I am excited about this and other things discussed. The replacement parts are coming.
Wave 5 for Thundercats (and possibly TMNT) might be on hold until Thundercats Wave 2 is in our hands... most likely after Chinese New Year.
Wave 3 might even arrive slightly before Wave 2, since Wave 3 is not using the "Mattel factory".
Silverhawks and Tigersharks may come up sooner than expected. I'd have to rewatch Tigersharks because aside the theme song, I don't remember much... aside there being a creature called Dragonstein...
So, assuming that a Silverhawks Wave 1 is announced sometime soon, the question is:
Who would be in Wave 1?
The problem with it Silverhawks is that the toyetic characters are mostly villains.
I can't see people paying $45 for a professor power or Seymour the cab driver if you know what I mean... without counting the back-up Hawks and Stargazer, the Mob outnumbers the Hawks 2-1. That's not counting minor villains like Timestopper, Zero the energy thief and others.
It can be done in 5 waves of 4... All SilverHawks, and all Core Members of the Mob including Melodia
So, my Theoretical Wave 1 of Silverhawls would be:
Mon*Starr: Weakened version:
He'd be a rather "Basic" Figure.
Extra hands, the ORGANIC form of Sky Shadow with cage. And last but not least a second Mon*Star head Mid transformation.
Basically, Depowered Mon*Star screaming, eye glowing and the horns from the transformed form poke out of his head.
The idea is that this head CAN be used on both Bodies.
Melodia:
Like Mon*Star she's pretty "basic" and her main accessories would be extra hands, her weapon, maybe add an energt blast that plugs to the synthesizer gun. Maybe a second head.
Quicksilver:
Now we begin with the more Unique bodies due to the partly metal uh, parts. Like most Silverhawks, he'll require 2 sets of arms: One winged, one wingless. I went with interchangeable arms, because removable wings would either leave unsightly holes on the arms when unused or would require bulkier straps not accurate to the source material. Then the other accessories would be extra hands, Tally Hawk, and the second head with the visor down.
Moonstryker:
He's another "unique" body. He would require extra hands, Tailspin, extra head.
He should come with an alternate Tornado legs. Like MOTUC Hsss or Extendar, he should pop off at the torso. I think he had wings, but I don't remember him ever using them. I remember the Tornado legs though.
While We're at it Let's do a Wave 2, just for kicks:
Mon*Star: Powered up:
Extra hands, sky shadow in cyborg form, his rifle. This one is a unique sculpt but he's the main villain and could use a "Moon Star Of Limbo red GITD transformation variant by combining parts from wave 1 Mon*Star and this one.
Mumbo Jumbo:
This guy would be kinda unique. MAYBE they COULD reuse some parts from Mumm-Ra's powered up form to save costs.
Bluegrass:
He could reuse a couple of parts depending on the line's direction. For him I think that Extra hands, Hotlicks, removable hat, Sideman, and an energy blast usable on both Hotlicks and Sideman would be enough for him.
Condor:
He gets in in order to get some parts that can be reused by Stargazer. Extra head, extra hands, grabbing gun, Jet pack, and Jet stream would be hos accessories.
So, Silverhawks is doable and possibly done faster than Thundercats. Hopefully they can go for Toon looks instead of toy looks.
