Trivia

  • The packaging for the tugboats was designed to be reusable to store the characters.
  • The packaging contained one of two different catalogs.
  • Chester's first two prototypes were marketed as "Charlotte the Container Ship" and painted in a different livery.
  • The Dispatcher and Benjamin are the only characters released to not have magnets.
  • The tugboats and the Dispatcher have moving eyes.
  • All the items have a sticker with a copyright date of "1989", this is an error as that is the year a trademark was put for the name "Theodore Tugboat" by Andrew Cochran.
  • Clayton's model was reused from a sliding container crane piece made by Brio.
