The Hood bust - Beswick circa 1992

The Hood bust designed by William K. Harper and produced by Beswick of Longton, England, in a 1992 limited edition of 2,500. The Hood is a fictional criminal and terrorist and the recurring villain of the 1960s puppet television series "Thunderbirds". He is the primary antagonist of the International Rescue organization. The Hood possesses powers of hypnosis and telepathy and uses an array of disguises to carry out his activities undetected. He operates from a temple in the Malaysian jungle. The Hood's objectives are to steal International Rescue's technological secrets and make a fortune by selling them to the criminal underworld. To this end, he repeatedly manipulates the organization into situations that enable him to film the Thunderbird craft. Due to his opponents' quick thinking, or sometimes his own recklessness, the Hood's schemes invariably fail and all of his camera footage is destroyed. However, he is never captured and International Rescue remain ignorant of his identity.
