it appears to be a custom repaint of a driver figure

bugger repainting something that small and fiddly! LOL

And from everything I have seen thus far Muddy's Top 3 rarest list is spot on!

I would like to update this thread...Since its posting, Monty has been located and does exist. Also many T'nA Gordons and Henrys have also begun to surface, as have many Donald and Douglas snow plow sets, though no Alfies have been seen at auction in over a year now, while Thumper has also been seen only a few times...AND a front hook Splatter has been ID'ed.
I am rating these based solely on my own personal experiences over the last six years of collecting, and acquired information and observations of the auction markets, and of other collections.
So I am re-ranking these rarest Thomas Characters as:
1.) Monty (non-motorized) *8
2.) Alfie *0
3.) Thumper (non-motorized) *4
4.) T'nA Henry/T'nA Gordon (tie) *5 each
5.) Front hook Splatter (non-motorized) *1

(*)numbers I have seen in the last year.

Update???

That's a good idea Tharazero!!
It has been over a year since this has been updated...
While quite a bit has changed, other things have remained the same...

1. Gold Thomas (*2)**
2. Flip-face party flag RC Thomas (*1)**
3. Blushing Thomas (*1)**
4. Alfie (*0)<<<
5. D-10/Lady chase set (*2)**
6. American T'nA James (*3)**
7. Thumper (*3)
8. D&D snow plow set (*4)
9. Monty (*5)
10. Front hook Splatter (*5)
(*) These are the updated numbers I have seen strictly in the last year of 2016- to present)
(**) Added since 2016

Though the T'nA Gordon and Henry are still considered rare, I have seen too many to keep them on this list.
>>> NO Alfie's have been seen at auction for well over 2 years now!!

Yeah, at a very low price as well, it might be fake
