Silverhawks action figure line

[10incher]

I also collect Silverhawks figures and have most of them except for Quicksilver with Ultrasonic Suit as well as Airshock for Mumbo Jumbo. It seems these figures also show up more often MOC than loose. Anyone know if the second version of Monstar with Laser Lance was ever produced? They show a graphic of him in the 1988 toy catalog but not a pic of an actual figure. I don't think I ever saw him on Ebay.

Check out the main Website for a picture gallery of loose Silverhawks figures at www.action-figures.ca/silverhawks.htm.

Anyone have any ideas on a price range for the sky-runner vehicle boxed? loose? It seems like a tough vehicle.

A boxed one just sold on Ebay for $94. Would have loved to get it, but just didn't have the $$$ for it right now.

[jeffcorrell]

I believe that was with the reserve not met too. I'm going to hold out for a cheaper one. I don't have any boxed Kenner vehicles yet.

Strangley enough I just bought a boxed sky-runner from a guy in Argentina that was released over there by the company Antex. I would think it is so much rarer than that one. It's missing some parts but the box is in good shape and totally different than the US kenner version as far as graphics. The vehicle is the same though. I only paid a third of that for it plus shipping cost

[10incher]

I hear ya, i would rather try and find a loose complete one. You'll have to post some pics of that Skyrunner box!

[jeffcorrell]

Here's a pic ..not the best but you get the idea.

Here's my carded Mon*star run

first release signed off sample, Antex (Argentina) carded, and second release carded figure.

very cool pics,jeff, thanks for posting them.

[10incher]

Welcome to the boards Flashback! Cool pics indeed, I like the Sky Runner box art. It is an actual pic of the vehicle and not artwork like the US release right?

[jeffcorrell]

yeah it's a photo and not an illustration. I can try and take a better close-up picture sometime. That pic really is crappy. They also used the original quicksilver instead of the ultra-sonic suit Quicksilver shown on the kenner release. The top of the box has black and white line art on it too.

I'm the one that won the skyrunner MIB on Ebay for $94. The reserve wasn't met. I had to go to $150 to get it from the seller. I'm a sucker. But frankly, I was tired of looking for one. I'm still waiting for it to arrive. Should be here any day now. Sad part is, I don't even care if stuff is mint in box. I end up opening it all up, most of the time. Ah well, it's only money. I got a tax refund coming.

[treckmeyer]

10Incher, I noticed in earlier threads, you are looking for the Monstar and Copper Kid figures. Don't know if you learned yet, but neither of those figures was ever produced. Same with the Copper Racer. I heard Hawkhaven fortress was never produced either. That one I'm a little more shaky on however. It seems odd that they wouldn't produce a 1st series item, but then go on to produce a whole line of second series items.

[jeffcorrell]

Hawk Haven is indeed unproduced. I believe the cost of making .vs. the retail cost was just too much so they canned the idea. I know it was very close to production too. ( it was shown in the 1987 toy fair catalog after all) It would have been a neat playset.

Trekmeyer do you know anything about the rarity of the sky-runner? That seller claimed only 700 were made and that he got info from a kenner source. I would think more than that were produced. I doubt he realized they were released in Argentina also.

Man I am so kicking myself for not grabbing a boxed sky-runner I saw at a toy show a few years back it was only $45 sealed in box.. The box was just beat though and didn't realize it was so tough back then.

-Jeff

[treckmeyer]

I don't know if that was true or not. I kinda dismissed the idea that it was. I would think they would be more expensive than they are, if there were only 700 produced. You figure half of them are beat up and tossed by parents or kids after they are played with. So that would really make this a premium item. That's why i think it would be much more expensive. But who knows, I'm far from an expert.

I only need Ultrasonic Quicksilver, Copper Kid w. Laser Discs and MonStar Laser Lance (if he even exists). I have never seen the last 2 anywhere for sale on Ebay or even any pics other than in the Silverhawks toy catalog.

For weapons I only need Molecular's hand attachment, Mumbo Jumbo's Airshock bird and the Bluegrass with Ultrasonic Suit amplifier part.

I have a complete collection and could take pics of UltraSonic Quicksilver. Let me know if you still need one.

[10incher]

Sure thing, I could use a pic of him with a black background. Here are the pic specs i am looking for:

LMK!

[treckmeyer]

Well, I finally got my skyrunner in the mail! It's sweet! Now, just waiting for the Ultrasonic Quicksilver, and all I will need after that, is to find molecular's weapon, and a second missile for the Miraj ship. I'm so close!!!

When that Ultrasonic Quicksilver finally shows up its gonna be a battle!

[jeffcorrell]

Seems like some real ignorant people have been bidding on silverhawks stuff lately. I can't believe some of the pirces figures have been going for lately. Maybe now is the time to sell off some of my extras.

-Jeff

[treckmeyer]

I say sell that stuff now, while you still can!

[treckmeyer]

alright, i got my ultrasonic suit quicksilver in! Kinda beat up, but still good!

[jeffcorrell]

Just got some nice sealed vehicles myself ( strong hold and sky shadow). I picked up one of the last 2 carded figures I need (steelwill) for $17. Now I just have to track down an affordable carded steelheart to complete my carded set. Congrats on the ultra-sonic quicksilver Trekmeyer! It's cool figure!

-Jeff

[treckmeyer]

Congrats! yea, the quicksilver is a nice edition to the collection. Basically completes the collection, now I can finish up blackstar and some other stuff, hopefully.

[bluegrass2k]

Jeff your collection looks awesome! Have you got anymore pics of it and how much Silverhawks stuff do you own?

[10incher]

Finally was able to score a MISB Skyrunner for $78 shipped from an online store. I will post some pics when it comes in. The funny thing is the guy had nearly all the Silverhawks vehicles MISB for sale and this was the cheapest one!

Been trying on Ebay with no luck, though there is one on auction right now. Probably will go fairly high though. One did recently sell with a loose Maraj and a bunch of figures just recently for about $50. At least getting a MISB one insures that it will be in nice shape!

[treckmeyer]

I have a question for everyone out there? Has silverhawks been released on DVD yet? I saw something on Amazon.com. "Silverhawks Collector's Limited Edition Set 1 (1986)".

It was released by Vortex Films? I don't remember this being advertised or anything. is this a bootleg of sorts, just done up nicely?

Thanks for any info.

[10incher]

It looks like it may be a home made set as it is in the Amazon Marketplace section.

[jeffcorrell]

I saw a pre-sale for an offical DVD release for sale on ebay. I haven't really taken the time to see if it's legit or not. I assumed it probabaly was. Tons of bootleg sets are for sale on ebay all the time. The artwork for the bootleg set is horrible though but you get all 60 some cartoons for like $25.

-Jeff

[10incher]

Just added a few more pics to the Silverhawks section of the archive including Ultrasonic Quicksilver, Stronghold and Skyrunner. Only Maraj left to go (when I finally pick one up)

[shaxper]

Silverhawks was one of my favorite cartoons growing up, but when I finally downloaded a few episodes for nostalgia's sake, I was appalled at how bad the show was in retrospect. The premise was just plain ludicrous, the characters were awful, and the plots...were there plots? I spent years proudly arguing that Silverhawks were superior to Thundercats, but my adult tastes disagree. Have I just seen the wrong Silverhawks episodes?

[steelwill]

Does anyone know of any variations from the Silverhawks? One that I think i remember reading about was a Steelheart variant and I think one was more Blue-ish and the other Purple? Does anyone have any information or pics to share for a side-by-side comparison? thanks
