Only thing is, the legs don’t work. The show itself came and went, unheralded, on a local UHF station with unstable reception. Decades later I stumbled across a couple of strange revivals. Both edited the original hour episodes to 30 minutes; re-recording with different voices and it one case intercutting with real teens supposedly occupying Thunderbird 5. Not sure either lasted a season.

Never sought out other Dinkys, although I remember seeing other Thunderbirds recolored and packaged as generic spacecraft. I always regarded Corgis as the real top rank because they had neato versions of James Bond’s Aston Martin and the Batmobile.
