Looks good, and I'm glad they went to the trouble of having transparent windows rather than painted ones, but I'm looking at my Product Enterprise version as I type this and nothing can replace that.
Agreed!
I would love for all the Project Enterprise models to be made available again.
@@organismseven3700Yes and expanded, they should have made more TB models.
Maybe even studio scale ones.
All metal too, accessories and maybe scale figures to go with them.
Maybe even studio scale puppets/ figures.
Not too fussed about the inaccurate torpedo tubes as the rest looks fantastic. As someone who missed out on the product enterprise one this is brilliant, now we just need the terror fish to go with it.
I Would Had Love This 60 Years Ago For My Birthday or Christmas, I was 7.
I would have loved this back when I was first watching the show in the sixties. In those days we did not have much reference resources to compare with so any inaccuracies would not be noticed much. Glad I have the Product Enterpriss replica though if a really nice model kit was released today I would get one as well. This Corgi replica is pretty well done considering it has to be an action toy as well...
Great Model! Beautiful!❤❤❤
Love it, there is just something about Stingray I adore.
I had a plastic one, you could rubber band the prop- use to play with it in the bath 🙂
Just received mine today - an excellent model. A little small for the price but it does fill the scale between the old Matchbox model and the Product Enterprise Stingray.
WELL DONE CORGI - WHAT'S NEXT?!!!!
I want an all metal (legs and rockets too and the bottom of the pod and it’s wheels.) TB2 and TB4.
With ad much detail and accessories too, maybe a stand more pods and vehicles.
And the rest of the TB all metal, with a scale TB5 to TB3, so they can interlock.
To be honest I would just love all the models reproduced with 100% accuracy and accessories, and all metal.
I don’t mind paying for such features.
@@kylethedalek Keep an eye on the Gerry Anderson shop - just sold out of a very nice metal (?) TB2 and are promising to do other craft....
I used to love the beginning where they would say ‘Stand By For Super-Action!’
Presented beautifully!
...Now how redplendent would an XL5 look...? 😁
🚀🚀🚀
Absolutely. Got my PE right here. OK Venus, let's go.
@@brinkeguthrie - Got the little Japanese one myself, but an oldschool Corgi would be a knockout! 🚀🚀🚀
I remember having a big plastic model of stingray that could have figures put in it and had a missle function, hopefully it's up in the loft somewhere
😊awesome looking it's just like the stingray tv show
I remember I had a Stringray toy when I was a kid, a hand me down from my dad. It was a nice little metal thing, a lot of chipped paint. I ended up losing it one day and was massively devastated, I might have to pick this up to replace it.
The music is entitled "March of the Oysters" by Barry Gray. And was composed for "Stingray!"
I actually have MarchOf The Oyster on a 10 inch record,issued by chappell music.
@@rickykilby4672 Always thought it a great piece of music. I was born in 1958 but have always remembered Stingray!
@@martindewsnap Agree,but barry gray's music was awesome,generally,really enhanced every anderson series.
looks good.
Finally, I hope the model doesn't sell out so quickly. I wonder if the colors are waterproof. Would it be the right one for my weekly bathroom? There could be arguments between the Stingray and the rubber ducky, but the winner should already be clear❤
I never saw any stories that Dinky had prototyped a Stingray sub toy in the 1960's. I would think an example would have made it to a Vectis auction or somewhere.
When the Dinky factory closed, the receivers went for a quick sale. The place was stripped and the die cast moulds were sold off as ship's ballast. I suspect that any prototypes met a similar fate.
A plastic manufacturer magaged to buy the moulds for the plastic components and used to reproduce them for use in restorations.
I’ve still got my original die cast stingray 😀😀😀😀😀 so it must have been !
Awesome👍
Just ordered it
Just though you’d like to know I put a poll on my TH-cam channels community page what is your favorite Gerry Anderson puppet show and i picked four random shows
1. Thunder birds
2.Terrahawks
3.fireballxl5
4. Four feather falls
At the time of typing this Terrahawks and fireballxl5 are in tie for first place .
It’s a nice attempt. It seems Corgi wanted to strike a balance between ‘screen accurate’ and ‘it’s just a toy nobody cares paint it metallic blue’ and I think they managed that, but it’s not correct to the Dinky Toy aesthetic, imho.
If Dinky had made this in the ‘60s, it would have wheels poking out from the underside, with the back axle connecting to a rod that would spin the Ratemaster as it rolled. Also I suspect pushing the periscope down would have fired the missiles.
Still, it seems a fun toy. Buying the non-limited from Corgi seems an option.
nice
Don't know why they couldn't get the sting missile tubes right - other than that it looks great.
It's a beautiful thing.
But then, Stingray always was.
Matt Irvine once described it as the most beautiful sci-fi vehicle ever built.
@@zacmumblethunder7466 Matt Irvine had good taste!🐟
Weren't Corgi and Dinky rival companies?
Yes, along with Lesney (who became "Matchbox". There were several toy car manufacturers in the UK, but they were the big 3.
Such was the rivalry that newspapers ran features in the run up to Christmas 1965 trying to predict whether Fab1 (Dinky) or The Batmobile (Corgi) would be the bigger seller that year.
Only in Britain would the major television shows of the '60's be puppet shows. 😆
Excellent! ...although, WHY use the Thunderbirds "Doomed spacecraft crossing the Suspension Bridge" theme???
It's "March of the oysters" from Stingray...
@@CaseyJonesNumber1 so... they REUSED that theme on the Thunderbirds episode??
@@DocTinfoil don't think so - I looked up those episodes on here, its a different tune.
@@CaseyJonesNumber1 - It is indeed. And used on several other Thunderbirds episodes, too. A good tune is a terrible thing to waste. Watch enough 1960's Gerry Anderson shows, and you'll find some 'borrowing' of stock Barry Gray music going on.
I immediately identified it as Thunderbirds. Must get my Stingray set out tonight.@@brianartillery
What do you mean by,,,,, that never was. ,,,,,???????
There was never a Corgi die cast version of Stingray at the time it was on TV.
Why aren't the tubes accurate? (I ordered one anyway)
Maybe because on the original, the sting missiles weren't little bits of plastic that Troy had to push in from the front one at a time 😄
Why only 750 worldwide?
Special edition. There’s a standard version if you’d rather
£8000? 😮
Close, it's £39.99.
That torpedo tube looks naff on the model, a most important part of the look, i was looking forward to this but will not be buying it now, A gimmick for young children, but stingray builders are mostly older and would not like, need the working torpedo.
Now sold out!
@@GerryAndersonTV True but weren't there only 750 limited edition ones Worldwide? It's reasonably priced and quite a nice model but I found the missile gimmick a turn off too.
Hmm, let's take a nice classic design and ruin it. The squared-off torpedo tubes, the incorrect shape of the bow . . . just to mention two things completely wrong with this toy. Surely it is just as easy to get these aspects right as it is to get them wrong? A wasted opportunity - it's a shame. Ah, well.
Metal please…don’t want plastic
It is a diecast model, so it’s made of metal.
