Ervino's Bandai/Mega-Bloks Thunderbirds Lego-like Sets



Hi Woodsy!
As promised in my comment at the Imai UFO Moon Base entry in your blog, here is a contribution for you, if you will find it interesting... 

Some years ago (I believe around 2010...) Bandai Mega Bloks produced, I think for the Japanese market only, three sets dedicated to Thunderbirds. They are occasionally still findable on eBay and similar sites for affordable sums (around 30 £/$/€ each).

The "look & feel" of these sets is of the "super-deformed" toys style persuasion, so your liking of them may vary... :-)

Anyway, attached are some photos of my sets.

My apologies if TB 2 diorama is lacking two palm fronds, but they should have been blasted off in one of the vehicles' take-off.

Or , more realistically, one of my cats stole them... :-D

Cheers

Ervino

    1. None, sorry: and luckily! Otherwise my cats could have done a lot of more damages... ;-)
      Anyway, you could build the entire Tracy Island in scale for the models, given enough time, generic Lego/MB pieces & money! :-)

      PS: Thanks for the publication Woodsy: now I'll wait for the TV interviews. I'll cut you a percentage of the movies rights... :-D

    4. Hi Jim,
      I stand corrected: I never took notice the copyright year, many thanks! :-)
      Maybe I should have more precisely said that I *bought* them around 2010 on ebay. I presumed they were form about the same year because I never saw them before for auction/sale...
      Cheers
