What's poor Henrietta doing in that combination? And what's that on her roof?

Tomy acquired the rights thomas that mattel desperately wanted, Mattel responded by purchasing hit entertainment as a whole for 176million or so dollars. Still had to provide the contracted rights to tomy and still continues today.

Not so much a shocker as the stuff of nightmares. This could be a caption competition. What is this poor unfortunate kid saying to the loving relative who knitted this for him?

Looks like they had to repaint the whole face for whatever reason. I initially thought they made a cast of it because of the texture, but it must be the paint they used. If I were them, I would surely use my ol' cotton bud handle trick for the pupils, redo the eyebrows and/or apply gloss to the new paint. Apart from that, this is nowhere near as bad as the real "shockers" on here.

Something very fishy going on here:
One used Trackmaster Oliver on eBay UK, 16 bids, currently £1,557 (approx US$2,200).
RE: Online Selling Shockers - GreatGordonFan - 05-20-2021
@Chrisjo, this is clearly a joke listing, after all none of the bidders are identified.
RE: Online Selling Shockers - Viktor - 05-20-2021
Why do people think that Oliver is rare? If he was, then almost no one would sell him on EBay.
