Thunderbirds Are Go with the Interactive Tracy Island

The Thunderbirds – Interactive Tracy Island from Vivid Toy Group launched straight into the Top 10 Christmas Toys of 2015 with nostalgic flair and cutting-edge interactivity. Inspired by the rebooted *Thunderbirds Are Go* TV series, this high-tech playset delivered epic rescue missions, voice commands, and realistic sound effects for fans both young and old.

This modern take on the iconic island HQ was loaded with surprises, making it one of the most impressive playsets of the year. From rocket launchers to fold-out runways, it was every bit the action-packed home base International Rescue deserved.

Full of High-Tech Action
