About Jr21 Thunderbird 5

Thunderbird's TV Series designer Derek Medding's based TB5's design on the Tracy Island Round House, However JR21's Thunderbird 5 had the poorest similarity of all the toys to those featured on the TV show.

What's interesting

Battery operated bump and go move along the floor action made it a good toy with some charm, however this push down action meant the bottom antenna from the craft had to be removed compromising the toy's authenticity resulting in a step too far for model purists.
