It's just Douglas with the body removed.

The chassis for Duck will most likely be the same as that used for Donald and Douglas's, since the models seemed to be using the same type from Series 2. I think the wheels are a bit smaller than the Twins on Duck's chassis.

Thank you Bachmann!! Please use his original face from season 2!!! It's just a unique look, and I'd hate for it to be forgotten.

Seeing that the company that's making the CG atm is apparently losing the rights to animate the show, back to the originals I say!!

If that happened, I'd actually make time to watch the show again, but alas, it will not come to pass...the animation of the show is simply moving production house:

The Bachmann Duck model is something I'll definitely make time for, though! Can't wait for some pre-release photos!

Well, Arc's computer graphics are quite good, so will be cool to see what they come up with. Their ability to design stuff is quite amazing, so maybe we'll start seeing some of the old style faces making an appearance and they'll actually look like they're talking properly (Nitrogen Studios just couldn't capture a laugh properly!)

Though, speaking of recent episodes, the latest one I saw was "Percy and The Calliope". There was no rhyming!!! and at the end of the episdoe, the callipoe (ogran) played the ORIGINAL Thomas theme!! I was almost in tears. Perhaps Thomas is finally going to get better after so many terrible episodes. *fingers crossed*

Yes, even though everything is just being transferred, maybe they will add their own style.

I really hope we'll see some of the original characters return to the screen, I'm not really a big fan of all these new Thomas characters, especially when they only get one episode and aren't never seen again.

What ever happened to Sidney?  I've not seen him in any of the new episodes since his tiny appearance in Day of the Diesels..

[Calebtrain]

It said on the SiF blog it will be cheaper to do it so maybe we will see some old friends!  Where did Hank, and Flora, and Billy go? (Not that I'm a fan of them, I'm just pointing it out.)

[therailwayinspector]

Oh yeah definately Sydney.
Come on HiT- he's my favourite character- his few seconds on screen were heart-moving. He was perfect. I'm going out to buy every bit of merchandise there is of him 'cause he was a character worth creating and is my absolute fave- forget Stepney who had episodes to himself and a backstory- Sydney's the guy.

WIAT 4get stepney how could u say that hes epic

[thomasj219]

Stepney is pretty popular with older fans, I love him have a model of him too. Wish BACHMANN made one though. (Unlikely)

[gwr duck]
