My 6 year old son received this as a gift and went nuts - part of the fun (for him) was actually removing the 30 or so twistie ties from the back. Anyway, he loved it until he tried to pose it and it pinched his hand and he screamed for about 5 minutes (this coming from a bmx, skakeboard "tough guy"). So beware for little hands!

Finally, a gigantic 18" Spider-Man that can do (almost) any pose a real human can do! Clearly it has enough points of articulation. Even comes with a spring-loaded web launcher! The back and sides of the box boast the assorted poses it can do. It truly can be posed into nearly anything. But it also has some drawbacks, read on to find out.

My first impression of the figure (other than undoing a gazillion twist-ties to get it out of the box) has got to be the WEIGHT! It's pretty HEAVY, folks. If you're buying this for a little one, take into the fact of it's gargantuan size and weight. It can be a good thing, but sometimes it's weight is what makes it difficult to stand.

Second was the articulation itself. ToyBiz has a nasty little habit of making articulation points, but yet not making it very tight to HOLD the pose. If you own ToyBiz's stuff, you know what I mean. ToyBiz DID fix this problem on this figure...kind of. It's joints are kind of like gears! Instead of bending to pose, this figure has "gear" type roto-appendages in the pelvis, knee both joints, both arm elbow, foot, and chest joints. (Lego hinge pieces, or Power Ranger Megazord arms, are a moderate example of what I mean). Every single one of finger parts, as well as the toes, wrist, shoulder and thigh parts are like ordinary bend joints, and the head/neck and waist have swivel joints. ...But again, the weight of the figure sometimes is too much for some of the joints, and collapses on itself. (particularly the chest, in my case)

Finally, getting him to STAND was a challenge all in its own! It took me nearly 2 minutes to get him to stand in the same leg position with just a few arm or head changes. The roto-type joints are tight indeed...in fact, TOO tight. I had to use BOTH hands to get the elbow joint to work for the first time. Getting for him to take the pose you want -AND stand him- requires A LOT patience. Standing him wouldn't upset a little kid too much, but having difficulty posing Spidey just because the gear is too tight might.

Overall...I guess I'm pleased with it. But I'm now forced to question the safety of the toy. This IS NOT a standard action figure. It's HEAVY, and could cause alot of damage if thrown or dropped. Even though it says 6 & up, it takes me, a grown man, a lot of effort to pose it the way I want it, not to mention some moderate strength to lift the thing. Don't think dropping it would break it, it's a pretty sturdy, solid plastic build (except for the chest, which would crack under extreme pressure). I suggest buying one of the 12" Movie II figures that shoot water or flip; much less frustrating for younger kids. But hey, I DO think this figure'd make a perfect statue, wall mount, or conversation piece once posed and set in an eye-catching area.

This thing is a triumph of art and design. It's incredibly fun to manipulate the figure in countless ways with it's 67 points of articulation. It's a terrific representation of the character and a great vehicle for dramatic imagination. Wow. I love it.
