Blue Plastic Tracks

So there are 2 types of HiT packaging that i have seen. But i see this sort time to time as well. does anyone know what this is or is it just another version of blister packaging?
Many thanks - Tons

Just seems like another type of blister

That is a beautiful Skarloey for sure. I didn't know he came with a light blue coach like that but thats no surprise since I know very little about the series. Is this yours Tons?

no, he is not mine, but he is for sale...https://picclick.com/New-THOMAS-FRIENDS-Trackmaster-Railway-System-Motorized-254766789007.html

HiT Toy Company 2009 Big Friends packaging.

I don't think I have ever heard of the term "Big Friends" before

Direct from the Thomas Motorized Wiki, HiT Toy Company page:

"In the US, the engines and road vehicles were first released with half straight track or road pieces. ...... The engines had a light blue packaging with the character's name in a yellow rectangle, and a red strip with the logo in the corner. Two different styles of this packaging were made, one which is in a box with a hole on the side showing the engine's face, and another where both sides can be seen through a large amount of plastic. Tender engines or small engines with a car are known as "Big Friends", and small engines by themselves are known as "Little Friends".

I didn't know that

Thank you very much! Well that explains it.

Wait a minute. The article didn't say anything about the scenic landscape view behind the engine. I think you are talking about this

I have always like Sir Handles white wheels
