There are episodes that are heavy on certain characters, or a pair of characters, or the whole group, but it’s not predominantly Scott or John, it really is an ensemble piece with episodes that highlight certain characters. As per the model used in the movie, the toy version is also made up from separate components to be assembled into the full composite craft.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. They eventually got the basic design from the Round House, Thunderbird 3's hidden launch site on Tracy Island - however, Gerry Anderson was never truly satisfied with the final product. Another release of the series in 2000 also sparked a peak in interest and a new Tracy Island playset from Vivid Imaginations went on to become the best-selling toy of 2000. Robert Harrop have been producing Supermarionation and Thunderbirds models for a number of years and their reproductions have won many fans and plaudits. Although the story did not tie into the Lady Penelope strip featured in the issue, it featured the Sidewinder, instead featured in the Stingray story and referred to as the Junglecat.

The new Tracy Island is bigger, bolder and bristles with lights, sound effects and mechanical features. The main premise of the magazine was that all its strips and features were set in a single, unified universe. The set boasts ‘smart technology’ that enables it to ‘know’ which craft is launching, and play appropriate sound and light effects.

Some items were familiar to all of us, such as Vivid Imagination’s amazing toys, but… a Meccano Thunderbird 2, anyone? It’s Gerry Anderson’s official answer and was repeated by many members of the crew who worked on the show at the time. We saw an episode – not the first one story-wise, but the first one to be edited and finished, and it’s just breath-taking, absolutely breath-taking, from the sounds of the ships, to the visuals, to how the Thunderbirds fly. Dinky employed a child psychologist/behavioural expert to make sure the toys would fly off the shelves.
