I was going to wait until the official announcement of Silverhawks Ultimates figures and speculate on theoretical Hawk Haven, Maraj, Skyrunner, and Mon*Starr's Transformation Chamber. I even googled for the photos of the unmade Hawk Haven playset.
I had a whole rant simmering in my head on how the Toy playset looked NOTHING like the toon and how it would be IMPOSSIBLE to make a Toon Accurate Hawk Haven. Sadly, the Revelation of the Thundertank's measurements and cost have forced my hand.
We should start discarding the notion of playsets for the theoretical Silverhawks ultimates line. *IF* we get a single non-figure item, it's going to be The Maraj. The vintage toy was roughly 20 inches by 25 inches and the figures were roughly 5 inches. I may be off in my measurements. Going by second hand experience here.
So, in Ultimates they'd be around 7 inches.
The Maraj Toy would be roughly 28 inches in width and 35 inches in length. Probably about 7 inches in height. But Super7 ignores Toy Scale on vehicles and goes for Toon accuracy.
And let's be honest here: Super7 might not have the same faith in Thundercats as they did with MOTU. Add to this the fact that the silverhawks fan audience is much smaller than ThunderCats. Now here comes the curveball: if you have to choose, as a fan of the Rankin Bass Hero Trilogy, what would you choose? Silverhawks figures, or Thundertank? Hopefully Silverhawks preorders for the theoretical Silverhawks ultimate line will begin in 2022, otherwise, S7 is spreading us too thin.
