This is a nice Spiderman figure. Even though he looks too skinny and the webbing on his costume looks too close together when compared to other ToyBiz Spiderman figures, it has other redeeming qualities. This figure has decent--and more useful--articulation than most figures. Head, neck, shoulders, arms, elbows, mid forearms, waist, hips, knees, mid-shin, and ankles all bend and/or rotate. It has an interchangeable head so that you can pose him with a Peter Parker head so it seems as if he has taken off his mask for a little fresh air. He has two fists instead of the overused "web shooting" pose. Personally, I think this is wonderful. Spidey can finally trade punches with the bad guys instead of spin webs all the time. Also, the joint at the waist only turns far enough to the left or the right to allow the spring action inside to work and make it look like Spidey is throwing a punch. Again, I think this is great. All the other Spiderman action figures we have bought have this joint and it turns the figure all the way around 360 degrees. No one can do that in real life. Not to mention that it is also the first joint that gets loose and his body will twist and turn around even when you don't want him to. The accessory is OK. The Shocker can be "trapped" to the wall that he is permanently attached to by "punching" him. The webbing that traps him doesn't always wrap around the Shocker every time it is activated. Only the Shocker's head moves, unfortunately. It would have been real nice to have him as a separate action figure, though. Or, they could have made it a 2-in-1 action figure pack. A good product for kids.

This figure is okay. It's the only toybiz figure I own. But do not be fooled there are some flaws. The Spiderman figure isn't quite as durable as I expected but I love that you can change the head from Spiderman mask to Peter Parker but it dosen't look like any of the comic book or movie Peter Parkers I've seen. His hair is to dark. The Shocker figure is attached to the wall. Personally I hate this because was expecting a seperate villain figure of the Shocker since I have no others. The Shockers head is the only thing that moves. Oh, And on the picture on amazon, it dosen't show the right Spiderman. In the picture he's taller, his head is smaller and his hand can unfold. In the real figure he's short, His head is slightly bigger and his hands are stuck in a fist. Though at least he's not always spinning webs like the other figures of spiderman. So I love that he can do more with punches then recieve them. Unfortunely, the so-called burglar trapping action almost never works and you usaully are forced to push The Shocker. In overall a great toy.
