R is for Rubber Riders

Just a quickie, from the 'Seen Elsewhere' folder, I happened to find, while sorting a while ago, all the common iterations of Thomas's rider figure in one place, at the same time, so I shot them together.

From the left; Vintage biker with 1930/40's soft 'driving' hat* and googles, the motorcycle in hard polystyrene, the rider a soft PVC, then the Jeep driver, who we worked-out might double as a stretcher-bearer, he's polyethylene, although PVC ones can be found I think, finally the Mexican on a donkey, all PVC, but the donkey can be found in polyethylene. His hat is a plug-on . . . or wedge-on!

*It's actually more of a 'Newsboys' hat, than the true driving hat, aka; 'Ivy 'or Flat hat
