This figure is great and is a must for any Spiderman fan. Yeah, it isn't articulated that well (but, still very poseable). And, yeah, it's not a new sculpt--just another recycled Spiderman Classics figure with a different paint job. But, it is a figure of a character in the Spiderman world. This is Ben Riley. He is the clone of Peter Parker who takes over for the real Spiderman for a while. Ben convinced Peter that Peter was the clone from Professor Miles Warren's (a.k.a The Jackal) cloning experiments. Peter stepped down for a while to enjoy a quiet life with Mary Jane. Never thought we'd see that, huh? In any case, this is the costume Ben wore while taking over for Peter. ToyBiz should do this kind of thing more often. There are several different suits Spiderman has wore in the past. They could do them all under this series of figures. We need an updated version of the symbiote black costume, the Scarlet Spider costume, Spiderman Unlimited, and Spiderman 2099. They sell Batman figures in costumes he never wore in the comic books. Why not make Spiderman figures in costumes he has wore in the comic books over the years. This figure was a great idea. Recycling an old scuplt for a completely seperate character in the Spiderman world.

Well, Amazon calls this "Missile Launcher" Spider-Man, but for all of you Toyfare readers out there, it's really just Web-Attack Spider-Man.

I recently purchased this Spider-Man, because I thought it would be cool to have a Ben Riley spider-clone for my collection. Well, I must say that I was dissapointed with this action figure. For only being the seconde Ben Riley Spidey in exhistance, you think that Toy Biz would have put a little more effort into this toy. It's not even a new scuplt, he's all completely used parts from various Spider-Man classics action figure.

If you are a Spider-Man fan, I think you may like to purchase this toy, however the real prize of this wave is the Carnage action figure, I nabbed him before Amazon ran out! I like him a lot!

Maybe next time Toy Biz makes a Ben Riley, the will remember to at least sculpt the webbing on Spidey's body. Shame, Shame Toy Biz.

This is truly one of the best SpiderMan toys I have ever seen. I was very happy when I saw this at the Target store. I thought Whoa a Ben Riley toy.(the first I have ever seen, but what I understand the 2nd made) I just had to buy it.When I did I was happy about what I got. From all my SpiderMan toys this is one of my favorite ones. I think it is able to play with but not too flexable so it can go anyway that you want his body parts to go.So if you see this I think you should get it.
