Rustin Dustin Review - Zany Trains

Meet Dustin, the latest character to join the Zany Trains cast of characters! He works at the scrap yard, and is driven by mice. He's a customizable character made from pieces compatible with Lego and other plastic brick brands. What sets him apart is the ability to change him up and make something of your own.
I got to meet Zack (the creator of Zany Trains) a few times at the Greenberg Train Show in Edison NJ. There's definitely a lot of creativity and passion behind his original characters and storylines, especially at a time where the Thomas Brand is in a bit of an odd spot right now. Or maybe it isn't. I don't know! I give some of my opinions of the current state of the franchise as some context in this review.

For transparency's sake, I was not paid to make this video or to endorse Zany Trains. All thoughts are my own! However, Zack was kind enough to send me samples of the characters to use in this video.

Wooden Railway and LEGO is a match made in Heaven, I tell you.

I love that you pointed out that a young child should built a Zany Train with a parent. It's really wholesome 😊

2:23 BIG BIRD SPOTTED But seriously, a big thumbs up to Zany Trains for coming up with a really clever idea with a whole lot of potential for brainstorming customers, and I hope that they continue to grow and expand.

That opening shot is making me hungry 😋. I really do like the design for Dustin. You always got to appreciate the passion and creativity that goes into making these custom characters. You can really tell that Wooden Railway and Lego blend well together. Also the fact that he's interchangeable into making him unique and something of your own is great creative thinking and innovation. Thanks for sharing with us Zany's (Zack's) amazing creation Matt ^^.

Sure was nice of you to promote and support zany trains with this review. And I’m glad I could provide footage for this video. No rush on giving those updates. I understand that you’re busy. It happens to all of us. If I may ask though, how’s the next season 3 episode coming along? And do you know what the next season 0 episode will be? That’s all I have to say for now. Have a great weekend!

I'll be honest zany trains is something that really doesn't interest me mainly because of the fact the characters and designs look weird even though that's what it's supposed to be. But I will say this, they made that camera car that I really want to get my hands on, and while Ruston Dustin like all the other characters looks weird the fact that Wooden Railway and Lego is definitely compatible now I can definitely expect some crazy things with this for your series moving forward. Quite a lovely little review Matt!

Thi slooks like an amazing custom. Just think about Thomas Wooden Railway and Legos combined together. Instead of humans driving Dustin. Its mice. Great review and also PS I just uploaded my second episode of my fanmade series.

Excellent video. I don't think Zany Trains are for me, but I'm glad it's keeping the Wooden Railway spirit alive.

Zany Trains does what Mattel don't; bring us the best of both worlds; Wooden Railway and LEGO. And yes, there was an actual engine named Dustin in Thomas and Friends; he was book-exclusive character who appeared in two books; "Dustin Comes in First" and "Dustin and the Sodor Storm Team". And I gotta agree, Mattel seems to be sending Thomas to the scrapyard by decreasing both the quality and the quantity of his merchandise lines. Even when they brought back Thomas Wooden Railway in 2022, they barely did anything new with it in the following years. If I were running that line, I'd have had new models of characters like Duck, Donald, Douglas, Oliver and Toad released in early 2023.

The sentiment reigns true, a lot of love and thought were put into these trains and I think the creator really does care. I hope Zany Trains prospers. Great review!

Dustin makes me feel good Been meaning to pick this up for a bit actually. This is honestly a really fun concept for a toy especially considering how many people in this community live to mix wooden railway and Lego for videos!

@kevinkeenan-2.1 3 ай бұрын

Legos and wooden trains merges, wow that’s amazing! 🤩 really hope they make more of those 🤩🤩❤.

The chassis is a really cool thing just to have in general, building your own wooden railway train using lego is something that will please a lot of people.

Rustin Dustin is pretty cool. I'm glad that none of the stickers are on more then one brick. It was nice of Zany Trains to send you him. Great job on this review! Hope you have a great day!

I bet you in particular loved this guy, I might pick him up myself, I love the idea of a wooden train I can take apart and put back together!

"Please know, I am fully aware that I am not the target demographic for preschool toys, but I will say I have not been impressed with a lot of the things Mattel has made for Thomas and Friends in recent years." Said everyone pretty much all the time.

Does Taylor-ham, egg, and cheese sandwich come with the train? That would really influence my decision!

We can just hope the Marc Forster movie will give the merch some justice. Personally Mattel should just send what Tomy has in Japan over to western countries and just age split OG Thomas merch and AEG merch so both can co-exist.

So would he appear in series?

@Enterprisingengine93 3 ай бұрын

I don’t think so. The style doesn’t really match the world of Sodor, but you never know. I could probably find a way 😂. There is a shapeshifter on Sodor after all.

@onetrackmind3558 3 ай бұрын

@@Enterprisingengine93 exactly my point. Of course you can change some things on him. For example since he has a square face maybe make him a diesel?

@trainboy7 3 ай бұрын

In my opinion, this is the only decent engine character in the ZanyTrains lineup. The others are just blocks of wood on wheels.

I’m a big fan of your work and why do you use voice actors for your series and what age range is your series for and what happened to the 2019 Thomas wooden railway live stream that was on your channel and what was the reason you do KZfaq and how long have you liked Thomas and friends

@Enterprisingengine93 2 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! 1) I like working with actors and I think the stories and performances are enhanced with individualized voices 2) I hope that both children and adults can enjoy my videos and stories. 3) I believe I took it down. I wasn’t happy work the camera quality from the weak WiFi! 4) KZfaq is amazing! Especially when I started. It’s so cool that you can make your own movies and interact with an audience, just like we are now 5) since I was 1 years old! My grandma bought me some brio trains and the rest was history
