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 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 compromise meant the bottom antenna from the craft had to be removed; which was possibly a step too far for purists.
