3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Collectible, but not worth the money as play toy, June 8, 2003

This review is from: Spider-Man Alleyway Playset (Toy)

We just set this set up for our sons, and were very disappointed in it. It easily tips over when they try to play with it, and the snapping arm that is supposed to sring spiderman up in the air doesn't snap into place like it says it is supposed to. The piece that hangs off the top for Spiderman to hang from easily falls off, and is basically useless. My boys are making the best of it, but I don't see this toy lasting more than a couple days...it is just very cheaply made.

This playset is fun for kids. It has a lot of neat things for Spiderman to do and your child can battle his favorite villain and have a nice little backdrop for the adventure. It comes with a stretchy, sticky web so Spidey can snag villains or cling to it himself above the ground. Also comes with a zipline, a dumpster that lifts and rotates Spiderman in the air, and a pole at the top for Spiderman to swing around from. The Spiderman figure has magnetic feet so he can adhere to the sign on the brick wall or from underneath the balcony. The downside of the toy is that the Spiderman figure doesn't have magnetic hands-which would have been nice. It's rather top-heavy. The sticky web doesn't stay sticky very long after it has been handled or dropped on the carpet where it can pick up lint. And, washing it doesn't help. There really isn't a good way for you to position the web on the playset, either. There are little hooks all over the playset for you to secure the web to, but they don't seem to be in the right spots for the web to stretch out and look cool or to catch and trap villains. The box may show you that it can, but it really can't. I have had no problems with broken parts or things not working the way they should. I think some people expect too much from this toy. Or, they just don't realize how ToyBiz operates. All in all, a good buy and fun for kids.

I could not be more disappointed in this toy. My son received it as a present. It was broken when it came out of the box. The balcony did not stay on and the flipping arm did not work as shown. I brought it back to Toys R Us where it was purchase. They kindly gave me a new one. The new one had the same problems. This toy was obviously poorly designed and improperly tested.
