Great Idea, poorly exicuted
Great idea, still played with some, but not how you would expect. For the money it was a disappointment in durability and design and caused lots of frustation.

Hood: The latch on the hood doesn't work properly. From day 1 it wouldn't hold the hood down all the way. The part that holds the glider onto Spidy is the hood (so the hood is taken on and off the car alot, and now the latch doesn't work at all.)

Glider: Flying Spidey is their favorite part. However, not all of it can be stored in the car - not enough room, the wings and bullets are stored seperately - poor design idea.

Bullets: The body of the bullets are made from a materal that is coiled, (this is how they spring out.) The problem with this is that the coiled material is flimsy and wears out quickly, so the bullets no long "launch". Also, getting them loaded is a little tricky, you have to push the steering wheel down while opening both headlights and loading the bullets, closing quickly before they launch on their own. It just takes practice, the bullets however don't last long, so by the time they get the hang of it, they stop working. (This happened within a few days of purchase) I've seen many other toys (buzz lightyear for example) that have bullets that are all durable plastic with a lauching mechanism in the launcher that hasn't gone bad yet, this way would have been better.

The claw - good idea, still works like it is supposed to, but it is rarely played with by my boys.

How is the car played with now? My boys drive the car around, without the hood or driver, and crash it into things. Spiderman wears the glider and flys around everywear.

Next toy sort the car will probably get tossed, but we'll keep the glider and wings for Spidey.

Not actually in the film, but my kids love it!
This Spider-Car is a great toy. My kids love playing with it, and most of their Spider-Man figures fit inside. I'm not sure why they released this, but I think it was a good idea since it's a nice, fun, whimsical toy. ... Read more

THE FIRST RELEASE OF THIS FIGURE WAS BETTER...
This is another repackaged Spiderman Classic figure that ToyBiz decided to put out with different hands and different accessories and called it "new". They seem to do that a lot. Instead of coming out with additional villains or other Spiderman characters, they give us this garbage. This sculpt was done first on the Punching Peter Parker with Burglar Trapping Actions figure. A better figure than this one. This figure has the same articulation as the Punching Peter Parker and the joints stay pretty tight. The accessory is OK, but doesn't sell the item. Save your money--pass on this one and get the Punching Peter Parker figure instead. You'll be glad you did. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Part of the line of official Spider-Man 2 (B00005JMQW) movie merchandise, this toy finds Peter Parker's alter ego perched along a stone wall with four mechanized tentacles extending from around the back. The push of a button sets the tentacles in motion and sparks the superhero's "spider-sense," lighting his eyes; he then jumps from the wall to escape. The feature may bore kids quickly. The real catch here, so to speak, is the Spider-Man action figure, which is lean, sturdy, and exceptionally well designed; nearly every body part swivels, right down to his fingers and toes. The toy runs off of three button-cell batteries, included. --Andy Boynton ... Read more

Such an Absolute Disappointment!
My brother bought a whole set of Spiderman toys for my son including this piece. It is sitting in our garage and is completely undone. It looked big and promising but it just did not work. He was looking forward to this toy very much and was extremely excited but then each piece started falling apart and in the end, it just turned out to be another Spiderman junk. I am writing this review because we have an enormous amount of Spiderman toys which are really a waste of money and all of them, a total disappointment. My son is a serious spiderman enthusiast so he always forces us to get him these spiderman toys and then we have to handle the disappointment that spills off the next few minutes. At least, my son has still the movie to look for. All we know is we are not buying ANYMORE spiderman toys going forward.

Fun Toy
My son got this for Christmas and has loved it!! He plays with it for hours and also takes it in the bath with him. He really seems to get enjoyment out of it. The only downfall I've encountered is that the plastic cockpit peice has fallen off a million times, so we just took it off permenantly. Other than that we've had great fun with this.

OK toy
Overall, my son likes this toy. Yes, it is true that the blades fall off occasionally, but they pop right back on. The plastic cockpit can be put back on as well if it falls off. Not the most durable toy, but not the worst either.

The Box Keeps This Toy Together
My son was so excited to get this toy for his sixth Birthday, but this toy was falling apart as soon as it was taken out of the box.
The cockpit plastic fell out and wouldn't re-assemble. The missles in the front don't work properly (we were only able to get it to work once.) One of the side pieces fell off. The villian grabbing claws of justice do not work. As soon as you pull the trigger to spin the rotors the blades pop out.
My son had to talk me out of trying to fix this toy after half an hour.
Poor Spider-Man! This helicopter must have been designed by one of his super-villians! ... Read more

