THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO TOYS AT LONDON TOY FAIR

here's a short video shot by Blast Process showing the new range of Thunderbirds are Go toys from Bandai UK.

Some of the figures and vehicles appear to be repackaged versions of the previous Vivid toys.

Amongst the newer line there's a larger Thunderbird 4 which carries a Mole attachment on it's nose, presumably to be seen in one of the held back season 3 episodes, and a larger version of Thunderbird 2, with a grabber attachment.  There's also another version of Tracy Island.

It might come as no surprise that these toys appear to have been given mixed reviews from adult fans, but to be fair they are aimed at youngsters, and I suspect  Bandai  will want to see how the new episodes fare before they invest in larger, newer toys,rather than find them having end up unsold in bargain bins like most of the previous Vivid ones.
