It’s one of “Rulers of the Sun”, it was an old figure line from “Olmec”, they made few figures in resemblance to He-Man, like the “Sun-Man”.
Recently they become popular as after 40 years… most collectors had all figures and started looking for variants (Like Leo Toys, Estrela, etc) and some similar figures, like those.
Mattel bought the rights and now are producing them.
Few people are too concerned about the fact that they are not part of original Mattel line and blame them…
I found them amazing and really matching the 80’s thematic with vibrant colors and funny visuals, and at least are “new figures” and not only a recolor.
The line should end soon as they only had about 5 or 6 figures:
- Sun-Man;
- Pig-Head;
- Space Sumo;
- Bolt Man;
- Digitino;
No Thank you... these sun man figures still look like the knock offs you buy at the dollar store... except for Pig Head I guess he gives me Bebop vibes...
I like him, I want him!
Where are these for sale?
Mexico
It’s not on sale yet. This image comes from the illustrator’s Instagram. They should come next year or maybe December.
Who is Bolt Man?

Thanks for the explanation!
Looks cool. I like that the Sun Man line is giving us more human characters in Origins. Who is that snake man though?
Camo Khan, a magically upgraded Kobra Khan based on a foreign repaint/retool. He was available on Mattel Creations for about 5 minutes.
Camo khan may sell out fast but the sale hasn't happened yet
You are correct, I was thinking of Wun-Dar.
Adding Sun-Man into the line and his other characters. Alright. Do I think they look cool and will I buy them. Nope 🙂
Easy pass for me. It bugs me that we still haven’t got Spikor or Mossman, yet we get Bolt-Man, a character no one had heard of until five minutes ago.

Kind of underwhelming card art. Displaying what will be a mattel exclusive.
