Welcome! 
I’ve seen these a few times. Apparently they were a “not for sale” release and only Thomas and Clarabel were given their own box like this. Thomas is the same as the 2010 metallic Thomas from the Toys R Us Tidmouth Sheds set and I think Clarabel is the same as the one from the 60th Anniversary release. I’m not sure how they could be obtained, but my guess is that they were some sort of giveaway. They don’t appear to be that hard to find nowadays though so I would think quite a few were available, definitely more so than the top 4 rarest Thomases. Still, pretty obscure nonetheless and a great topic to discuss. Hopefully some of our other members could chime in, as this is a topic I myself have been trying to figure out for some time.
