RoomMates RMK1081GM Thomas and Friends Peel & Stick Giant Wall Decal

I bought this mural last year for our 3-year-old. I was able to easily apply it to the wall, and although I had to pick it back up and re-apply it a couple of times to get it straight, it never lost adhesion and never made a mark on the wall. I'm not sure I would describe it as a "Giant" mural, but it is a nice size and my son has loved it. It's beautiful, colorful, and has so much going on. We put his bed next to the wall and applied this onto the wall right beside him. He sits on the bed and talks and talks and talks about this mural. Now, my 1.5-year-old has discovered the mural, and he spends so much time on his brother's bed, talking about Thomas and the other engines. It has become one of out most useful tools in developing their vocabulary. A really great product.

The characters included are: Thomas, Bertie, Sir Topham Hatt, Edward, Emily, Gordon, James, Percy, Cranky the Crane, Toby, Harold, Mavis, and a freight car or two. :) There are also bridges, tunnels, trees, several sheep (great for counting!), houses, and a station.

(1) only difference between this and a poster is that this is vinyl and sticks to a wall

This comes in 2 pieces which you'd think lining it together would be a breeze, we needed 2 set of hands and had to pull the top piece to stretch it out a little to line up.

My biggest grip the backing comes off in 1 giant sheet, instead of it being scored into sections. I had to do it myself to make it easier to stick on the wall and line up. Our walls are textured so it's great that this stuck on. It's flat texture so minor raised bumps.

We painted our walls a calming sea blue...the vinyl is clear and so on a sea blue doesn't show up as sharp/vibrant, but it still looks good. Our fault for not sticking it on a white wall.

It's nice that this thing is still sticky when you need to reposition it. Which we had to with the top piece a couple of times b/c you do have to overlap the 2 sheets to make it into 1 panel. If it was for MY room, I don't think I'd be too happy with it being in 2 pieces and that for the life of me I am about a mm off in lining up the photos. HOWEVER, for my son's room (he's 2), it's fine. I'll be surprised if he doesn't try to rip it off the wall soon. But for now, he gets excited when he see Thomas, he loves that it's there and it does tie his room together.

HOWEVER, If I had to choose between this or the Thomas Border (sticker) I'd go with the border it's way cuter and doesn't have an issue showing up on my blue wall.

I gave this item 4 stars because the manufacturer should have made this item in one piece. There is a bottom piece and a top piece that had to be lined up exactly with the bottom piece in order for the mural to look right. I found it difficult for only one person to apply. After going through the trouble of apply the bottom part evenly onto the wall, I had to go through even more trouble of lining up the top piece(Plus the fact that the material stretched which made it hard to line up). I think it would have been easier to go through the trouble of lining up one big piece. The quality is good, thick material.

My two year old loves to stand in front of the mural and tell me what every object is. It is a great addition to his "train" room.

The day before Christmas I set up his bedroom with Thomas The Train stuff.

He is a typical little boy. Trains N Trucks! It was easy to put up as well.
