My Vintage Kenner Silverhawks Figure & Vehicle Collection (1986 to 1987)

Soaring though the highways of the heavens in their flight,
Silverhawks, a rainbow in the night!
Going through my vintage collection of Kenner Silverhawks figures, fighting hawk companions and vehicles.

    I remember going into Kay Bee's toy store and seeing the Silverhawks on the shelves. It was $10 or so for Quick Silver, I remember. I didn't try to get a lot of Silverhawks, but I loved the show. The shoulder lasers fascinated me. On the way back to class from the lunchroom in 5th grade, I shot clocks, posters, locker locks and all kinds of things with my shoulder lasers.

    This is sooo awesome. As a kid I had Copper Kid, the cowboy and the ship. I totally forgot that the buttons on the side spread their wings. I do remember a few of the things I wish I'd had from the commercials, including a couple of the characters and the ship that would spread its wings.

    Great video Mike. Actually I liked the Hawks more than the Cats but too bad the writing wasn't better. Loved the concept, their looks, but never owned any. By the time it came out my Dad thought I was getting too old for toys, 15/16, but continued w/ Legos and when I couldn't buy my own Hawks or Transformers I'd build my own. But this reminded me of how back then I tried to find out how to submit ideas for new wave/season and created 5 new Hawks and 5 new associates of the Mob, one being a traitor to the Hawk and a brother to one of my creations, and what would have been a huge new vehicle that was composed of three vehicles. I have to dig out my old notebook, never threw anything out.

    I had the whole first wave of these except the vehicles, as a Thundercats fan I was big into this property. Loved them, my Quicksilver has barely any chrome left though the others are OK. I think Backlash is supposed to be used as handcuffs, and Mumbo Jumbo's bird can be used as a hammer.

    Excellent look at the figures Michael. I had a few of the figures and loved their gimmicks. I loved how the wing gimmick transcended Silverhawks and showed up in other Kenner lines. Wasn't there a spinning Batman at one point as well as the quick wing Batman? Like my Thundercats figures, I didn't play with them for very long. I ended up folding the villains and bird accessories into my adventures with Superman and Batman.

    Hot Licks is his first guitar on the show that didn't change into a bird. Sideman is the bird/guitar. It was reversed for the toys though. The 1st figure came with Sideman and the second Ultrasonic figure came with Hot Licks.

    Man had the 2011 Thundercats not been cancelled I bet they rebooted SILVERHAWKS especially since Monstar was shown N mentioned. In sense that reboot had the Multiverse way b4 Marvel did. Love Copper Kid.
