Yeah, I saw that aswell! It's a shame it doesn't come with Annie, but there probably is one on Jauce.com
Also found a metallic Thomas with Annie and Clarabel (also metellic)! http://www.jauce.com/auction/t463933535

I have seen these going for around 600yen although I don't know if thats an Annie or Clarabel or if there is both now.

to my knowledge, only one of the pair has been released. its a kool piece, but i wouldnt pay that much for it.
george, the metallic set is gorgeous but prone to smudges. my set was brand new, never been opened and clarabel has a blemish, straight out of the box. its popular with kids though, they love the shiny-ness.

Thanks Sunhuntin, I didn't know the metallic left smudges and fingerprints!
I agree with you about the clear Clarabel, bit too pricy, but definitely a cool item! 
RE: Clear Clarabel - sunhuntin - 02-17-2016
i think fingerprints etc would show up well. im the only one that handles mine, and i always hold the lower body, not the metallic part, and when its being taken to shows i wrap each piece in bubble wrap. every other "lesser" engine just gets tossed gently in my backpack.
basically, because of the metallic, i treat it like an HO scale engine... TLC, and it lives in an acrylic case, not the drawers everything else goes in.
