I've heard of these. Not only do I have all three of the Thomas ones, but I also remember having one of the white "ugly duckling"s from before I discovered TTTE. The latter came in a set with colourful track, whereas the former were bought separately (as opposed to the set(s) they were available in). Before I had the Plarail type (Motor Road and Rail) Ultimate Set, I used this type of Percy because it worked on Tomy track. The only one I have at home right now is James, but the piece that is meant to prevent his motor from "escaping" is now missing. The eye mechanism still works, but not very well. Then again, Percy and Thomas have also had theirs fail even though they were never opened for a look inside (to see how they work). Normally, Tomy engineering is better than that. The only pullback Thomas happy meal toys I ever knew were Thomas and Diesel 10 from Subway's Magic Railroad range.
