Came out too late to capitalize on He-Man's popularity

One of the reasons the film flopped because the popularity of the cartoon and toyline was ending, the cartoon ended two years before the film was made, when they were making the film there was a huge decline in toy sales which Mattel lost 400 million dollars on, when the film came out it was pretty much promoting a dead toyline. Perhaps if it was made a few years earlier things could've been different or maybe it should've been made now were it would have a bigger audience most of them adults who grow up playing with the toys and watching the cartoon.
