JELEINEN Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 (edited) http://entertainment.time.com/2013/02/05/commence-countdown-to-thunderbirds-tv-remake-launch/ I can't see the video here at work, but the attached article sounds hopeful. I think that if they stick to the formula, it could work. Weta's involvement is a good sign. I re-watched some of the originals a couple of years ago and you can really see the influence this show had on anime designs. Edited February 5, 2013 by JELEINEN Quote
Demon_seed_22 Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 Hopefully some new toys as well. The look of the orig show was great, the actual show not so great. RetroBlasting posted a funny video recently about the orig show and toys. Def worth looking up. Funny Quote
taksraven Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 They did a new version of Captain Scarlet a few years ago. It was pretty good but barely anybody saw it due to scheduling problems in the UK. Well worth a look and if the new Thunderbirds could match the production values, it might be good..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3JBnRh8OCc Quote

The Old Man Posted December 30, 2014 Posted December 30, 2014 True. I like what I've seen so far, updated but not ruined to the degree of the 2004 movie. I'm a bit concerned by how they are producing it though - CGI animation but with real miniatures for the vehicles. It'll either be genius or a disaster. Quote

TangledThorns Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Wait, is this not going to be televised here in the States? Quote
The Shade Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 Wow, this looks very very promising. Can't wait to see it. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 13, 2015 Posted March 13, 2015 I don't love the new trailer itself, but I'm still on board for this thing. Quote

So did the VF-1 and the others. Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 Y'know Macross guys did work on the Thunderbirds 2086 series to.. Quote
areaseven Posted April 8, 2015 Posted April 8, 2015 I love how ANN dug up a 20-year-old Animerica article to quote Kawamori-san's opinion on Ultraman. Quote
Tochiro Posted August 6, 2015 Posted August 6, 2015 Someone gave Kawamori a few minutes off from making Delta - and look what happens! ;-) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2015-08-05/macross-creator-kawamori-talks-designing-plane-for-thunderbirds-remake/.91313 Quote
spanner Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Looks really good! Looking forward to seeing it! Loved the original series! They did a new version of Captain Scarlet a few years ago. It was pretty good but barely anybody saw it due to scheduling problems in the UK. Well worth a look and if the new Thunderbirds could match the production values, it might be good..... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3JBnRh8OCc Never knew they did a remake of Captain Scarlet!? must check that out! I rather liked the original series too! Quote
antibiotictab Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 I watched the show yesterday. And Kawamori-san was talking about the plane after the episode was over. Quote
antibiotictab Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 interesting looking design! The "S" stands for "shadow." According to the interview, he said like those below. --- He was ordered that basically the S is for some stealth duties; intrudes the enemy areas, flies fast and it has a tight turning ability. The other Thunderbirds machines are not only something real but those ones also have their own characteristics. And he designed the S concidering about it. At a beside view of it, its nose looks like that of a Kiwi bird. He designed it referring to its bill and head as the motifs. --- Quote

anime52k8 Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) so is this a toy or a model kit? Because that looks sexy. Edited December 11, 2015 by anime52k8 Quote
electric indigo Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Hobbysearch lists the series as toys, although the description says "assembly required", and the parts come on runners. It even has LEDs in the engines. No idea of the scale, though, looks like 1/100. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10355260 Thunderbird 2 doesn't look too bad, too: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10355259/10/0 Quote
