Spider-Man 2: Doc Ock's Hide-Out (4856) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)"Spider-Man 2: Doc Ock's Hide-Out" represents the climax of the blockbuster film from the summer 2004 that is about to make it to the Top 10 list of all time money makers. Doctor Octopus has kidnapped Mary Jane and taken her back to his secret hideout at a crumbling, abandoned pier. Not only is Spider-Man on his way to rescue the woman he loves but so is Harry Osborn who is heading towards the scene in his speedboat. Yes, you are right, Harry never had a speedboat in the movie and he was too busy talking with his dead father Norman about becoming the next Green Goblin in "Spider-Man 3" to do anything about saving MJ. But his is a toy and while Harry has a speedboat there is also a catapult you can use to get Spidey to the rescue a lot faster by sending him flying towards the hideout, although he also has "webbing" to swing on. Doctor Octopus has his new and improve fusion reactor to play with, which leaves only MJ just to hang around as the requisite damsel in distress with nothing special as an accessory.

This 480-piece LEGO set includes the figures of Spider-Man, Doctor Octopus, Mary Jane and Harry Osborn, along with the aforementioned items, and obviously you want to be careful with Doc Ock's multiple arms, which are more helpful than you would think for securing him in strange places. The hideout ends up with one side being open so you can see the rescue you are staging, and, of course, you can use your other LEGO blocks to expand what you have here into something even bigger. Other LEGO sets in the "Spider-Man 2" collection are "Spider-Man's Street Chase," "Doc Ock's Bank Robbery," "Spider-Man's Train Rescue," "Doc Ock's Fusion Lab," "Doc Ock's Crime Spree," and "Doc Ock's Cafe Attack." You look at these titles and you are inclined to think that LEGO is siding with the super villain instead of the hero in this one. If you arrange these LEGO sets in the right order you can create a nice little series of tableau's representing the blockbuster film. However, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised that "Doc Ock's Hideout" is the big set in this series, but then it does represent the big finish.

LEGO Spider-Man 2: Spider-Man's Train Rescue Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My five-year-old son put this together, with me just looking over his shoulder and pointing out details in the instructions when he missed something. It's a delight in every way. It has a launcher that works elegantly with just rubberbands. There's lots of opportunity for imaginative play. It was a marvelous learning experience and achievement for him. The instructions were crystal clear and every piece was accounted for. It looks totally 'cool' , but not cheap or flashy, and it's plenty sturdy,I can't say enough to adequately praise this item!

Master Moves Spiderman Training Studio Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My 4 year old LOVES this toy. He calls it his workout and does it about twice a day...:)
However, yesterday, he was punching the Venom side of it, and he hit it a little too hard. It shot back up and the plastic speaker/switch part of it hit him in the face and gave him a bloody nose. Ouch! They should cover that with something softer.

SpiderMan 2 Movie Action Figure Spin Kick SpiderMan Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This Spiderman movie figure is pretty much just like all the other millions of them available. Pretty much the same in articulation and appearance. True to the movie character 100%. Personally, I do not like the movie adaptation as well as the figures from the Spiderman Classics line-which are more true to the comic book. If it weren't for the popularity and success of the comic book, there would be no movie. However, the nice thing about these figures are the accessories that come with them. This one has a damaged subway car and 4 Doc Ock bendable tentacles to attach to it for Spidey to kick off. The tentacles are too heavy to have them stay in any one particular pose and the pinchers on them get loose quickly and aren't very durable. But, they look good. The special kicking action of the Spiderman figure broke 5 minutes after my son opened it. Which is OK by me because Spiderman figures are a dime a dozen and it doesn't do anything else other than being "superposeable". Unless you want a fairly nice and unique accessory to go with other Spiderman figures, this is the way to go. If you use a little imagination, all the accessories ToyBiz has made could be arranged together to resemble a small city block. Otherwise, spend your money on the Spiderman Classics line of figures.
