Thunderbirds – Gerry Anderson / Century 21 (1965–Present)

Created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson, Thunderbirds launched in 1965 as a Supermarionation sci-fi series following International Rescue—a secret organization using advanced vehicles to save lives worldwide. The core machines are iconic collector centrepieces: Thunderbird 1–5, the heavy-haul Thunderbird 2 with modular Pods (and Pod Vehicles), plus FAB 1 and The Mole, all backed by instantly recognisable retro-futuristic design and memorable “Any time, any place, anywhere” heroics.
