Peculiar Plarail Percy - TheDiamondDalek - 04-27-2021 In my recent purchase from Jauce I received this Plarail Percy, I noticed his face looks a little off from the normal one, for starters its painted and has a rim around it, the eyes also appear to be looking up slightly and I couldn't seem to find this variation when I googled to find it, anyone know what version of the Plarail Percy he is? Or if he came in a set, what set he belongs too? RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - Super - 04-27-2021 I always thought that the trains with the "rim" (flange) around the faces where the originals or one of the first versions but I am sure one of our Thomas experts knows the answer. RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - DuckGWR - 04-27-2021 Percy did not receive an updated separately molded face until the mid 2000s, not 2003 with the other engines. The painted face, white running board Percy was the standard Plarail Percy from 2003 through at least 2006, as far as I know it was finally switched when they ended production for the US. I believe every US Percy has a painted face as well, although Tomy's additional time in the UK and Australia means you can find plastic face ones there. I have an Australian plastic face Percy from 2008 RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - MuddyPoppins - 04-28-2021 Yes, it’s a first generation Tomy Percy, with the flanged white painted face. It looks like you have a rare “wonky” eyed version. Sometimes they just don’t come out right, and the eyes end up wonky. It definitely changes his expression too. Very nice. RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - Super - 04-28-2021 Lucky surprise for you Dalek. Thanks Muddy and Duck RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - TheDiamondDalek - 04-28-2021 @MuddyPoppins its rare you say? That's awesome! I didn't see that coming! Odd how when I was searching I never found this particular percy, guess I didn't look far enough and thanks Duck for the info! RE: Peculiar Plarail Percy - Destination Realization - 04-18-2024 Ok, so what I can gather, along with what muddy said happened in the factory, I could be why the Percy has the green white and white green, RARE 🤑🤑
