Sun-Man the hero has a pretty wild origin story, but Sun-Man the action figure’s origin story is better. After her three-year-old son Menelik told her he couldn’t be a superhero because he was Black, Yla Eason created Sun-Man and the Rulers of the Sun, a group of multi-ethnic heroes whose toys were bestsellers in the ‘80s. Now, after a brief appearance by Sun-Man as a Mattel online exclusive last year, he and his fellow Rulers of the Sun are officially joining the Masters of the Universe toyline. Sun-Man has just gone on pre-order now, and other Rulers should become available early this year. Check ‘em out!
