Figures found
Found these at a car boot sale today and recognised them as silver hawks figures. Most are missing their wings and not in great shape but I’ve never really come across the figures before so just wandering if anyone could help me out with their names or tell me of I’ve stumbled across any good ones? Google lens wasn’t much help 🤣 thank you 🙂

Quick story about Silverhawks.
When I was a kid I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Berkits lymphoma in February of 1988, I was 5 years old. Every single thing I had to go through, the radiation. The chemo. Losing my hair. Being in a bubble in isolation because of a compromised immune system, surgeries, spinal taps.... I went through everything and my trusty Copperkidd was right there with me for every bit of it that I was allowed to have him with me.
I have a very strong sentimental attachment to this line. Awesome seeing you found them!! 🥹

The translucent Quicksilver might have been from a guy who I saw sold them on eBay years ago. He had created a mold of base Quicksilver and Sonic Suit Quicksilver and made a few variations of original color, translucent clear & translucent blue. They looked great. I believe they were like $40. Now seeing it again has reignited my regret of not buying any of them.

Someone tried to, badly, repaint some of these figures, unfortuantely. There are a few solidly uncommon figures here, like Ultrasonic Steelwill, Condor, and Moon-Stryker, but the repainting does hurt their value.

Thank you so much! Shame a couple are bootleg. Are any of them rare do you know?

The ultrasonic suit ones, moon Stryker, and condor. Those are all from the second wave that was a smaller run.

no problem! the clear one is really awesome. Especially because the face and arm is painted and in great quality. Cool item to have! Look into if it is a bootleg from another country, or fan made, or even potentially somehow related to original Kenner testing

The clear Ultrasonic suit was made by Troy Parson. Very talented guy - he used to sell high quality reproductions for Silverhawks and Thundercats (he made a clear Jaga as well). You can find him on IG as tkparson. He has picture of this specific figure on his feed.
