Shot these on Mercator Trading's stall at Sandown the other day, purely as eye-candy. we looked at them years ago, but they were sitting there, so why not? The character figures from Thunderbirds, who were added to the existing Ovni ('UFO') line from Comansi at some point.
Bones and the Boss are obvious, but as far as the brothers go, it's a case of what colour you paint the sash, I think! There may be some clues for the more dedicated aficionados, but I'm only a casual, childhood-nostalgia type fan!
Seen with a couple of the smaller cereal premiums from
Kellogg's, which also got issued by
Tom Smith in a set of
Thunderbirds Christmas crackers. You can find them in a more stable polyethylene, but these are more of
the soft PVC ones, which were kicking about in large numbers a few years
ago, and tend to get squished in the pack.
Home painted, we have Bones and Lady Penelope, although different sizes, both sets get across the woodenness of puppets quite well I think? That's it, just box-ticking some eye-candy!
