After his blockbuster movie sequel in 2007, Marvel’s ever popular wall-crawling, web-spinning Super Hero is back in full swing this year, serving as the inspiration behind a web of new Hasbro Spider-Man toys, including a line based on the new animated TV series, “The Spectacular Spider-Man.”
The crown jewel of Hasbro’s 2008 Spider-Man lineup includes the first-ever Spider-Man toy that actually scales walls! For kids wanting to join Spidey in his crime-fighting escapades, Hasbro offers the SPINNING WEB BLASTER. And action figures featuring characters from The Spectacular Spider-Man join new offerings of action figure heroes and villains from the entire Spider-Man universe.
REMOTE CONTROL WALLCRAWLER SPIDER-MAN
(Approximate Retail Price: $49.99; Ages: 5+; Available: Fall 2008)
Everyone knows that Spider-Man scales Manhattan skyscrapers, but does he ever take his skills indoors? This fall, Spider-Man will scale bedroom and family room walls everywhere with the REMOTE CONTROL WALLCRAWLER, a remote controlled toy Spider-Man with amazing motorized vacuum-pump technology that allows Spidey to literally crawl up and down walls! An infrared controller that attaches to the wrist allows kids (and adults!) to control the wall-crawlin’ fun!
SPINNING WEB BLASTER

New to the line of popular web blasters introduced in 2007, the SPINNING WEB BLASTER comes with everything kids need to be like the web-slinger himself! The set comes with a Spider-
