These are the Matchbox Thunderbird toys I bought for my son to go with his Tracy Island.
Thunderbird 1: That chewed rubber nose cone lets the side down ( how I curse Health & Safety rules) but by and large it's survived the twenty odd years reasonably well.
Thunderbird 2: From this angle it's hard to tell that the pod is long gone. Lost on some difficult rescue or buried in the compost heap!
Thunderbird 3: This lovely toy has, despite another chewed nose cone survived the years well, probably because it was never really played with.
Thunderbird 4: Despite my son's podless Thunderbird 2, Thunderbird 4 has remained. I suspect that's probably down to Dad.
Fab 1: Considering Matchbox are renowned for creating accurate die-cast model cars, their Fab 1 effort left a lot to be desired.
I've still got two of each craft in pristine condition. However, I never really played with them, which makes all the difference.
ReplyDeleteI really like this Tracy Island set, lots of detail and play possibilities.
