Take your favourite Thunderbird machines and characters into battle with the limited edition Thunderbirds Chess Set from Tactic.

Defend your King, Jeff Tracy, using all the assets of International Rescue, with Lady Penelope taking her place as the Queen, the Tracy boys serving as the pawns, and Thunderbirds 1, 2, and 3 functioning as the Rooks, Knights and Bishops respectively.

This is a chess set that even Brains’ trusty robot Braman would be proud of. Each piece stands strong in either a silver or pewter colour depending on which side you fight for. The figurines are well crafted to resemble your favourite Supermarionation heroes and are attractively presented in a special tin along with the board and the rules of the game.

A great gift for Thunderbirds fans of all ages, whether you’re a chess beginner, or a seasoned player of the game.
