Spider-Mania!

Not that he ever really goes out of style but Spider-Man seems to have seen a real resurgance of merchandising, probably due to the CBS live action series which I loved as a kid and now doze to as an adult.

The Spider-Man drawing machine is an especially terrific toy, a friend of mine left one at my house for over a decade, I played with it a lot. I also like how there are two car sets on this page, kind of funny considering Peter Parker usually can't afford bus tokens.

Super Fun: The guys at Action Figure Insider created this clever commercial as an April Fools Prank yesterday, it's a modernization of the Kenner Super Powers Commercials but it also serves as a great parody of modern action figure collectors.



Speaking of Spider-Man: The Mego Marvel Comics Superheroes are being praised at the World's Greatest Toys Blog.

  2. I think that drawing machine is the coolest thing ever! I would love to have one for myself. Question, though: are you supposed to use crayons with it?
