Thunderbirds

After having Gerry Anderson's captain scarlet 4 disc set for about 2 years now since it came out I finally ordered another series of his.  Always liked captain scarlet but I haven't actually seen any of his other super marionation shows besides that so I figured thunderbirds would be the obvious next choice.  Ordered the 12 disc mega set with all the episodes, should be weird and entertaining I hope.  Ordered it for $90 but it came to $103 with tax and shipping which is the cheapest I could find it ($180 for it is insane)

It will look a bit more kiddish due to the out of proportion heads on the puppets. The hardware for making the puppets lip synch the dialogue were bigger  and had to be put in the head.

Captain Scarlet was the first show they made with human propotioned  puppets.

They were showing Thunderbirds on Tech TV for a while  with little blurbs at the bottom of the screen about the making of the show. I  was always impressed with the models they built for the shows.

I grew up in the 60's with some of their early shows, Supercar and Fireball XL-5.

They're making a live-action Thunderbirds movie.

I've seen the cardboard cutouts for the movie in cinemas and thought that is very silly.  I've heard that the kids are actually kids, or kids of the tracy kids.  if any of that made any sense.

They have to rescue the parents, in what i imagine will be some sort of rip off of Spy Kids.

Live action sounds incredibly lame.  Looking forward to seeing this series soon.
