Does look good! I have to admit it's something I've been contemplating doing myself to use in my filming- couldn't share the measurements per chance could you?

Wishful thinking, Diesel was planned in advance last year hence why he was releases so quick, Duck wasn't so most likely only a early prototype is complete.

Where did that story come from?
Most models are usually planned years in advance- not an on the spot 'hey lets do model x this year!'

The blog post they've put up is a bit late- the announcements for the year were made ages ago, so we know what's coming.

Anyway, I'm fairly confident that we shall see Duck by the end of the year, it's not likely that we'll be made to wait too long for him.

Stunned. Absolutely stunned!
Beautifully done there- well done to you.

I believe that van is a Dapol Fruit Van:

I believe Hattons ship to the states but postage will be high I think...
They're nice vans though I must say.

Alternately, eBay might have a few?

As usual mate, a great job. I do love Arthur and I think you've captured him perfectly here.

Personally, my preference is the toothy grin- makes him seem more friendly and lively IMO.
However, either are good, I'd just prefer something different to that of the Hornby model.

I doubt the choice of face would hinder peoples thoughts on buying him (unless its a certain character who is now made to like kittens and flowers instead being ruthless and sneaky... )

I have full confidence in Bachmann doing another fantastic job on Duck.

WIAT 4get stepney how could u say that hes epic

Sarcasm my friend It's meant as a bit of a growl at the people who pass pointless characters like Sydney to production, simply for merchandise.

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.

He may do, but the Wiki is just one/a few peoples own opinions, I doubt it as it has been revealled on SiF that it's a non-Awdry character....

Yes I thought that, but I'm almost positive the character returning is Duke, so no worries.

According to my friend from the forums, it's not an Awdry created character that is returning.

My current speculations are these:

Harvey
Murdoch
Dennis -Norman is his twin, so it would make sense...

That's perfect for Duck I think. I'd be happy with that one, but if they made him with the one Hornby based theirs on, I wouldn't mind. Would be my preference though- the one above makes him look much more cheery.

As will many more I'm sure...
*Shiny Shiny!*

YouTube keeps trying to fix what isn't broken, and therefore ruins what they have that is good. It's more like Facebook now! If I want facebook, I'll get facebook, which I already have. I dont need it in two places YouTube, be your own thing! GAAAAH!
