Toyfare: The Toy Magazine #161
In a surreal dream-hopping adventure, He-Man must navigate shifting levels of fantasy—ranging from space battles to a surreal showdown with Orko, Skeletor’s former lover—while trying to rescue King Randor from a trap set by a deceptive Skeletor. As time runs out and reality blurs, the team’s desperate attempt to uncover He-Man’s true identity leads to an unexpected revelation: he only projects himself dancing. When the dreamers wake, Skeletor remains trapped in the dream world, now in control of his own realm. Written by Justin Aclin, Jon Gutierrez, Rob Bricken, T. J. Dietsch, and Carlos Mejia, with art, inks, and colors by Dan Reilly, this issue blends whimsy and tension in a unique take on the classic heroes and villains.

In the dreams, Skeletor pretends to be Faker Skeletor, and He-Man follows them to "rescue" Randor. They only have minutes before Trap Jaw wakes up. Beast Man is fighting in one dream level, one level is in space, and then in the current level He-Man is killed by Orko, who is Skeletor's ex-lover. They take He-Man to a vault where they hope he would project his secret identity, but he only projects He-Man dancing. They all wake up, except now Skeletor is in his own dream.
