Written by Mattel has transformed (with the power of Havoc apparently) their eleventh Masters of the Universe minicomic from their Origins toyline into a motion comic! And this time they are taking the opportunity to acknowledge Sun-Man and the Rulers of the Sun‘s 40th Anniversary!
Now if you didn’t know, a motion comic is an animated comic that takes static comic art and combines it with animated elements, music, and sound effects. And what Mattel says is the latest comic they have transformed into a motion comic as a four decade long nod to Sun-Man, is the thrilling minicomic “Sun-Man Rises”. But there is a catch…
Surprise! When you actually watch the motion comic, while the comic cover in the video is indeed “Sun-Man Rises“, the pages Mattel animated are actually from the minicomic “The Horrors of Pig-Head“…. and it is an incomplete retelling of that story at that.
So whatever this mixup is exactly, you can click here to watch it on the Mattel Creations YouTube Channel or just watch it embedded below:
Fans of Sun-Man deserve better.
We’ll see you next time.
Sun Man just can’t get a break. 🤣
Damn. LMAO This is what you get when you legalize pot.

This is what happens when you realize it’s black history month too late and hand the task to the lowest paid intern!
Normally I would scoff at this but how would a professional make such an error? Stated quite simply they wouldn’t.
I’d prefer they would celebrate it with a new Sun Man Origins figure release with a head that is closer to the Masterverse version or that limited 3 pack instead of a comic they don’t even get right. You know; kinda like actually putting some effort in it instead of what looks like a last minute afterthought.
