Thunderbirds collectables are go! In celebration of Thunderbirds' 60th anniversary this September, Anderson Entertainment is bringing Anderfans a veritable swarm of exciting collectable models of all your favourite International Rescue craft. 

From die-cast models to premium releases, here's everything you need to know about our forthcoming Thunderbirds collectables!

Anderson Entertainment's Thunderbirds collectables

2024 saw us expand our original Thunderbirds merchandise into producing our very own premium collectable models of classic Gerry Anderson craft. Our collectable models line began with our hugely popular Thunderbird 2, and has since included several of the classic Eagles from Space: 1999 and the mysterious flying saucer from UFO.

The Thunderbird 2 model boasts a captivatingly authentic level of detail and meticulous tooling designed to match the heavy duty transporter craft's appearance from the classic series. Our Thunderbird 2 set a high standard for our ongoing line of continually sold-out collectable models, boasting onscreen accuracy in its proportions, colours and weathered detailing.

Will 2025 see further releases to go alongside our very own Thunderbird 2? You'll have to stand by for rescue action! Be sure to sign up to our Thunderbirds 60th anniversary mailing list to be the first to hear of all the upcoming news and releases that we have in store! 

Corgi's die-cast Thunderbirds models

This year, we've teamed up with Corgi to bring you a fresh line of thrilling Thunderbirds models for you to celebrate the 60th anniversary!

Corgi has re-released its line of authentic Thunderbirds models, originally released to celebrate the series' 50th anniversary back in 2015. These models now come with more screen-accurate colour schemes and decals and are a more affordable alternative compared to our premium collectables. The line-up currently consists of Thunderbirds 1 and 3 as a combined release, Thunderbird 2 and a compatible 4 as the second release, and a third release consisting of FAB 1.

Thunderbird 3 in particular has received extensive retooling for compatibility with another forthcoming release from Corgi - Thunderbird 5! Yes folks, you'll finally be able to enjoy a collectable model release of Thunderbirds 3 and 5 that can dock with each other just as they do in the classic TV series! 

You can order these stunning die-cast models from either Corgi or Anderson Entertainment. Our limited editions of Corgi's Thunderbirds models come in exclusive presentation boxes, complete with schematics of each Thunderbird machine. Please note that these limited editions are now sold out.

If you've pre-ordered the limited editions from Anderson Entertainment, our stock will be touching down at headquarters for release in May. The regular Corgi editions remain available to pre-order from us for blast off this April.

Future releases?

There's still plenty more to come from fans of collectable Thunderbirds models this year! As well as a brand new die-cast Thunderbird 5 model coming later this year, Corgi is also releasing a new, larger-sized Thunderbird 4 model. 

Could there still be even more surprises in store for future collectables? Outside of the five classic Thunderbird craft, there's still plenty more much-loved vehicles from the world of Thunderbirds that have rarely received definitive model releases over the years. Could 2025 be their chance to blast off into collectable action? With such a landmark anniversary to celebrate, anything can happen in the next few months!