Editorial Review

We're not entirely certain if Spider-man has been hanging out with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles lately, or even if such crossover is technically possible in the complex mythology of urban superheroes, but in this action figure set Spidey is equipped with a most Turtlesque bit of weaponry: the ability to shoot pizzas at bad guys. Spider man rides a small red scooter and the pizzas are expelled from a basket on the back of the scooter. The action figure portion of this set is impressive, well-articulated and cast in darker hues. Somewhat strangely, there are two detachable heads offered, one of Spider man in costume and the other of Peter Parker. So if you ever need a random floating head of actor Tobey Maguire, this is a good option. --Charlie Williams ... Read more

It could have been fun
The Spiderman Web Jet could have been a fun toy, if it had worked properly. The spiderman figure didn't fit well in the "cockpit" and it was a pain to close and then would pop open, even without being "ejected". The wing parts fell off often and after one day, both my sons gave up trying to play with it, because it was too frustrating. They still play with the little spiderman figure. All in all, I think the toy was a disappointment, but we have been pleased with the other spiderman toys-Spiderman w/offroad cycle,spider vs venom,etc

Cool toy
Spiderman sits in an ejector seat and pops out with the pull of a back jet fin.My savvy 3-yr old loves it but gets frustrated - difficult to eject Spidey unless you hold jet from the edges or underneath (probably more suitable for 4 yrs +).The action figure has moveable arms/legs (which has been favored over the figure that comes with a motorcycle which stays in "crouching" position).My major complaint is that one of the wings/fins falls off easily within 15 mins. of standard boy play (they slide in)- but I guess better to slide off than break off! ...

Was fun while it lasted
We bought this for my son's birthday. He loved (5 stars) it until... after about 15 minutes, it no longer bumped and went. (1 star) It just ran in place. I'll have to return it to the store and try again.

I would have rated the "How much fun is this toy?" higher if it had actually worked. When the car was running correctly it was FANTASTIC! Too bad that didn't last. ... Read more

awesome spidey for a young one!
I bought this spiderman a year ago for my 3 year old son and he loved it so much that he has carried it around all year. It is large and soft, kind of perfect for a little boy to get attached to. It has suction cups, so you can stick him on windows or the fridge. His arms are not in their joints anymore, but my son did really give this doll a LOT of attention this year, and he doesn't even seem to notice that his arms are not in the joints anymore. This was an excellent buy. ... Read more

Big Quality For Little Money
I was just blown away by the multiposeability of this figure.The figure alone is worth the money.But with the magnets in the hands and feet all kinds of poses can be done,not just on the flagpole,but on refridgerator or other metallic surfaces.Any spiderman or comic book enthusiast will really enjoy this.The only drawback is the lightweighted flagpole that doesn't stay up when he is spiraling down.I still enjoy it when holding the flagpole.Just like his position can be suspended in the middle of flagpole as pictured so can the flagpole be stabilized by waits or whatever.Not only is this a good bargain for its normal price (...).

Magnets!
First off, the figure CAN be posed just like the picture. Secondly, it has MAGNETS!!. There's a lot more places you can stick this thing other than the provided pole (how about the fridge door and desk lamps). The magnets are strong enough so it only needs one hand on a magnetic surface to stick to. Tons of poses are achievable because other than (1) non-articulating fingers and (2) thighs that do not rotate about a typical sitting position (spidey fans know the pose), it is extremely articulate and you can get it to mimic many comic-style poses. I gave it five stars despite the non-articulating fingers and thigh because of this.
Btw, if you want spidey to hang in the middle of the pole and not have that piece slide down, just wrap some of that tie wrap (that the toy comes in) below the "spinner"

one of the coolest spidey toys ever!!!!
WHEN I GOT THIS TOY I THOUGHT IT WAS SO COOL!! BUT PEOPLE, DON'T BE FOOLED BY THE PICTURE ON THE BOX, BECAUSE I TRIED TO COPY IT SEVERAL TIMES AND IT DOESN'T WORK.BUT THE DETAILS SURE GOT WAY BETTER THAN THE FIRST ACTION FIGURES!BUT ONE THING I HATE ABOUT THE TOY IS WHEN SPIDEY IS "SPINNING" DOWN, DUMB TOY TIPS OVER! AND SPIDEY FALLS OFF THE MAGNET AS IT FALLS, BUT HEY, IT'S STILL GREAT TO PLAY WITH.

Cool Spidey
This figure is tons of fun for kids (and big ones, too!) of all ages. The figure has magnets on both hands and both feet. The coloring of the figure is better as opposed to the first movie's figure which was a duller red. This one is a more vibrant red. The articulation has diminished a bit but that is probably for more stability since we have magnets now. I gave durability 4 stars because as with any plastic action figure it can be broken. The flagpole it comes with is enjoyable for kids because the figure will spiral down down and it is a pretty long ride once you connect the three pieces that make up the flagpole. But for displaying purposes it is not cool because the figure will not be sustained mid-pole like one would imagine. It just spirals down once you let go. But toys are for kids right? ;O)
All in all it is a very cool figure, though. Especially the brighter coloring. ... Read more
