Changing of the Faces:

Powerful Gordon Mike · Powerful Gordon Mike 02-14-2015, 11:08 PM Member

Hello all, I was wondering if someone who had the knowledge and access to Trackmaster, Plarail or Tomy Trains, could do a pictorial/History of a given character from a given maker's line. It doesn't have to be complicated, keep it simple. Everyone notices the faces of the engines, so start there.

Example:

Tomy Plarail Powerul Gordon 2001-2002 Add as much information you want to share here. And the same with the following Gordons.

Tomy Plarail Gordon 2014 Notice that the pupils are in the center of the eyes, thick upward pointing eye brows, and a larger smile as compared to the following Gordon.

Mattel Trackmaster Gordon ?-? CGI Face? I really don't have the knowledge base.

This would be a great post for someone like me, new to the subject and eager to learn more and have nowhere to turn. Oh yes if you start with Gordon that would suit me just fine.

Cheers, PGM

Didn't know there were that many faces for Gordon. Wonder how many faces Thomas had?

At least six. Four different happy faces Tomy, plarail, TM1, TM2, angry face (plarail) scared face (Tomy/plarail) that is all the faces I know of.

MP I started a new tread called Gordon's Facebook. Take a look at it. What you put down here is fantastic. Will you please start a Thomas' Facebook and give little nuggets of information about each face in your wonderful collection. PGM
