The Undiscovered Playthings

Nope! The title of this post is not a typo. Well, at least it’s not my typo. I only type it the way I see it.

This thing’s been in my collection for years and always gives me a good laugh whenever I look at it. I mean, come on! What were they smoking at the bootleg toy factory the  day they put the card together? Whoever set the type for the name of this thing managed to swap the A and the E. Of course they managed to compound their mistake by slapping the typo a couple more times on the card. What kind of font did the bootleggers use? Is it something they came up with on their own?
Well, enough with the name of this thing. The bootleggers managed to pack a Spider-Man figure, a Spidey themed motorcycle (with sound!) and a few leftover accessories that have been seen in other bootleg Spider-Man toys throughout the years.

The cardback features plenty of stolen images from what I imagine are a Spider-Man video game (my guess is the Spider-Man 2 video game). This set also features Poseable Rction Figure. Well, I guess an R does look sort of an A.

You know, I’ve bought some pretty rotten looking Spider-Man bootleg figures before. Most of them really bad ones I’ve come across are from our neighbors to the south. But this one is actually a miserable looking Spider-Man figure. Trust me, the picture does not do credit to the quality of this thing. If you’re curious, this Spider-Man stands tall at seven inches.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. What’s the deal with Spider-Man and motorcycles? It’s not like Peter Parker could really afford one, could he? I certainly don’t remember a motorcycle like this one in the Spider-Man 2 movie. Although looking at this thing, it would’ve been pretty darn cool. Of course, the bootleg toy makers have used this motorcycle before. The same bike with some small changes were featured in THIS bootleg toy from years past. (if you missed it, click on the word THIS).
There’s access to a button on the motorcycle (right above the TRY ME), but when I push it, nothing happens. I am pretty sure it’s not a failure on the toy’s part. Most likely the battery just died. Unfortunately, I don’t remember what happens when the button gets pushed.

So that’s it for the Spidar-Men 2 bootleg set. This thing is certainly has one of the most memorable bootleg toy line names that I’ve ever come across.
