Elements from this story were adapted into a mini-comic, written by Michael Halperin and illustrated by Larry Houston, that came with several Masters of the Universe action figures titled 'Temple of Darkness'. In the comic version, Nepthu is replaced by Skeletor.
The animation of various objects falling out of Orko's hat would be reused in Dree Elle's Return (1983).
The design of the Sand Demon reappeared in Quest for the Sword (1983); The Witch and the Warrior (1983) and Into the Abyss (1984).
The Temple of the Sun was revisited in The Great Books Mystery (1984) and Trouble's Middle Name (1984).
Nepthu transforms from a weak, malnourished man with long hair into a muscular figure based upon Marvel Comics villain Rama-Tut. However, an early, unused design only gave him a wizard's robe and a more cleaned up look.
