Product Description

Editorial Review

Spider-man is battling the nefarious and powerful Doc Ock in this ornate and amusing playset. Various interlocking sidewalk pieces are included, which help to form an urban scene along with street lamps, a water tower, and dumpster. But these are not mere set dressing, Spidey can swing (albeit somewhat laboriously) from street lamp to street lamp, swing around the water tower, and trap Doc Ock in the dumpster with the help of a special collapsible platform. A motorized getaway car is also featured for whichever character wins the battle. Three-inch action figures of Spider-man, Doc Ock, and some sort of bizarre lizard guy are included and all three are impressively articulated given their size. --Charlie Williams

I recently purchased the Spider-Man Stunt System for my son at Toys R Us for Christmas.

Let me just start off by saying that your company has a lot of nerve for even attempting to sell this toy. It is really not a toy at all, but rather the equivalent of being robbed. The toy does NOT work as advertised, AT ALL. I have a 6 year old who day in and day out wanted this piece of CRAP toy since September and whose heart was broken when it simply DID NOT WORK AT ALL. I am not the only person to have the same issues. Other disgruntled parents are having the same issues. [...]

MUCH THANKS FOR RUINING MY 6 year olds Christmas morning. We will be sure we never buy a TOY BIZ product ever again.

I also happen to be a mechanical engineer incase you are wondering if it is "just me."

Save yourself some $$$. This toy sucks. I bought it for my son for Christmas 04. Let me tell you that this thing sucks plain and simple. 1. Spiderman actually goes from post to post 1 out of 20 times. 2. The so called traps that come with this toy such as the web dropping and the platform in which the bad guy is supposed to stand on is crap. Complete CRAP. It hardly stays up and when it does a little tiny tap will make it fall down again. This will ONLY frustrate the living crap out of your child. I wish I did not even purchase this and spent my money on something else like a game for his Playstation 2 or XBox.

This toy had a lot of promise. My Kids and I love Spiderman! This was to be an assembled toy for Christmas morning for my 9 yr and 4 yr old boys. I spent 2 hours Christmas eve taking the toy out of the box, assembling it and attempting to get spidey to travel from lamp post to lamp post. Even my Mechanical engineering degree did not help. I finally took one of the lamp post completly out of spidey's path and made several adjustements to the plastic joints. Spidey began traveling all the way to the target on about 1 out of 10 attempts. Then, when he did hit the target most of the time the ledge or net would not fall and capute the bad guy. I didn't even attempt the landing on the car. I boxed it all up and will be returning it. This toy is headed back to the manufacturer!!
