Remember The Supermarionation Era

  • Pick five of your favorite Supermarionation shows in (roughly) the order they came out. A classic line-up is:

    • Thumb: Stingray (1964)

    • Index: Thunderbirds (1965)

    • Middle: Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons (1967)

    • Ring: Joe 90 (1968)

    • Pinky: The Secret Service (1969)

  • Create tiny “puppets” for each show. You could draw simple faces on paper tabs, color in a little puppet silhouette, or even use stickers or washi tape—anything you like!

  • Stick them on the tips of your five fingers. Now your hand is a miniature Supermarionation cast.

  • Practice your “Super-hand” show order by wiggling each finger and saying its name out loud:

    “Stingray… Thunderbirds… Captain Scarlet… Joe 90… The Secret Service!”

  • Turn it into a daily game. Each morning, let your hand tell you what comes next in the Supermarionation era. Soon you’ll have them all memorized—and it feels like playtime! 🎉
