There’s still no news on whether the new Thunderbirds Are Go TV project has secured a comic deal. We’ve still got our fingers crossed!
As we’ve previously reported, we do know there’s other merchandise in the works to celebrate the upcoming 50th anniversary of the production of Thunderbirds in 2015, and Anderson Entertainment has just launched two special edition badges – the International Rescue logo, and Thunderbirds logo pins, as well as the 24mm Gerry Anderson badge at a discounted rate (saving 20% – badges usually £5 each).
The Thunderbirds and International Rescue badges have a strictly limited to a circulation of only 1000 pieces, so grab them while you can from the official Gerry Anderson web site!
