Italian Doc Ock Toy Figure

Often there will be a foreign toy that never sees these shores. Such is the case with this Doc Ock figure from Italy. The mechanical claws on the ends of his arms actually spin. Nice design.

Cool Italian Spider-Man Ride!

It shoots web missiles, and is a cool Italian Spider-Man toy vehicle. It’s about as big as 4 Hotwheels put together, and comes in pieces that snap together. Definately stands out as being one of the best Spider-Man toy cars of 2010. Marvel at this!

Puerto Rican Spider-man Parody!

I can’t understand a word they’re singing, but it’s funny nevertheless.

70s Amazing Spider-man Gil Kane Cover Art

The artist Gil Kane who was already famous from his work at Marvel’s rival DC comics started doing the art to Spider-man during the early seventies. He was responsible for some of Spidey’s landmark issues such as when Spider-man’s girlfriend Gwen Stacy was killed by the Green Goblin. Gil had a style that was unmistakable, [...]

Triple Marvel Movie Mash Up Toy Set!

Spider-man, Iron Man, and the Transformers. Highly unusual to find a toy item that is based on 3 different movies. A nice set produced by Hasbro in 2009.

Aurora Spider-man Model 1966

A year before Spider-man became animated for the very first time, the popular model makers Aurora immortalized him in plastic. Not only did they do our friendly neighborhood webslinger, they also included an unconscious Kraven the Hunter. Back in 1966 the model included a plastic plaque with Spidey’s name, a plastic gun, and can. However, [...]

1977 Spider-man Pool Party!

Check out this old 1977 Hampshire advertisement for Spider-man and friends pool products. Vintage Marvel airheads, … for fun just add water. Is that a young Gilbert Gottfried? If so, wheres the AFLAC duck?

Original Sixties Spider-man Cartoon!

Recently in 2004, Marvel and Buena Vista (Disney) released a box DVD set of the old Spider-man cartoon series. All 52 episodes of Spider-Man’s original 1967 classic television series, were completely restored in full color from 1967-1970 all in one set.

1988 Jotastar Spider-man Glitter Stickers!

The 80s and glitter go together like bees and honey. Spider-man and things that “stick”…well,…thats a no brainer. Even Mephisto (pre-OMD), the Red Skull, Doc Ock, Green Goblin, Doctor Doom, and Loki make an appearance. Check out the sticky eye candy below!

Strange Foreign Spider-man Game!

This Italian “Spider-man and Friends” game looks a bit like the American “Hungry Hippos” game I have seen kids play. I find it odd that the treehouse, or clubhouse has english signs, and yet the game box is in Italian. Also the choice of Storm as the fourth character instead of a more popular one [...]

1978 Spider-man Viewmaster!

This 1978 Viewmaster featuring Spider-man graphics on the box is a decade to late. It is clearly based on the 1967 Spider-man cartoon series from Grantray-Lawrence. There wasn’t alot of merchandise during the late sixties based on that cartoon. Oddly enough, once the series was syndicated overseas, we did begin to see foreign merchandise based [...]

The 1970′s Spider-man Figure to Have!

The top Spider-man action figure of the seventies was definately the Mego Spider-man. I often wonder just how many of these were produced during that decade. While it was not the first action figure to don a Spider-man costume (Captain Action owns that title during the 60s), it was the most popular. There were plenty [...]
