Is the project still in production? Or is it just dead atp? I hope it's not the latter. At least we got the awesome series of comics from dynamite.
Not sure. I can't find any newer information on it.

Good to find this thread thanks to @ornclown !
I don’t have a ton of these Super7 figures but I love the three shows. I’m currently (re)watching Silverhawks, for the first time the complete series on DVD. (Missed a lot of the later episodes back then).
Might like it even more than Thundercats. (Love space stuff). Fun to discover “new” things and stories and characters so many years later.
I do get some of the figures every now and then. Just got the “Deluxe” version of Tygra.
@cosmic What I really like about the Silverhawks show is that it maintains a relatively high level of quality (as far as story-telling, character interaction, background info, action, and quirk) throughout its entire run.
As opposed to the ThunderCats that came out of the gate firing on all cylinders - but really saw a drop in quality after season two. (Admittedly, I hate the Lunataks and thought the storytelling went so far astray, that it never really found its footing again...)
Regardless, I do recommend picking up the Super7 Ultimates figures for both Silverhawks and ThunderCats... they are overpriced (unless you look at secondary sellers and Amazon warehouse deals) but pretty good representations of the cartoon characters.
(A couple of standout figures for me are Windhammer and Slithe... both are very well done.)

A dream crossover for me has always been New Adventures of He-Man x Silverhawks. 😎
This would be such an awesome collaboration with Mon*Star and his mob recruiting the help of Skeletor, Flogg, and the mutants to pull some huge heist - only to be thwarted by Quicksilver, He-Man and the combined efforts of the 'Hawks and Galactic Guardians!
Some interesting pairings:
Melodia and Crita
Windhammer and Quakke
Steelwill and Kayo
Steelheart and Mara
Copper Kidd and Kaz
Moon Stryker and Flipshot
Stargazer and Sebrian
Etc., etc...

@ornclown A while ago I finished watching the entire run of the original Thundercats show, and I agree that I noticed a change once we got into the second season – not just the new characters, but also new settings, and yeah, the storytelling wasn’t quite the same. Nevertheless, I’m glad that the second season exists, that they had some more adventures.
Love the idea for your dream crossover, I think I love both cartoons because of the space theme, and even in animation, they are stylistically not that far apart. Also an opportunity to explore some of the Galactic Guardians closer, that didn’t quite get the spotlight in the original series (even though it was planned).
Your pairings sound really fun, too!
The deeper Super7 goes with their characters in these lines, the more I like it!
A while ago I got Hardware, not a character I’m usually all that excited about, but seeing him executed so well in plastic was I st… uncanny and I really like him as a toy. He might be a bit too big? And lack of articulation in the torso is a bit disappointing, you can’t do a ton with him. But I just really love the sculpt, and the paint is exactly the right amount.
I also just got Flashback, a character I don’t really know that much. I’m fascinated because i never knew the later Hawks, except the magician. I’m still watching the later part of the show (psst no spoilers 😅), and I’m excited to meet the later hawks for the first time!
But yeah, loved Flashback’s first appearance, and he looks great as figure. Even though they’re really dialing back the accessories….
(But I got him for $37 + tax on Amazon, I had to get him!)
The Super7 Silverhawks line is all around really good. They did right by my favorite characters (Bluegrass and Stargazer) making them look like the characters I watched each week on the show.
Could a few of them have better engineering? Sure, but I am pretty stoked to have a fully realized line of one of my favorite shows from childhood all together on display... it's pretty incredible for all the hardcore 80's fans!
Each wave has gotten better and better, and Hardware and Melodia both turned out fantastic. I especially love Melodia's total 80s costume and paint job... it looks awesome.
The biggest criticism I have for the line is the ridiculous pricing... but, that can be said for all of Super7's stuff, way overpriced for what we get. (I can't believe I'm going to have to pay $65 for a Yes-Man figure...?!?) 😐
>>>The Power of the Good and the Way of the Magic!<<<
@ornclown I’m amazed how good they look, particularly the deeper cuts. Never thought I’d be excited about a figure of Yes-Man or Hardware… Yes, Melodia is fantastic, I have her as well.
I would have been fine just having a couple of the ‘hawks at first, but the variety of the further cast really draws me in.
Of course it doesn’t hurt that I’m watching the complete series right now, every Saturday one episode, many episodes of which I’m seeing for the first time!
