Thunderbirds - Thunderbirds F.A.B. Collection Thunderbird 5 Corgi 2025

Long requested by Gerry Anderson fans, Corgi announced the Thunderbird 5 diecast, finally here for the first time with this newly tooled release. This highly detailed die-cast model includes a stand for display in two ways by itself, or docked with Thunderbird 3 (sold separately).

Thunderbird 5 is International Rescues space station and the heart of the organisations communications network, maintained in a secret geostationary orbit high above the Earth. John Tracy and his younger brother Alan take turns to man this satellite, with each staying aboard for a month at a time. Between them, they maintain a constant vigil across the globe.

Using sophisticated monitoring equipment, they are able to hear every radio transmission being broadcast with special filters attuned to messages of distress in any language.

Born on 8th October, 2040, 25-year-old John Tracy was educated at Harvard. He followed in his fathers footsteps to become an astronaut prior to his involvement with International Rescue. An electronics expert with a degree in laser communication, John is the quietest and most intellectual of the Tracy brothers. Slighter in build than his siblings, he is lithe and graceful.

As space monitor for International Rescue, stationed aboard the massive space satellite Thunderbird 5, John has ample time on his hands to indulge his favourite pastime of astronomy. Four astronomy and outer space textbooks have been published bearing his name and his incessant space-searching led to the discovery of the Tracy quasar system.
