This looks interesting

The only problem is that I'm only going to play if I get to be Virgil. Thunderbird 2 got things done, the rest just kind of zoomed to the scene and parked there.

It would suck to play John. You can't tell me that guy didn't go bat-shit crazy after a while. Never saw that on the show.

Rumor has it that that Gerry Anderson didn't like John's sculpt so he was thrown up onto Thunderbird 5 and never really got to leave.

Thankfully for John though, they really took advantage of all the boys being trained on every Thunderbird. And perhaps stretched it since Lady P, Parker and Brains are now playable characters...So Parker tolling around in Thunderbird 4 is possible.

Decided to go ahead and back though.

. . . so . . . they ghettoed the ugly son to space? The sixties were a tough, tough era.

One of my favorite clips from Stingray was when Troy, Phones and I think Aquamarina were being held captive. Troy was taken into another room to be interrogated.

They then cut to Phones who is snuffing out a cigarette butt on the floor, and there's about a dozen freshly snuffed out butts at his feet as well. His first line "Troy's been in there almost an hour". I was thinking as chuckling to myself: "Puppet has to have lungs of iron to put down half a pack in less than an hour!"

Puppets drinking, smoking, having hallucinogenic dreams...Different times.

I'm really curious about The Great War, but that price just seems outrageous.

World War I and Richard Borg don't compute to me, regardless of price. I just don't see how the two work together.

I really dig the Dragoon artwork and packaging.

But "dragoon" doesn't have anything to do with "dragon", unless maybe there are dragon cavalry in the game, which there isn't. Weird.
