diesel Works to be gutted by fire.
But he's different from the very wicked Diesel 10 in Magic Railroad. In that, he's a wise-cracking, claw-pinching, nasty diesel engine! He calls his claw "Pinchy" and even talks to it - when chasing Thomas and Lady he says, "Pinchy, duck!" when he goes in a tunnel. Also during that chase, he cracks, "Pinchy is hungry! I like my food STEAMED!" (as in steam engine like Thomas). He cracks me up. But he is on the malicious side in Magic Railroad and has much better henchmen.
Diesel 10's facial expression on this wooden engine is great. He's large and solid, with a plastic pinchy. Pinchy doesn't open or shut and only moves forward and backwards, not up. My son's favorite Diesel 10 sequence is the chase that I mentioned, where Lady and Thomas make it across a bridge, but then a section of the bridge collapses, leaving dangling track. Diesel 10 starts to fall through, but catches on to one of the wooden ties on the tracks with Pinchy. The tie cracks and Diesel 10 falls and falls...and lands on a river barge (and cracks a joke about taking a cruise). My son can do a lot of it, but I wish Pinchy were just a little more mobile so that he could really have some fun.
All in all, he's a fun bad guy and a good foil for Thomas.
