My Top 10 From 2025 #1

 #1

Sun-Man and the Rulers of the Sun Is a toy line created in 1985 by Yla Eason (Olmec Toys) to diversify the action figure aisles after her son stated that he could never be He-Man because he was African American. In 2022 Mattel reissued the Sun-Man line of figures in single, deluxe and 3 packs. 

Fave Factor: I haven't had this much fun with an action figure line since I went on that DC Spin Master binge a few years back. With the Sun-Man ROTS line, you either hated it or loved it. I think it's quite obvious what side of the fence I sit on. Aesthetics, Play-ability, and more importantly price have a lot to do with that. I had a blast posing and playing with these guys. Reused head sculpts, over the top accessories and colors give them a bootleggish feel, but I think that's what I love about them the most and what most like about them the least. I think Holographo's lenticular chest plate is the coolest! Yes, Zap-Man's mini tower arm bands look like Parcheesi game pieces but It's different and unlike anything we've seen with any other MOTU character. His removable helmet is epic and that color scheme! And then there's Kikto's removable disc blades, Hypno's pet falcon, Digitino's glow-in-the-dark futuristic digital web-gear, Space-Sumo's removable ninja mask! Not shown here, because I haven't picked them up yet, is Duplico and Bolt-Man who are both great figures in their own right. 

Well that just about wraps up my top 10 of 2025 list. This was, admittedly, the most work I've done on this blog in a long time! I had fun putting this list together but I'm glad it's over. I plan on mixing it up a bit for the next couple of posts. Stay tuned!
