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.
Play nice & have fun!!
