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!
May 7th, 2010

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!

Mary Jane in Plastic!

Mary Jane in Plastic!

Coming soon from Hasbro! Although I am a bit perplexed by the dog “Miss Lyon” from the 80′s cartoon being with MJ, as the dog was associated with Firestar in the cartoon “Spider-man and His Amazing Friends”. Still cool though!

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, [...]

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, [...]

Strange Foreign Spider-man Game!
April 20th, 2010

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 [...]

Macman Spider-man 1966 MMMS Vending Item!

Here’s a great MMMS (Merry Marvel Marching Society) vending machine display from 1966 featuring a rubber charm version of Thor. With Spider-man prominently displayed on the card, and the toy only being 10 cents these probably went pretty quick. I know that I have only seen this, and one other example that survives today, so [...]

1978 Spider-man Viewmaster!
April 16th, 2010

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 [...]
