Tomy acquired the rights thomas that mattel desperately wanted, Mattel responded by purchasing hit entertainment as a whole for 176million or so dollars. Still had to provide the contracted rights to tomy and still continues today.

eBay listing, this is the headline photo:

But this is the actual sale item. Poor Hector, what has happened to you? :

Looks like they had to repaint the whole face for whatever reason. I initially thought they made a cast of it because of the texture, but it must be the paint they used. If I were them, I would surely use my ol' cotton bud handle trick for the pupils, redo the eyebrows and/or apply gloss to the new paint. Apart from that, this is nowhere near as bad as the real "shockers" on here.

Something very fishy going on here:

One used Trackmaster Oliver on eBay UK, 16 bids, currently £1,557 (approx US$2,200).

@Chrisjo, this is clearly a joke listing, after all none of the bidders are identified.

Why do people think that Oliver is rare? If he was, then almost no one would sell him on EBay.
