Hello Woodsy,
Seeing as I’m going through a bit of a Thunderbirds kick I thought I’d dig out a few adapted Xmas ads for the Thunderbird JR21 toys which might cheer you up as well as put us all in a nostalgic mood for the upcoming festivities.
Thunderbird 1 appeared in TV21 issue 98 (December 3rd 2066). I got the friction drive version for Christmas. Looking back I don’t remember thinking how bad it was, those awful wheels, the soft plastic nose cone and the’ look at them and they fall off’ tail fins. still, I liked it at the time.

Woodsy says: Cheers Mike and very festive too! I'll post one of Mike's ads each day. Alas, I'm having ongoing problems with image size on blogger. It forces me to seriously reduce them in size. I need to solve this but for now my apologies for the loss of detail.
I really like the JR21 toys and have re-collected the Thunderbirds ones. I did get the remote controlled TB1, TB2, TB3 and TB5 all for one Christmas as a child!
ReplyDeleteMy TB1 had a light blue nose, I've never seen one since or heard of it mentioned, anyone seen one?
Sounds like it's got Woodsy's cold. ; )
ReplyDeleteEwwwwww! Mike! (grins)
ReplyDeleteThe blue nose rings a bell Kev. I'll have a scout around a few sites I know.
