Everything You Need to Know About Anderson Originals - The Gerry Anderson Store

Anderson Originals is go! We're excited to reveal the next stage in Anderson Entertainment's growing journey of celebrating the incredible worlds of Gerry Anderson. Since 2014, we've been celebrating Gerry's life and legacy through exciting new releases based on his incredible creations. Now, we're blasting off to new horizons.

Anderson Originals is the in-house label for our ever-growing range of official collectables created by the family-run team of Anderson Entertainment. From superb models to definitive home media releases and brand new stories set in Gerry's worlds, Anderson Originals promises authenticity, quality and excitement with every release that honours the spirit of their creations. 

Let's explore everything you need to know about Anderson Originals!

Collectable models

Space: 1999 Pallet Eagle Collectible – Limited Edition - The Gerry Anderson Store

Experience the mechanical majesty of some of the most iconic vehicles from Gerry Anderson's worlds with our ongoing line-up of collectable models of hero vehicles from Thunderbirds, Space: 1999 and more. Our premium die-cast models Eagles and Thunderbirds have set a new standard of Anderson collectables and continually sell-out. This range of model vehicles feature brand new tooling, exquisite paintwork, and realistic weathered details. The range expands into UFO with the titular alien's flying saucer (now sold out) and the forthcoming Skydiver collectable.

Our model range also consists of the Thunderbirds Anniversary Models. These compact collectables capture all the design ingenuity of the core International Rescue fleet at an enjoyably smaller scale compared to our die-cast models. Additionally, our Thunderbird 2 Miniature Edition captures International Rescue's heavy duty transporter craft to stunning levels of micro-enjoyment.

T-shirts for every occasion

Thunderbirds International Rescue Fleet T-shirt - The Gerry Anderson Store

Show off your favourite Anderson worlds with our ever-growing collection of high-quality t-shirts that bring plenty of iconic imagery from these classic creations for you to wear. From the iconic International Rescue, SHADO or Spectrum logo to marking Thunderbirds' 60th anniversary or Space: 1999's 50th anniversary, our fabulous t-shirts bring the eye-catching aesthetics of these beloved series to life.

Publishing new stories, classic comics & technical manuals 

Stingray Deadly Uprising A3 Art Poster - The Gerry Anderson Store

Anderson Originals allows us to continue the imaginative adventure created by Gerry by telling brand new stories set within many of his classic series. Throughout 2024 and 2025, we marked Stingray's 60th anniversary with Stingray: Deadly Uprising, a never-before-attempted multimedia narrative experience based on the World Aquanaut Security Patrol. Deadly Uprising sees the mighty Titan amass many of his underwater races to launch a final and deadly assault against Marineville. The WASPs in turn plot their own retaliation, but are beset by treachery, powerful new foes and the possible destruction of Stingray itself!

Deadly Uprising consists of four major instalments told across novellas and comic strips, supplemented by audio adventures, all of which can be enjoyed as a complete narrative experience or dipped in and out of on a more individual basis. 

Our multimedia narrative approach continues this year with Thunderbirds: Hidden Dangers. This thrilling new series of adventures for International Rescue tells brand new stories set before, during, or after classic Thunderbirds television episodes, lending each exciting adventure an added authenticity. Hidden Dangers will currently consist of the four-issue comic series Burnout, the short story collection International Rescues and a comic anthology, all featuring thrilling new adventures from a host of exciting creators. 

Away from multimedia narratives, we're telling new adventures on Gerry's live-action worlds, with UFO: Shadow Play and Space: 1999: The Armageddon Engine, a pair of thrilling novellas by New York Times bestseller James Swallow.

Our publishing efforts also expand into classic adventures as well; our Comic Anthologies print long-neglected spin-off adventures from many classic comic artists back into print; the Technical Operations Manuals capture the in-universe secrets of your favourite rescue, security and space exploration organisations; our series guidebooks such as The Secrets of The Secret Service, Flaming Thunderbolts: The Definitive Story of Terrahawks and the hotly anticipated All Sections Alpha: The Making of Space: 1999 tell the ultimate behind-the-scenes stories of how these fan-favourite series were created.

Blu-rays, 4K steelbooks & soundtracks

Through the Anderson Originals label, you can experience all of your favourite Gerry Anderson worlds in spectacular high definition throughout definitive Blu-ray boxsets, 4K steelbooks, and soundtracks. Many of our ongoing collectors edition Blu-rays are also made possible thanks to our home entertainment partnership with ITV, meaning that we're able to produce the ultimate home media releases of Gerry's creations, from Supermarionation to live-action and beyond.

Our Thunderbirds 60th Anniversary Collectors Edition Blu-ray delivers the beloved adventures of International Rescue like never before. Restored from original film elements in wonderous HD and in its original 4:3 aspect ratio, you'll step back into the timeless world of the Tracy family and blast off into exhilarating retrofuture adventure. 

Other definitive Blu-ray boxsets include Space Precinct, New Captain Scarlet, The Day After Tomorrow: Into Infinity and will soon include The Secret Service. You can also enjoy newly produced editions of the Super Space Theatre films, including those from Thunderbirds and Space: 1999

Other titles in our range include spectacular 4K steelbook releases of classic episodes of Thunderbirds and Space: 1999, the eye-opening documentary Gerry Anderson: A Life Unchartered, both of the Stand By for Action concerts, and many more. Anniversary edition soundtracks of Space Precinct and New Captain Scarlet bring the pulse-pounding sounds of these lesser-known Anderson gems into your collection as well.
