Downsizing - or maybe not.... R/C Galore!

Yes there is another variation of Thomas. (actually 2)
There is a 2006 HitToys flipface Thomas (smiling/surprised) that uses a baby blue controller.
And 2 variation of the standard face model:
2006 Hit w/painted deck.
2009 FP w/o painted deck.
Each of these uses a red controller that is identical to James', except it has a blue "gauges" sticker pannel decals on the sides along with Thomas' name, where as James decals are all red.

Are you saying the 2006 and 2009 are flip face? I knew of the flip face which uses the controller you describe that I believe came in the tidmuth sheds set. And then I knew of a 2006 regular R/C Thomas with normal blue remote ( shiny and smooth texture) then the 2009 with also had an all blue remote (rough/matte texture).
