It seems there is a very active new collector scouring the internet and gobbling up some of the very rarest Plarail Thomas items on eBay... YOU ARE KILLING M...

it is/was a tru exclusive.
and it was before the fisher price merger...

There are (at least?) three variations of Rocky. Tomy, HiT and Fisher Price. FP has a grey roof, Hit has white roof, and Tomy’s version (the first) has Rocky facing the opposite way than the newer versions. And the crane magnet sets into a little divot in the connected car. I think the Tomy version has light grey (white?) wheels. I’m partial to the Tony version, then the HiT, with FP bringing up the rear 🙂, but still pretty cool.

Yes...you beat me to it C&D!!

Yes! There are sooooo many different little appointments, color variations, and design differences throughout the three of them, that there are too many to list...eyebrows too!

I hadn’t even noticed the eyebrows and other little details that are different across the models. And I also forgot to include the plarail variant that comes Percy and inexplicably doesn’t have a motor!

Super

We don't have a Rocky in the Future World collection but I have had close to 10 pass through my hands. I would buy non-working ones, repair them and re-sell for a little profit but I would only do this with the Rocky version that has the 12 small black wheels. You see, not only would I repair and get them back into circulation, I would swap out those small black wheels for the common gray ones. before re-selling because I like to use the black ones for customs.
