was scrolling carousell the other day and i believe i found where this thing originates from as it has the same "Huang He" logo, it also uses a promotional Tomix photo with Annie's name editted out. Unfortunately the seller lost the set, still really cool to see though!
A few months ago, I found this peculiar bootleg TOMY Plarail Thomas while browsing a thrift store. Aside from the face, this knockoff is quite accurate to the real thing, and the quality of the plastic feels more or less the same as the original. More info below:
