This is an exceptional and rare opportunity to own an original production-made Parker puppet head, created for the 1960s classic Gerry Anderson TV series Thunderbirds (1964–1966).
This puppet head was specifically created for the character Parker, a central figure in the original Thunderbirds series, produced by Gerry Anderson. Parker is the loyal chauffeur and butler to Lady Penelope Creighton-Ward, a key ally of International Rescue. Frequently seen behind the wheel of Lady Penelope's iconic pink Rolls-Royce, FAB 1, Parker plays a vital role in many of their missions, using his skills and connections to support the team’s operations. Parker is best known for his distinctive appearance—complete with a Cockney accent and his exaggerated facial features, including his ever-present mischievous grin. His humor, loyalty, and resourcefulness made him a beloved character in the series.
Measuring at 5.25" x 3.25" x 4" this head remains unfinished but is in a fantastic condition for its age. The head is presented on a bespoke display stand featuring the Thunderbirds logo and a short description of the item. The display measures 21cm x 14cm x 11cm (8.25” x 5.5” x 4.5”).
This head is made of resin and features Parker’s iconic grin, with filled and sanded seam lines running up the neck and across the scalp. The resin has been tinted brown to form a base layer for the paint finish that would have been applied.
This head was originally acquired by the Chief Executive Officer of Prop Store, who obtained it from the longest-serving resident of Bray Studios. The piece was rescued from one of the workshops during a clearance, preserving this rare artifact from the production.
Puppets from the original series rarely surface on the market and have become iconic pieces of television history.
It is accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity (COA) from Studio Props, and a COA from Prop Store with an additional Letter of Authenticity signed by Prop Store.
