2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

 #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 ...

I didn't know what to make of this line at first. I had seen the Sun-Man Man figure showcased on various action figure blogs and channels but didn't pay much attention. Why the sudden interest you ask? He was selling for a very low price on eBay along with his archenemy Pig Head, so I nabbed them up! Let's take a look at the lines protagonist, Sun-Man!  The story behind Sun-Man and the Rulers of the Sun dates back to 1985, when Yla Eason ( best mom ever), founder of OLMEC toys, created a line of action figures her son could identify with. The line consists of predominantly black characters and was deliberately created in the same vein as He-man MOTU figures.The backstory is interesting and one worth looking up. As far as the figure goes, it's a nearly identical remake of the original with updated articulation.  Sonetimes...
