Pros: It is Thomas.
Cons: Not enough bubbles and light up figured did not work long.
The Bottom Line: I would skip this even though my son enjoyed the light up toy. It did not last long and the bubbles were not very plentiful.

GENERAL BUBBLE BATH EXPERIENCES:
My husband took over the job of bathing the children most nights about 2 1/2 years ago. He really likes having a tub filled with bubbles. The children like playing in the bubbles and he feels they are cleaner and he doesn't have to give them too much of real scrubbing. Over this time we have used a variety of different bubble baths.
WHY I BOUGHT THIS:
I was out shopping at the Wegman's Grocery store when I came across this bubble bath. I don't shop there that often as it is a good 20 minute ride from my home and I have several grocery stores that are much closer to me.
I had not seen this any where else and I knew my son would really like light up Thomas. He is a huge Thomas fan. Luckily they also had a light up My Little Pony Bubble bath as well, so I would have something for my daughter.
WHAT IT COST:
The display was a little confusing and I was trying to hurry up. It looked as if the bubble baths were all the same price of $2.99. Actually the ones with the light up figures were priced at $4.29. I did not realize this until I returned to the store about a week later.
WHAT YOU GET:
Epinions has this as a 16 ounce size, but actually the container is just 13.5 fluid ounces or 399 ML. The Thomas on the top is made of plastic with white bubbles on the bottom.
Here are the ingredients: Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, Lauryl Glucoside, Sodium Chloride,Glycol Stearate, Fragrance, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Disodium EDTA, Citric Acid, PEG-150 Distearate, Hydrolized Silk, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Protein, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Powder, Retinol, Tocopherel.
OUR EXPERIENCE:
According to the instructions, you need to pour several capfuls under warm, fast running water as the rub fills. You can use just one capful, but this does not make a lot of suds as compared to other bubble baths we have use. I always have to start the bath and I had to fill the whole large capful just to get a reasonable amount of suds in the bath tub. The bubble disappated quickly and were nearly all gone by the time my children were ready to come out of the tub.
As for Thomas, he did light up the first night. He actually has an inner glow in many different colors. My son loved it. The problem is that that was it. My daughter's pony continued to work, but Thomas did not light up again.
That is why I ended up going back a week later to get another bottle. The second Thomas lasted about three nights and then would not work. My son still liked playing with Thomas so he kept him in the bath tub anyway. A few nights later while I was getting ready to fill the tub I could see this strange glow. It was the Thomas light up figure. This time it was nice and bright so I immediately called my son to come and see. He watched Thomas with the changing light for a few minutes. It was time to really get the bath started so I let him take Thomas out and have him in his room. After a few minutes the Thomas stoppped working again. We would sometimes get a dim lights from this about two weeks after we bought it, but then it just stopped working.
OVERALL IMPRESSIONS:
I had to use about three times the amount of bubble bath just to take the same amount of bubbles that my children were used to seeing in their tub. The scent was fine, but not very strong. The light up figure did not work very long, so overall I was disappointed with this purchase.
