Super7 has revealed that they do indeed have the Silverhawks license, and the first (non-toy) products are available now. Silverhawks was a short lived cartoon series that aired a single 65 episode season in 1986. The cartoon was released alongside a toy line that was notable for their excellent figure sculpts, and vac-metal bodies, making them stand out among many toys of the 80’s. The unique concept, and excellent toys have long been a fan favorite among collectors, with fans hoping to see a revival that has never materialized* until now. The story followed a group of elite cyborg protectors known as Silverhawks. The group is tasked with protecting limbo for the space gangster known as Mon Star.
Available now are a selection of shirts, glasses, and more. You can find those Here. Action figures are in the works, and will be revealed at a later date. We will update as more details are released.
Got an email this morning from S7. They say they will be announcing new licenses. Check out the section I highlighted in their image. You can see the edge of a very distinct wing in the top of the highlighted area. One of the new licenses is SILVERHAWKS! STOKED!
If they are producing figures I hope to God they aren't ReAction or built on the MOTUC buck.
I wish s7 had kept going with the motuc figs. Guess theyre done with em. And yah lets hope to gawds they dont use the motuc bodies.
Yeah, they've been selling Silverhawks merch on their site already so Ultimates and/or reaction figures was inevitable.
And they're absolutely going to be on classics bucks, that's the whole point of the ultimates line anyway was continuing to produce figures with the classics aesthetic without the Motu license. If anything the Silverhawks themselves might be on the slimmer bucks that S7 are using for some of their wrestling figures.
This news is pretty intriguing, without a doubt. I wonder if they are trying to secure Tigersharks as well. It wouldn't surprise me. They should go for the Rankin/Bass anthropomorphic trifecta...

Not really an issue when it comes to the villains though, I would think just about all of them would require unique tooling. And I know I'm getting ahead of myself but, since it looks like they're making a Thundertank, I would lose my shit if they made a Sky-Runner.
Silverhawks!!!!!
Now....
I can have my...
Steelheart!!! =^)

Yeah if these are Ultimates they need to be on unique bodies.
The preview shows Thudercats (seem to be teasing a Thundertank recently), Power Rangers (probably ReAction), Silverhawks (Ultimates and/or ReAction), Godzilla 1954 (possibly ReAction and/or art vinyl figures), Star Trek: TNG (probably ReAction), and one other one I haven't made out yet.
Silverhawks License Officially Announced by Super7 - The Toyark - News
Pretty cool! Looking forward to Mon-Star and can't wait to see Hotwing! **cough**Christopher Judge's animated doppelganger...**cough**
I'm real curious of they'll be doing vac-metal bodies on these figures since it notoriously hinders a lot of articulation. It can work on Reaction figures, but for Ultimates it might be an issue. Has Flynn or anyone with Super 7 commented on this yet?
Hey, Super 7, how about some Street Sharks?
Looking forward to seeing these even if I skip the line. I'll try to though. I'm still kinda bummed I didn't pick up Mumra mummy & Panthro from s7 last year to finish my as of then full line. Especially now Cheetara Tigra & Mumm-Ra are being released!
I will finally have MONSTAR in my collection. Super Hyped!!!!! I loved him and Mumm-Ra so much. I don't care about the rest, I'm a Villian fan.

Hope there's a killer Mon-star in the line. Never got into the toys, but if they nail the designs; I'll grab two or three.
Woah, my childhood right there
! I will have to get a few of those, just for memories sake. I was so small when this came on TV as reruns, that I never even understood whether the show had an overarching story lol. But, I still loved it.
Awwwwwww yeah!
