I've read complaints many times about body image and Barbie -- but nothing about He-man. There have been complaints of 'toxic masculinity' in media by feminists -- but nothing about men's body image and unrealistic expectations that I have seen or heard. -- So it seems much more common for there to be complaints about Barbie and the like.
The only time I have observed unrealistic expectations on men's physiques being pointed out are from antifeminists in response to feminists' complaints and from bodybuilders pointing out a problem with hormone use.

Feminist man haters did decry He-man as to masculine and toxic. Is your point the hypocrisy?
