Vac Metal Quicksilver
This new toy variant version of Quicksilver is an absolutely stunning piece of art! The vac metal finish of his suit looks incredible! Brian Flynn confirmed that this is indeed a vac metal finish just like his vintage counterpart! He comes with a masked and unmasked head, winged and unwinged arms, alternate hands, and his trusty bird companion, Tallyhawk! This version of Quicksilver even includes the green Silverhawks logo on his chest, just like the vintage figure had! The one thing I do need to note is that the vintage figure looks much more silver in color than the new Super7 version which looks more chrome like in color.
Quicksilver looks just stunning in a flying pose with either one of his heads!

Vac Metal Quicksilver Figure Details
The overall color scheme of Quicksilver is a stunning homage to his vac metal counterpart of the 1980’s, complete with his green tampo’d Silverhawks logo on his chest. His body has a suit of a very shinny vac metal finish that covers his whole body aside from the lower part of his right arm and face. He has a shiny vac metal belt buckle sculpted on his waist and is a nice accent to his costume.
He comes with an extra set of arms that have vac metal silver wings attached to them so he can look like he is in flight. The paint app on his right arm is evenly applied.
Quicksilver comes with his trusty friend, Tally-Hawk. Tally-Hawk with his wings spread wide open in flight, and his mouth is open as if he is screaming. His legs and head are articulated and can move. The colors on this version of Tally-Hawk are the same as the vintage figure and different from the first cartoon release.
You can perch Tally-Hawk on Quicksilver’s arm, although he doesn’t get that tight of a grip, and tends to fall off fairly easily. But he looks very cool there! Here you can see how the flying version looks on his arms, and it just added to that vintage nostalgia of this figure!
Let’s take a look at some of the close ups of this figure below. Here we have his two different alternate heads. The first is the unmasked version, which has an excellent face sculpt that closely resembles the way he looked in the cartoon but has a nice rosy color on his face that he first version of Quicksilver did not have. The second is his helmeted version and looks very cool as well!
You can see how both the winged versions and non winged versions give him a variety of looks.
Some additional close ups of Quicksilver. You can see how spectacular his Silverhawks tapo logo on his chest looks and just is the chef’s kiss to this figure’s deco!
We also get a close up look at his left and right regular arms and his legs.

Quicksilver Vintage Figure
Released in 1986, Quicksilver’s vintage action figure was the star of the line with it’s shinny vac-metal finish and being the leader of the group, it was the figure that every kid wanted! It showcased his distinctive appearance from the animated series, including his metal wings and cybernetic enhancements. The vintage Quicksilver was designed to resemble the character and featured his signature colors and details. He came with his trusty bird friend, Tally-Hawk! Pictured below is Quicksilver from my personal collection, the only vintage Silverhawk I own, but I love him!
