I have mixed feelings in this recent makeover given to Henrietta.
To get the worst out of the way, here is what I don't like. What I do not like is it ruins Henrietta's true characteristic. Even though she had a face in the railway series (only one illustration, which was published in 2007), the character Henrietta has always been noted to not have a face, which had been mentioned in various character bios about this character. This new addition to the character completely contradicts that which I am not to thrilled about. Another thing I do not like is the face design. The face that was picked for Henrietta looks terrible. If it was something similar to the faces on Annie and Clarabel, then I would warm up to a little more. But as the face looks, particularly the eyebrows, I don't think it looks good on Henrietta.
Now what do I like about this. Well I like that this could give us some promising development not only for Henrietta but also Toby as well. Out of the eight steam team members Toby seems to get the short end of the stick the most throughout the series. In season 17 he only spoke in one episode and that was it. Plus Andrew Brenners other favorite characters besides Bill and Ben are Toby and James. And seeing as how we got good episodes with Bill and Ben I trust Andrew Brenner will now give us a good Toby and Henrietta episode. And it seems like every episode starring Toby past season six has been either boring or just plain terrible. With how good we have seen the writing of the show in the past year, I think this could potentially mean we could get a good Toby episode! So if it means redemption for Toby and also some development for Henrietta then I am all for it.
I am sure I will warm up to this soon but as it is I have mixed feelings on this dramatic change given to this character. We will find out soon what is in store for these two characters.

You know I just read the first post and I heard sodor steam works ummmm yeah the thing is that if you really want that my suggestion is you build it your self because it would be a whole lot cheaper then waiting for a set from Bachmann even if they did make it(highly doubtful of that) they would more or less put it on the market for a good I don't know Maybe about 400 dollars in American dollars so quite literally you could build the whole thing from scratch. I know you are probably wondering why I say 400 is because the huge sliding thing (don't know what it is called) and the small turntable inside and if they do it they would have to make victor then here comes Narrow gauge thomas and Friends that is why they would not build it or if they did 400 easy. If anybody disagrees with me let me know please I would like to know

I must say CGI Oliver likes great from the given picture. If Oliver is made, I actually doubt he will have a CGI face considering what we have seen with Duck, Donald, Douglas, Bill, and Ben who all did have CGI faces in season 12 but were not given to by Bachmann. Same goes for a black footplate on Oliver if Bachman made him since Duck's is black in the show but white on the model. I know we can't see Oliver's face at the moment with this picture but I'll assume it will look like it did back in season 12.
Well again, who knows, it is something I would love to be proven wrong on since I would prefer the model version of the character myself. Though the white footplates are usually something Bachmann have been pretty good about taking care of when it comes to making models so I am not as concerned over that personally. The lamp would be a nice addition, I personally wouldn't mind the lamp as I could add a light to the model to flash on when the model runs. I've done that with extra Thomas, James, Percy, and Toby models I have and the result was very satisfying.
