The official Joe 90 CD has been delayed about a month. The new (and hopefully final) release date for the Silva Screen CD is now May 15th 2006. Look for more details on the CD as the release approaches...
It seems that there is life in New Captain Scarlet yet. OK, so we're probably not going to get any more episodes, but at least the show is starting to get more coverage around the world. The show is being broadcast in various countries around the world. I am getting several updates per day so will update this article as info arrives. Click on the "READ MORE..." link for full details.
During the 1990s there was a nice little magazine which went by the catchy name of "Sci-Fi & Fantasy Modeller". It ran for (about) 40-50 issues and covered scale models from TV and movies. Almost every issue containing at least one article related to Gerry Anderson. It was very good, if you see one, check it out. Anyway, after a bit of a hiatus, it appears that the magazine is back again!
This time, instead of coming out every 6-8 weeks, the publication cycle is going to be a bit more conservative, closer to 3 times a year. However, this means that each issue is going to be chock-full of goodies. The first issue was just published and runs 100 pages.
The magazine is full-colour and this first issue includes:
The magazine can be ordered online from the website at They will ship worldwide and even take Paypal. I'm going to place my order in the next couple of days and then I'll let you know how it is. It is worth noting that this is a limited run, so don't hang about.
Although it is now clear that New Captain Scarlet will not see any more series, there is some news worth passing on. Comic info, broadcast news and new merchandise info all after the link...
Finally (at least in my mind) they get to the really interesting stuff. By the end of October, they will have available, a Supercar, Fireball XL5, Stingray and SPV vehicle. Each one is between 170-240mm long (6-9" approx). The Supercar is also available in a "black and white" edition. Each vehicle is priced at £39.99
They also offer a high end range of larger vehicles based on Thunderbirds priced at £299.99. For the fan who has (almost) everything. God help me if they make a high end SPV...

OK, I admit I'm in the US, but I'm a Brit to the end. I make no excuses, I'm a fan of shows that few people outside of the UK watch. Now it seems that despite a HUGE budget and fund raising and Gerry Anderson actually producing a decent show, its not really getting the respect it deserves. I'm really not sure what is going on here, and I'll save my opinions for a later time, but at least there are some interesting merchandising items available. In the UK.
Fans of the astonishingly successful Thunderbirds comic (aimed at the VERY young fans and still going strong at issue 90) is going to start publishing a comic based on the New Captain Scarlet show. The first issue should be available mid-october. Copy of the ad can be seen in the GALLERY.
Bandai's range of toys is now available in the shops. For details on the range, see the earlier news item. Sadly, FEVA has dropped plans to release their own range of toys.

Can it really be 40 years since Thunderbirds first graced our TV screens? That's two generations of kids growing up watching a show that only had 32 episodes. Amazing.
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the show Silva Screen is releasing a special deluxe 2 CD set containing not only favourite tracks, but also some unreleased items and other goodies.
