I realized I never gave these guys their own thread though they are posted in my Best of the 80s thread .
Tigersharks were the water heroes of the trilogy of land Thundercats and air Silverhawks though they never became as popular as the other two in the 80s. Mako Dolph Lorka Octavia T-Ray

Good looking figures. Until recently I didn't know anything really about the show. Not until I saw aToy Galaxy on it. I loved the Silverhawks and my little brother was a Thundercats fan. But we didn't even know about the Tigersharks. For years I thought that Silverhawks was a Kenner property only, so they would be part of the Hasbroverse. The Thundercats were made by LJN,so I didn't even think twice about them being connected. What a failure on their part for not making it obvious that they share the same universe.

I never even heard of these. I like when people do this, and make me aware of things I might have overlooked or forgotten about when I was a kid.

Well, you should check out my Best of the 80s custom thread. There are some I've made that I wasn't even familiar with like Battle Beasts and Inhumanoids.

Most of the toy lines in your 80’s thread, I at least heard of, even if I wasn’t too familiar with them. Tigersharks was one I NEVER heard of. Haha. Since you said it, could definitely see that Thundercats / Silverhawks style to their animation. Watched their intro, need to check out an episode of two and look at the original toys.
Another group that just took so much imagination fully recreate and you nailed it! Love all of the sculpting you did here. Such a cool project so always awesome to see when you knock out a big group.

Yeah the show wasn't on the same level with Thundercats and Silverhawks. Thanks.
