3D model description

**UPDATE: I re-uploaded the .ZIP file with the Wings file included and keyed correctly. The file uploaded to mediafire is at 5 times smaller scale, so I leave it to no effect. Thank you very much and please excuse my mistake.


**Model based on Sun-Man, character released in the bootleg line "SUN-MAN AND THE RULERS OF THE SUN".

The figure respects the original vintage size of 5.5 inches and is divided into 7 parts: head, torso, both arms, waist and both legs. It has cylindrical connectors to generate a certain joint. The set is completed with accessories: wings, shield and weapon.

You may have difficulty articulating due to the complex design of the clothing.

*Sun Man gives Black children a sense of power that goes beyond fantasy. When Olmec Corp. arrived in Washington last weekend as part of their Sun Man promotional tour, Black Children They stood in line for hours waiting for a chance to see what he looked like. The black children's eyes lit up at the sight of Sun Man. They were so proud, so pleased, that they left the store with their chests puffed up and their heads held high. (...) In many ways, Sun Man is like any other action figure. (...) Yla Eason, President of Olmec, said she wanted to create a black action figure that was different from the GI Joe types not only in color, but also in attitude. Sun Man, he insists, does not use violence to defeat evil, but intelligence. (...) " Praise the sun man, superhero.

By Courtl and Milloy - December 9, 1986 - Washington Post*.

**The genesis of this toy line came from a woman named Yla Eason, whose young son told her that she didn't think he could be a superhero like He-Man because He-Man is white. She went out to buy her son a black action figure, but she couldn't find any of it. After conducting market research and seeing a lack of representation in the market, she founded a company called Olmec Toys that created the Sun-Man figures and turned the line into a $5 million dollar company.
