According to his Talking Action Figure box, Alan Tracy, pilot of Thunderbird 3, was a championship-winning motor racing driver before joining International Rescue. (Maybe he can be played by Michael Schumacher if they make a Thunderbirds movie?) Alan comes complete with his own Astro Tanks, Face Mask and Pistol, and he is fully kitted out in blue Thunderbirds uniform, boots, sash and permanently affixed hat. Each time you gently press his chest, Alan says one of five different phrases-"We're on our way", "F A B", "Thunderbirds are go!", "Thunderbird 3 to base" and "Calling International Rescue"-all in his trademark raspy voice. Alan is a "must-have" for any Thunderbirds fan. He is well made and fun to play with, or just put up on a study shelf for nostalgia's sake. Although he doesn't bend at the elbow, knee, wrist or ankle, he can walk, swing his arms and turn his head. Some of Alan's accessories are small enough to swallow so the figure is not recommended for children under three. The Alan Tracy Talking Action Figure gets two thumbs up. While for a proud adult owner he may tend to spend most of his time staring down from the shelf next to your desk, who can resist the occasional chest squeeze and the resulting "Thunderbirds are go!".
