Thunderbird Doll: I.R. Virgil Charlton

All through the 20th Century and 21st Century, many Thunderbirds Toys were released by different companies. The primary line of figures and vehicles was headed by Carlton in 2000. Vivid Imaginations acquired the license to produce Thunderbirds toys in 1999.
Since its first broadcast in 1965, Thunderbirds has generated more than 3,000 tie-in products.[1]

These include episode novelisations, children's toys and video games. By 1966, Century 21 had granted merchandise licenses to over 120 companies and turnover from these licensees was roughly £6 million (or £119 million in 2021).[2] In 1995, sales in Japan totalled approximately £60 million a year (or £123 million in 2021).[3]

Set in the 2060s, Thunderbirds is a follow-up to the earlier Supermarionation productions Four Feather FallsSupercarFireball XL5 and Stingray. It follows the exploits of International Rescue, a life-saving organisation equipped with technologically-advanced land, sea, air and space rescue craft; these are headed by a fleet of five vehicles named the Thunderbirds and launched from the organisation's secret base of operations in the Pacific Ocean. The main characters are ex-astronaut Jeff Tracy, leader of International Rescue, and his five adult sons, who pilot the Thunderbird machines.
