SUITS YOU SIR!

Some advertisements for  Anderson related playsuits. I never had any, but I'd have probably worn them to death if I'd have managed to persuade my parents to send for them.

You got a badge, glasses and a special case with the Joe 90 outfit, plus a special hat!  This looked pretty good .I wonder what kind of quality they were? Unfortunately, it only fits 4 - 8 year old kids and I was 9 when Joe 90 was on TV!

No tunic with the Captain Scarlet one, just unisex trousers but, again a free badge. I think I'd have felt a bit cheated by this one.

I can spot the deliberate mistake in  the Thunderbirds play suit ad. That's not Virgil wearing the suit, but you got a gun with this one, plus decorative sash with motif, and handsome imitation boots.

And there's me thinking the rise of Cosplay is a new phenomenon!

As an addendum, here's a couple more ads for playsuits .

This one's from the Mail Order Stores in Liverpool, and the one below is from the same company selling the Joe 90 outfit.

And another Thunderbirds outfit, Scott's this time,, available at a reduced price from Cadbury's.

No gun with this one

PYRO MEETS PROJECT SWORD

A lovely trio from 2013, I noticed these this week online. I was surprised to see an Auction House get the titles wrong/confused. All three are described as Project SWORD. However the listing does say that one is by Pyro. Here.

GREETINGS FROM SKARO

Enjoy your New Years Eve celebrations tonight!

THUNDERBIRDS ARE GO EXHIBITION

I've got to hand it those wonderful Japanese toy manufactures

 They come up with some fabulous Thunderbirds are Go merchandise,

Look at these photos taken at the Tokyo Toy Show in June, 2015 showing some of the TakaraTomy TAG toys, which I know many of you have managed to get hold of.

The small Tomica toys have been very popular with a lot of you.

It appears they've also got a Thunderbirds are Go exhibition being held at NHK Studio Park, part of the Japanese Broadcasting Centre in Tokyo until January 11th 2016.

Now that's how to promote Thunderbirds are Go!

MIDORI STINGRAY HYBRIDS

These old Japanese Stingray-based hybrid kits are cool. By Midori in 1966. The top one looks like the Sea View from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. Seen online. The Japanese designers attention to detail and unlimited imagination never ceases to amaze me!
