what i found interesting about this set is that multiple different thunderbirds toys from different manufacturers are compatible this set, like different makes of thunderbird two fit into the groves
Thanks so much! Have a thunderbirds costume but needs abit of TLC as the sash has kinda disintegrated but hopefully will be an easy fix. Not Thunderbirds but I also really want to do a Captain Scarlet cosplay sometime!
I guess the issues with this playset stem from the fact that this one is a second attempt. The original first edition playset only had 4 voices, no pictures of the characters, the voice box was separate and could be hidden in the back. And I believe that the original playset as slightly bigger too. Both are still cool playsets.
@@mgshoutman Oh I see what you mean sorry! I'm not too sure, maybe on ebay or some pictures may exist of the decals online to print out but other than that im not sure.
I have an issue with the fact that the entire picture lights up not just their eyes like in the show. Am I sad? Never mind, great review, because I’ve never seen one of these in the flesh. Or… plastic.
That is a little nitpick of mine as well! haha Thanks! They are quite a collectors item now. I also have a couple more Gerry Anderson toy reviews coming out soon!

I remember making this in 1993 when shown on TV. Managed to get 1 in 2001 still got to this day
John was done dirty
I used to own this!
I have this along with the 2015 Tracy Island!
That's really cool! Never got a chance to pick up the 2015 one myself.
Are you going to try to review the 2015 Tracy island?
Hopefully! I've been looking to get one for a while at a decent price with all the vehicles but they are so expensive now. Still looking though!
From someone who watched Thunderbirds in the sixties. This looked cheap could be a lot better.
Totally FAB review, I know completely expected but there we go
Have you ever cosplayed any of the Thunderbird's BTW?
Thanks so much!

Do you know where you can buy these with the thunderbirds for cheap prices?
They are quite hard to find cheaply. But Facebook marketplace or Ebay are the best places to look!

Yeah it's definitely interesting to see what different about the two playsets 😊
Hi is there any source of getting the additional decal set; I can't find any info on this..
Also are there any replacement decal sets . Thanks
I'm not sure what you're on about sorry?

@@SeriousJoe never mind. Is this Matchbox OEM or aftermarket?
Matchbox OEM might be compatible with the soundtech version.

@@SeriousJoe I’ll look out for that, I’m way too old for this stuff now but it’s fun to see what’s still out there.
