thomas and friends mini series

Confirmed, no names under TMNT set. Hopefully it's not the new trend.

Oof. It's already tough to identify some of the engines, the names on the bottom were a big help.

Also, @Drewbenn, do you think the no-eyeball Thomas was a defect, or actual release? Just wondering if you have reports of more than one anywhere? If it was a defect, I may have to hunt another one and wipe the eyeballs with paint thinner myself. I hate looking at an unchecked checkbox on ixbyix.

Both mikedaws and yeahright reported that the eyeballs seem to depend on region, and one (different?) person left feedback on my site asking for a no-eyeballs variant. That's enough for me, at least for now (I haven't seen either: I just report on what other people have found).

Oh, mikedaws I added that original picture of yours into my Variants section, and roberte I used your picture of Shazaam!'s 'Arry vs. Bert. I have been assuming that anything posted on this board is fair game for me to use, but please let me know if you don't want me using your pictures and I'll remove them right away.

P.S. as mikedaws has shared, there are different names on the bottom for eyeballs ("52BM Thomas") vs. no-eyeballs ("BTM Thomas"). That, along with the region differences, is what makes me guess it's a legit variant as opposed to a factory error.
