Thunderbirds Interactive Tracy Island Playset

Product Information

They’ve made the ripples much more realistic. I don’t how they do it – they must put a pulse through it Thunderbird 5 – A Space Station. Where the Thunderbirds would monitor on the world and report emergency situations form. ITV Studios Global Entertainment came to Brand Licensing Europe at Olympia, London, this week to show off their latest Thunderbirds Are Go and classic Thunderbirds merchandise. John is the guy up in the sky – he’s the one keeping an eye on everything that’s going on. He’s very good at multi-tasking, thinking on his feet and keeps a very calm head. And for the people that are on the ground doing these mad, crazy rescues, it’s important to have that reassuring voice in your earpiece that knows the timeframe and what needs to be done.

As a foreigner I was told by my agent that I’d been put up for this and not to mess it up! So I did a lot of research, and eventually ended up playing Virgil and Gordon. I heard that supposedly a lot of people loved Virgil in the original series – especially women! I realised that he was the ‘caretaker’ of the group, and is the one that makes sure that everyone’s ok. Then I found out that Gordon is this guy who thinks he’s maybe a bit cooler than he actually is, and gets to head off underwater. Virgil and Gordon are actually together a lot because Thunderbird 2 takes Thunderbird 4 all around the world on missions (I don’t think I’m giving anything away there?!). So the two work together quite well, and that informed how I played both characters.Yeah, John doesn’t panic at all. He’s very relaxed, but he’s also very passionate – he genuinely loves his job, and genuinely loves being on his own! I don’t think he’s particularly jealous of the other guys who get to be the cavaliers and go on missions– he’s quite happy being up in the space station.

Thunderbirds first began as a TV show, showing for the first time in the UK in 1965. This show would later progress into a number of films and toys. The characters were puppets that were built by head puppeteer Christine Glanville and her four-person team. The puppets were made up of around 30 different parts and each had a changeable head to show different facial expressions including a smile, a blink and a frown. The Physics of Thunderbirds – Theo De Klerk casts a scientific eye over the technological wonders of Thunderbird 3 My daughter thought they were ok, and played with them a little bit. But one thing was missing – she had never seen Thunderbirds. I showed her a couple of episodes of the new version, with plots featuring these vehicles, and after that she was re-enacting scenes of rescue she had just witnessed, and was far more engaged with them. Lady Penelope and her chauffer Parker are set to make a big return in 2015 with the launch of a brand new ‘Thunderbirds Are Go’ TV series. Made by Pukeko Pictures of New Zealand and ITV Studios, all the well-known characters and iconic vehicles of the original series get a makeover in the form of live action and CGI animation. What did you think of the new episodes? Who is the Mechanic and what is his relationship with the Hood? Will we finally find out what happened to Jeff?!Yes! There’s a behind-the-scenes documentary where you’ll see me say ‘can we do that again?’, and we’re having a fight between the two brothers, which is a lot of fun, but is also pretty scary at the same time.

These Thunderbirds are Go toys are recommended for young fans, and only for the right price. The most sought-after toy from the Thunderbirds collection was Tracy Island, the home of Jeff Tracy and his sons. In 1991, the original Tracy Island toy was produced. The Tracy Island play set included movable parts that made way for the individual Thunderbirds just like the TV show. There was also sounds that mirrored the sounds made by each Thunderbird. Each Thunderbird had a different purpose and were captained by each of the brothers. Other characters included Jeff Tracy’s mother, an engineer called Brains, Kyrano a servant and his daughter Tin Tin who also served as Brains’ assistant and of course Lady Penelope who was also employed by the International Rescue.
