Imagine a bastard off-spring of Silverhawks and Barbie with full articulation and you've got the Spectra line of dolls

I still have my Spectra, although over the years the metalic paint has chipped off and now she looks weird.

Probably would have been better if they had made the dolls' bodies a translucent plastic and filled them with paint
I wonder if my Spectra is still in the attic...
Kenner was notorious for clever parts reuse in their toys. A good example of this is their batman returns "shadow wing" batman which was just a retooled silverhawks buck with a batman head,logo,and utility belt slapped on and painted black.

Quicksilver for reference
Another exanple of Kenner parts/figure reuse is the "batjet" and the silverhawks "sprinthawk". Which is just the same vehicle with batman stickers stamped on it and of course painted black.

Kenner reused alot of their previous molds,figures,accesories,etc in their batman lines. Going as far as like role play toys and shit. The "sonic neutralizer" is literally a black stormtrooper blaster with a batman silencer on it.
Kenner isnt the only company that did this though. A bunch of others have too,and one of my favorite examples of this is toybiz's "star blast" wolverine. They got a cable body,popped a wolverine head on it,upscaled it,and called it a day.

Kenner used the Green Arrow Super Powers figure for the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves figure.

Jeez they didn't even bother to make a little bat to sit on top in place of the hawk.

That dog robot thing is disturbing. Imagine some scientists maiming up a dog and placing it's body parts into that robot body

I'm sure at some point in the not too distant future, the brains of pets will be able to be surgically removed after they pass and implanted in animal like robots, same with the cylically I'll and old.
This kind of both sickens and fascinates me in a way because if the "soul" of an animal or human leaves it's host body, what will happen to the brain if it's still living on in an entirely new form?

Being the spiritual successor of the Super Powers line, I was kinda hoping we'd see DCUC Green Arrow as a generic Robin Hood.
Funny thing is, the Prince of Thieves outfit really looks nothing like GA's costume.
