Ten Cents (not with digits) was the presumed main character of TUGS, an ill fated series created by some crew members of Thomas & Friends in the late '80s. After TUGS ended, numerous models made for it went on to be used in T&F (including Big Mickey, the only one so far to be a character in both shows). It predates Theodore Tugboat and has more realistic character designs, not to mention darker and more serious plot themes.
The ERTL Ten Cents is about the same size as the Thomas characters. Only he and Sunshine were made.
