Plarail promotional Kevin?

So I was in a stream yesterday with Muddy Poppins and a plarail Kevin was brought up, we know that a small Kevin exists (the plarail one) 

And he definitely looks like the best model of Kevin, not too chunky like the trackmaster HiT one, and not a literal engine like the trackmaster revolution one. 

However Muddy bought up a promotional version of Kevin which I found an image of on the wiki: 

There appears to be a red triangle on the inside of the yellow victor version but not the promotional one according to Muddy...
Does anyone know anything else about the promo Kevin? Like how you were supposed to obtain him and what his purpose was?
Thanks - Tons

Will ask my Japanese Friend

Edit: He said it was released at events in 2018, and is different to the Kevin released in the Yellow Victor Set. It's different due to having less details than the one released in the set.

I didn't even know this promotional kevin existed until I saw this thread.

My research suggests that it was first distributed 4th August 2017 as a limited (3000) promotional gift to anyone who bought a Choo-choo Steam! Thomas Set ( 蒸気がシュッシュ！ トーマスセット) at Toys 'r Us. The set had been released 1st March 2017, maybe it wasn't selling well?

[Super]

The Master Researcher does it again

Christo you are amazing! Thank you so much!!

Huh, I thought we already had some of that info on its page. I only provided a small link to the official Japanese Thomas blog.

As jdogman says, it's always best to check the wiki first. Where is the link to which you refer?

I don't really point to the wiki because I see room for improvement somewhere, but it's interesting if someone says they weren't able to find something or if something was confusing because it makes you wonder what you've done or how to make it better. It's this link next to the Plarail release date. https://blog.thomasandfriends.jp/2190

I'm afraid i didn't find it on the wiki. I must have been looking in the wrong place  . Sorry for the bother
