These pictures were taken for my friend Woodsy over at the Moonbase Central blog, to show how well Triang Spacex and Thunderbirds go together. Hardly surprising, for a number of Spacex toys were based on vehicles appearing in Thunderbirds comic strips and associated illustrations, such as the Tractor T-5 above (more here).
The large TB 2 is by Matchbox from the 90s when Thunderbirds had a revival on TV. I later picked one up at a street market as a replacement of the JR21 version I had when young.
Scale-wise the Matchbox version is a perfect match for Spacex toys, which can now double as the kind of vehicles that TB 2 would carry in its pods.
Matchbox also issued a number of smaller Thunderbirds toys in the 90s, which again show how nicely they fit with Spacex in the picture below.
