Thunderbirds Are Go film poster – 1966
Growing up in the 1960’s – Thunderbirds was a huge part of childhood. This is a reproduction of a British Thunderbirds Are Go film poster. It was created by for the release of the 1966 Thunderbirds Are Go film. It was based on the Thunderbirds Supermarionation television series created by Gerry and Sylvia Anderson. Supermarionation – is a condensed blend of the words Super – Marionette – Animation. The term was coined by Gerry Anderson to distinguish the electronic marionettes with more traditional puppets.
Two quad size posters were produced to promote the film’s first release. This fantastically detailed, colourful artwork is the rarer of the two. Nostalgia can play a significant part in the demand for certain posters. It’s rarity and popularity is such, that original copies of this poster sell for upwards of £2,500.

Our posters are carefully and professionally created from vintage originals. Whilst great care is taken in the production of these posters, we also try to maintain a vintage feel, so there may be small imperfections, fold marks, scuffs, tears or marks that were part of the original poster master. If these do appear they should be visible on the larger views of the item on this listing. The originals of many of the posters we offer can cost many thousands of pounds, so whilst these posters look great, especially framed and mounted on a wall, they are intended as a fun, affordable reproductions and not intended fine art prints.
The 50x70cm version has been specially produced to be used in conjunction with Ikea’s 50x70cm Ribba picture frame which currently retails for around £15. So you can bag a bargain of print and frame for a great price.
