Thunderbirds fans – check out these amazing Revoltech models! Revoltech have created some truly remarkable Thunderbirds replicas with amazing attention to detail!
First up, we have stock of the totally epic Sci-Fi Revoltech Thunderbird 2 flying in in a couple of weeks! It includes a display stand, detachable cargo pod with Thunderbird 4, extension legs that can be posed, extended, retracted, or folded and even comes with a name plate. Talk about FAB!
Then we have the newly announced Sci-Fi Revoltech The Mole which looks fantastic! The iconic Mole (known in Japan as the “Jet Mogura”, or “Jet Mole”), is stunningly detailed and features fun posable suspension. The Mole measures at about 18cm (7.1") long and is about 8cm (3.1") high.

“OK, boys and girls. That's the brief. It's our first assignment, so make it look good.”
And make it look good they did with these incredible Thunderbirds kits lovingly crafted by the masterminds at Aoshima. Each kit spares no detail and is incredibly faithful to the ships we watched go out on countless rescue missions and heroic endeavours.
The Gerry Anderson supermarionation television series Thunderbirds and the subsequent feature films Thunderbirds Are Go and Thunderbird 6 (1965–68) featured a large variety of futuristic air, land and sea vehicles and machines, the majority of which were designed by special effects director Derek Meddings. In the context of the series, most of the advanced machines appearing belonged to the International Rescue organisation and were used during their rescues. These were known as the “Thunderbirds”, which consisted of five core machines and a variety of other rescue craft. It was after these that the series was named. All of the International Rescue vehicles were designed by the organisation's resident technical genius, Brains.
