Just to add to Scoop's superb post on Thunderbirds monsters this morning, here's a cool toy version of the TV21 cover monster, sent in by reader Paul Kaiju. The "Okloparchi" was on sale at a Super Festival in Tokyo in 2014. I've blogged this last year but had no idea what it was! Thanks to Scoop we do now! It really does remind me of the Kraken in the original Clash of the Titans. Ray Harryhausen?
Incredibly, a sample of this toy (which was cancelled before going on sale) has turned up on Mandarake.
