2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

#3 Coming in at number 3 we have two 2025 pick ups that literally brightened things up here on 2 Minute Toy Break. I had been in a bit of a toy funk when these guys showed up in my eBay MOTU Origins search at a very good price for the pair. I snagged them up, they arrived and greatness ensued! Fave Factor: For me it's mostly about the colors with these guys. The colorful combinations of greens, yellows, reds, pinks and smokey blues give Sun-Man and Pig-Head an aesthetic edge over the competition. They don't just pop on display, they shine brilliantly!

There's something very celestial, almost extraterrestrial about this line of figures and I can't get enough of it! Hypno continues that trend with his ability to hipnotize and mesmerize Pig Head and his band of evil doers just with the sound of his voice. Able to see into the future, Hypno and his sidekick Falcon easily get the jump on their opponents.  Look at all this greatness! Sun-Man and The Rulers of the Sun need their own series! 

This group of sun touched heroes are quite the cerebral bunch. So who does Sun-Man call on when the tough questions need answering? Digitino! Blessed with the mind of a computer, Digitino can solve any problem!  Digitino shares a head sculpt with Zap-Man. I'm not a big fan of that. I guess that's how the original figures were, so Mattel is just keeping it true to the Olmec Toys line. I do like Digitino's glow in the dark web gear and staff although I'm not quite sure what kind of powers it has.  The battle wages on! Who will come out on top?

 It's very MOTU-ish to add an "o" at the end of a characters name, which is probably why OLMEC Toys followed suit. I get it. Funny names aside, let's get to know Holographo!  While Kikto relies on hand to hand combat and knife play to fight off the evil forces of Pig-Head, Holographo chooses to fight with his brains. Having the scientific power to manipulate illusions, Holographo can visually confuse the enemy. For example, see that pepperoni and cheese pizza on Holographos chest? Wrong! It's not really a pepperoni and cheese pizza, but I bet you thought it was. I did. So did Pig-Head! Now you're confused, I'm a little bit hungry and Pig-Head's Distracted long enough for Holographo to call on Zap-Man for back up!

I'm having a great time with these figures. Even though they released under the MOTU banner, they feel like a completely different toy line. Today we take a look at Kikto, Sun-Mans right hand Karate man! Kikto is a kickboxer equipped with razor sharp star discs and combat knife.  Kikto is part of the MOTU Origins ROTS 3 pack so you're not going to get a mini comic with these figures. Instead, you get a file card made out of some pretty thick cardboard with character artwork on one side and  bio on the back. What's nice about these cards is that you don't have to cut them out. Clean and finished edges on all 4 sides.  As far as playability goes, everything stays on pretty good. The arm gauntlets have to be pushed up a bit so that they're on tight but it's not a big deal. The leg accessories fit nicely and you can even store his knife on his chest. I do wish the web gear and accessories were silver.  ...

I can't make heads or tails of OLMEC Toys decision to make Sun-Man's archenemy a pig. TMNT predates OLMECS Rulers of the Sun line so maybe, possibly Pig- Head is just a derivative of Bebop. We'll never know. What I do know is that Pig-Head is a pretty damn cool action figure. These Rulers of the Sun figures take me back to the early 80s, when knockoffs and bootlegs were prevalent. I like that they went with a mace as the primary weapon. Weapons of precision ( I. e. crossbow or sword)  woudn't have made much sense for a bruiser like Pig-Head.  I really like Pig-Head and for the price I think he's totally worth adding to your collection.
