Bachmann Oliver?

Since Duck was based on his model version, they should've done the same with Oliver.

Bachmann base their products over the most recent source material provided. Any item made from now on is going to follow their most recent CGI depiction. Previous products (expect for the original 2002 line-up, which were based upon their illustrations on promotional material) would've been made using reference photos of the models from the most recent series at the time. Even though Duck, Donald and Douglas had been seen with a CGI face in Season 12, the reference photos used would've been their model specifications complete with their facemasks pre-CGI. The source material a lot of companies use nowadays look like this.



Unfortunately that means there is an inconsistency across the range as items based off one era don't end up matching the other. Even though Bachmann could retool some models to bring them up to date, it feels like they'd be taking a step back, and honestly I'd expect many would actually be disappointed that the line-up was taken over by a character they already have rather than a new addition to the line. Some wouldn't want to pay a lot of money again and have two models of the same thing. While some of the rolling stock has received updates matching their appearance in CGI, it's far more easier changing a few little painted on illustrations than say, moulding a face for Henrietta. A representative from Bachmann did say a while ago that there were thoughts or plans to retool James, and understandably it is a 14 year old model, but any retooling would occur very rarely, and no one should hold their breath counting on it.
