This will probably be a landslide victory. Thundercats for me as well. I watched and enjoyed both shows and towlines. The Silverhawks toys were very cool. I loved the vac metal the figures used. In the end, Thundercats just left more of an impression on me. Plus, I had the light up Sword of Thudera that I used to take with me everywhere!!!

If we are strictly talking toys, then TCats wins out. Show wise though, I think Silverhawks has the upper hand, even though Kenney did both shows.

I love both of these lines and my original vintage figures are displayed prominently in my nerd cave. However, Thundercats had a better assortment of figures and vehicles so they win out...by a hair. That's a tough one!

Really tough choice for me, as I liked the toys for both lines a lot. And the shows were decent (Silverhawks was definitely the better show).
Went with Thundercats, since I had their toys first and they had the Thundertank.

Watching Thundercats and playing with toys from that Thundercats "universe" was by far and away better, no contest. But the actual toys? I have to say Silverhawks were probably better action figures.

I liked the Silverhawks cartoon, but the toys never did it for me (although the villains were very cool). I never had any Thundercats toys but they definitely had more going for them than Silverhawks. It's kind of sad to see Silverhawks getting stomped on this bad, though!

If I had to make a pick based off cartoon, it would be a difficult decision. This is a decision based on toys so I vote Thundercats. Bigger line, better figures, better vehicles, better articulation. Sorry, Hawks.

I shant vote. I hated Thundercats as a kid. (Still hate the original, and cannot understand why it's so popular. It's even worse than Sunbow's tripe).
Meanwhile, I loved the Silverhawks growing up. Though I can't remember anything about it now. However, I did not collect either toyline, and wasn't even aware of toys for either until relatively recently. So I have no business voting on toys I don't have any experience with. I will not judge a toyline based on it's fiction.

Yeah too one sided. Both were good but Silverhawks was a better cartoon and the toys were cooler with that Vac-metalized plastic.

Loved Thundercats growing up but I know it doesn't hold up so well. It was cheesy but no worse than what other cartoons were doing in the 80's. Never saw Sliverhawks or knew they had toys. I still remember Lion-O used to drive around in K.I.T.T. because he was the only figure I had that would fit other than Hasselhoff.

It's good to see at least a few people voted for Silverhawks. It was a damn good show and the toys were pretty good too, but just not big enough to beat TCats.

I hate that these two are up against each other! I absolutely loved Thundercats and Silverhawks as a kid, the shows and the toys. Along with Transformers, they were my top three.
My very first action figure was a Silverhawk. But overall, Thundercats was my favorite. This was such a tough choice. |

Easy pick for me. Never was a fan of Silverhawk show - seemed too cheesy even at the time.
The figures are way too generic, unlike TCats with it's wider range of unique character sculpts. |
