Hardware, Melodia, and Flashback arrived via BBTS, to join Stargazer and Hotwing I’ve had waiting in the wings (see what I did there) to open all together.
I do want to quickly mention that all three bird companions can perch on their respective Silverhawk’s forearm securely. This is an improvement over the birds that have been released previously.
Hardware is stout as shit, and has stubby limbs with fair articulation. Lots of movement in his hips but can’t get his knees to bend because of how awkward it is to grip the lower legs, they’re so little. His rolled pack is huuuuge and not hollow or functional. He has a large rifle and small pistol.
Melodia is my favorite of the bunch. She has an actual functional diaphragm pivot which can get her into better contraposto poses. She can wail on her keytar in convincing fashion. Her colors stand out like crazy in a great ‘80s way.
Ain't much to say about the 'Hawks. Stargazer is fine. I like his alternate grinning head with the extended bionic eye best. He will display in the shelf looking the most Earth-oriented among 'Hawks, Thundercats, and Masters of the Universe.
Hotwing looks good. Also prefer his grinning head. Had to look up what his unique abilities are, because I thought he was a speedster based on his design. He's a former magician? That's his gimmick? Had the toy as a kid but don't remember him from the show.
Flashback also looks good. His and Hotwing's colors offer some much needed contrast from the main team. Again, I remember him from the cardback cross sell, not the show. I didn't know anything about his abilities until very recently, seeing that he's the bridge and catalyst for why the Thundercats and Silverhawks crossover in the upcoming comic series. That's reason enough for me to add him.
With these, I'm pretty confident I can call this collection DONE. Though if they come out with more of Monstar's gang, I'll probably pick them up for the sake of their diverse designs.
