More info.
Mattel has sent over official photos and full details for their upcoming Sun-Man. Originally created by a Yla Eason, a mother looking to have a superhero that her son could relate to, Sun-Man was a 5.5" tall figure released back in 1986. The figure became part of the Rulers of the Sun toy line from...You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion.

Besides the Mattel Creations exclusive deluxe Sun Man there will be regular retail release versions of Sun Man, Pig Head and Digitino.

I think it's cool and I'm happy for the Sun Man fans but I hope they don't do too much more of this, right away, while we've only gotten one Princess of Power figure. As much as I like a lot of the MOTU knock off lines I don't want to see figures from Warlord, Warrior Beasts, Galaxy Warriors, etc. before Bow, Catra, Kowl, Glimmer, etc. They haven't even done Swift Wind yet.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing.

Even the second version of She-Ra doesn't fit in as well with her soft goods skirt and oversized mask/tiara. She sticks out like a sore thumb in my collection. I don't need her to be Filmation, but the "doll-ness" needs dialed back a lot more IMO.Comment

This is really cool. I didn't know of Sun Man's existence until I got the big Tomart's Guide to Action Figures in the early 90s. Never saw them on the shelf. The only black MOTU-type figure I owned was Machiste from Remco's Warlord line, based on the DC character. I grew out of MOTU before Clamp Champ arrived.

Sun-Man's line consists six figures, and Matty will not do Warlord. I think Mattel will go very deep into MOTU and do more POP--I want Swift-Wind, too. But as noted, the tooling is more intensive.
I'm not worried, except about Mattel Creations.Last edited by PNGwynne; Sep 12, '21, 8:38 AM.WANTED: Dick Grayson SI trousers; gray AJ Mustang horse; vintage RC Batman (Bruce Wayne) head; minty Wolfman tights; mint Black Knight sword; minty Launcelot boots; Lion Rock (pale) Dracula & Mummy heads; Lion Rock Franky squared boots; Wayne Foundation blue furniture; Flash Gordon/Ming (10") unbroken holsters; CHiPs gloved arms; POTA T2 tan body; CTVT/vintage Friar Tuck robes, BBP TZ Burgess Meredith glasses.Comment

If I remember correctly I used to pick them up at K-Mart along with DC Comics Warlord. I even remember picking up those knock-off dragons and other beast there.
Side story: an older guy was looking at the dragons and told me about his daughter who was studying the Nessie and ask me how close this was. We had a lengthy conversation and he was impressed that a kid in Jr. High knew enough to carry on a conversation like an adult.Visit my wiki site:

Yes, K-Mart had a killer selection of that stuff.
