I just came across these and added them to the Archive. They are 9.5 cm so they could work as teenagers and kids since that is what they are. They are a bit lacking in the articulation department and seem very similar to the IamElemental figures. From what I could find on them they may only be available in the UK though.

The have some mini figures too and an Island and vehicles to go with those.

Hey, thanks for the excellent pictures of these. I'm a longtime Thunderbirds fan, and these new ones look pretty cool.

As for articulation, they don't seem bad at all. They're certainly better than a lot of what's on the shelves here in the States at the moment... :p

That playset has potential for sure. Modify it some, could make a cool missile base or something

I assume you saw it says the playset is for 2 1/2" figures?

It is for the smaller figures (maybe even smaller than 2.5" its hard to tell) but it looks pretty big. Removing all the itty-bitty parts could make it a pretty cool secret base.

Here's a video I found on how it works.

It still looks big enough to do something joe related with. Could be part of a cool dio

BBTS just listed these for sale

http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/menu.aspx?menu=1485&category=10769

They have them listed as 6" though... and they are kind of expensive for what you get.

If the figures are indeed 9.5cm, they definitely aren't in the 6" scale.

I've seen these in a few stores over here in the UK. They didn't really appeal to me. They look smaller than joes and the flesh coloured plastic is very shiny. The Hood is definitely the best of the bunch and probably would have got it if it was a bit bigger.

Yeah, I got one of these from a friend in England for a late birthday present. I'm impressed. They're Joe-scale, 3.75 - 4", no question. Overall quality is excellent. Articulation is good, including head, arms, elbows (including a swivel), legs (a very Joe-like ball and socket design) and knees. Obviously, the design of the figures is a little more cartoonish than Joe, but I like the one I have. Wouldn't mind obtaining the others at some point.
