How exactly that character got made, and why it’s not in the new line of He-Man toys (dubbed “Origins”) slated to hit stores this fall, however, is its own saga.
Today the toy goes for close to twice the original $35 sticker price on eBay, making a compelling argument that-with plenty of He-Man reboots now in development-parent company Mattel should be producing more of him. Laughing Prince Adam was a limited edition. It’s a theory posited by culture critics like Sam Anderson at Slate (“In the ever-growing lineup of ‘outed’ classic superheroes, He-Man might be the easiest target of all”) and geek repositories like the animation-news site Cartoon Brew, which has explored “He-Man’s Five Gayest Adventures.” There are even comparative power rankings (see: Daily Beast’s “Gay Characters on Children’s TV” and Comic Book Resources’ “Queer Heroes: 15 Superheroes Who Are Gay Icons”).
