Here's the latest 60th Anniversary diecast release by Corgi - Thunderbird 4 in a similar size to that of their TB2. All they need do now is issue the aforementioned craft in a scale that will accommodate the seagoing underwater vehicle, but it's unlikely as it would cost a veritable fortune to buy. Next out is TB5, which will allow their TB3 to assume a docking position with it, meaning the forthcoming spacecraft will also be a larger-than-usual model. Yup, I've pre-ordered it and will show the International Rescue space station when it arrives at Castel Crivens. Any other Crivvies interested in these collectables or am I the only one?
(No comments so far - guess I am the only one.)

Yeah sorry Kid these are not my thing, but its nice to see them.
'And all I loved, I loved alone' (sigh).
Not my thing either but nice pics :)
That's 'cos it's a nice craft, CJ.
When I were a little kid (not Kid, obvs), screen-accurate TB1, TB2 and TB3 were widely available, but the TB5 that was on the market was bizarrely off-spec. Has there ever been an accurate model/toy of the TB5?
Oh, and Zero-X, vague memories of a HUUUUGE model of that one in the department stores circa 1968/9/.
I don't know in which decade you were a kid, Ex, but few of the '60s toys were accurate, though they certainly resembled the TV craft. In the '90s, Matchbox did an accurate version of TB2 and most manufacturers have followed that design since then. There have been around three TB5s that were pretty accurate in the last 30 years (that I know of), including the upcoming Corgi TB5, which is probably the best yet.
Exactly my kind of thing but I must not collect! I enjoy looking at your collection though and it obviously brings you great pleasure.
Well, I need to have something to occupy me when I'm not pleasuring the ladies, M. (They're so demanding.)
