Thunderbirds "Supersize 2 4" Action Figure

Product Information

The contents of Thunderbird 2 's Modules differ slightly from the original series. Module 1 specialises in carrying fire-fighting equipment and contains large speakers and subwoofers topside that are used primarily to emit low-frequency sound waves for use against large fires. It also comes with two under-slung liquid nitrogen cannons. Module 2 contains three "Pods," special units that can be converted and customised into several different rescue vehicles such as the Mole. Module 3 contains electromagnetic "grabs", large claws designed to lift objects heavier than the standard electromagnetic cables can handle. The nose of the craft also contains a set of grabs that can hold a set of seats for lifting people. Module 4 contains Thunderbird 4 just like Pod 4 did in the original series. Module 5 consists of a fuel pump to refuel other vessels as well as seats like Module 3. Module 6, like Module 4 is capable of carrying Thunderbird 4, but it is used in rare occasions of Thunderbird 2 having to travel into space. Since Thunderbirds first aired in 1965, demand for Thunderbird 2 models has never ceased. From the legendary die-cast version produced by Dinky, to the later Matchbox version in the 1990s and countless other versions made from a host of different materials, there have been plenty of Thunderbird 2 models to please fans. This one is rather special though, we have to admit. Denham, Sam (2015) [2012]. Thunderbirds 50th Anniversary Edition Agents' Technical Manual. Yeovil, Somerset: Haynes Publishing.

Overall, the model is a big 5 11⁄ 16 in. long by 2 1⁄ 10 in. by 1 1⁄ 2 in. high and, as a matter of interest, weighs more than ½lb. which is surely proof of its substantial nature. You can fold the wings down to retract the legs to recreate Thunderbird 2 launching and flying. When landing, rotate the thrusters and fold the wings up to release the retractable landing gear and drop down the central pod to discover Thunderbird 4 inside.This, then, completes the model, but, as this is probably the last issue of Meccano Magazine to be published, I should like to say goodbye to all my readers and should like to thank all of you who have written to me over the past few years. Don't forget, however, that Meccano Limited is still very much in existence, and that new Dinky Toys will continue to appear every month. Watch television and the Press for details.

The Thunderbirds machines are a series of vehicles that were imagined for the mid-1960s film and television series called Thunderbirds, which was developed by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. The series began with the Supermarionation television show Thunderbirds and was followed by the subsequent feature films Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6, which were released between 1965-68. The show featured a large variety of futuristic air, land, and sea vehicles and machines, most of which were designed by special effects director Derek Meddings. But the simple fact that the new Dinky originated in a T.V. programme is a comparatively minor detail. Of far greater importance from the customer's point of view is the question, "What special features does it have to recommend it?" Answer — "Plenty!" FAB 0: a six-wheeled motor car that appears in the Thunderbirds Are Go episode "Designated Driver" as the vehicle that precedes FAB 1. It resembles the original FAB 1 from the original Thunderbirds series and additionally features propellers housed in its wheels for flight. Thunderbird 4 features a slightly updated and streamlined design in Thunderbirds Are Go and has a few new features compared to its original counterpart, now possessing a pair of deployable grapple arms and two "dry tube" evacuation pods in its stern. Like the rest of the Thunderbirds, it can be piloted remotely via Gordon's wrist device.Thunderbird 2 is International Rescue's heavy-duty transporter aircraft, green in colour, which carries rescue equipment to the danger zone in one of 6 pods (including Thunderbird 4 in Pod 4). Thunderbird 2 is a large, green VTOL aircraft that is used in most earth-based rescue missions. It is piloted by Virgil Tracy, who is often accompanied by either Scott Tracy, Alan Tracy, Gordon Tracy, Brains or sometimes Tin-Tin, and on at least one occasion by Lady Penelope. In the 2004 live-action film, Penelope also owned several pink Ford cars, at least one of which was named "FAB-8". [37] Miscellaneous [ edit ] Kitmacher, Gary; Miller, Ron; Pearlman, Robert (2018).
