TnA (talk n action) Thomas... With a snow plow?

Luckily, I found one listing that did have a small photo showing the content list and not just the "main" portion of the back (beyond the red area):



It still insists that he actually came with the banner. TOMY doesn't sound like a company that would knowingly present a false statement regarding an item's existence as being 100% true, unless said item was cancelled or only a few of it were made. However, literally no photos of the actual set ever showed a sign of the banner (not even a piece left from cutting or peeling off), as if it's totally absent from any released copies:



I could only speculate that it may have been a poorly made/applied sticker that had always fallen off even inside the box (unlikely for TOMY, but I can't think of any other reason). Surely at least some owners have found it lying at the bottom but chose not to use it. Had they ever provided replacement ones (like LEGO parts), we could've had some indication of its material and attachment method. Until then, the cut out one I made from the close up should suffice.
