Toying Around Reviews - Disney's Marvel Toy Box: Spider-Man
Disney's Marvel Toy Box:
Spider-Man
Today we will be taking a look Spider-Man from Disney's all-new figure line exclusive line, The Toy Box. The Toy Box is a line of figures based on the looks from the now-defunct Infinity video game.
There are three different subcategories, Toy Story, Star Wars and Marvel. We will be looking at Thor from the Marvel Toy Box.
Packaging:
Before we open this up, let's take a look at the packaging.
The new Marvel Toy Box figures come with a standard size blister card. At the top, you have the Disney Store exclusive logo with the Marvel Toy Box Logo running down the left side of the box. Spider-Man is clearly displayed inside the blister card. Behind him, you have a big blue #3 as he is the 3rd figure in the Marvel Toy Box. Down the bottom, you have Spider-Man's name.
Turning the box to the side you have a clear side look at Spider-Man and his retractable webbing. This is perfect for collectors who wish to keep the figure mint inside the box.
On the back of the box, we have a brief little bio about the Toy Box and the big #3 again to let you know he is the 3rd figure in this line. Right below we have a picture of Iron Man and SpiderMan both based on the looks from Spider-Man Homecoming.
Flipping the box around one more time we have some artwork of Spider-Man. This is the artwork of Spider-Man that appeared in the Disney Infinity Game.
Outside of the Box:
Let's open the box and take a closer look at the figure.
Taking Spider-Man out of the box, you get a good look at how this Spider-Man is based on his look from the Homecoming moving.
Accessories:
Let's see what kind of accessories the figure comes with.
The only thing Spider-Man comes with is his retractable webbing.
Articulation:

Hinged Mushroom Pegged Head - Allows you to swivel the head 360-degrees. The joint also allows you to move the head back and forth.
Ball Jointed Shoulders - Gives the arm 360-degree rotation and also the ability to raise and lower the arm.
Singles Jointed Swivel Elbows - this allows for a 90-degree bend at the elbow. The swivel in the elbow allows for a complete 360-degree rotation of the lower arm.
Hinged Swivel Wrists - allows you to turn her wrists in a full 360-degree circle, as well bend them up and down.
Waist Swivel - this lets you be able to turn the figure around 360 degrees at the waist.
Hinged Legs - with this it allows the legs to move out to the side along with some front and back motion.
Single Jointed Knees - This joint, although limited, allows you to bend the knees. The bend is less than 90 degrees.
Hinged Ankles - The ankle hinge allows you to bend the foot front and back.

Rating:
What are Baby Huey's scores for the figure?
Paint Job 3/5
The paint on Spider-Man is not that bad, however, I did have to go through at least 7-8 different figures at the Disney store to find one that had good paint.
Figure Sculpt 4/5
The look of the figure is just about perfect. He looks like he would have been the design/look if Disney had made a 4.0 to the game.
Posing / Durability 2/5
For a Spider-Man figure, you can get him into some good poses. The lack of a web-shooting hand does hurt the figure a little. I mean it is Spider-Man, he shoots webs, it's kinda his thing. so he should have at least one, not two open fist hands.
Overall Score 3/5
It's not a great figure but it isn't also a bad figure. The Toy Box figures are made for younger kids so if you are buying them for kids you should have no issues.
Retail Cost: $12.95
The only place to pick up the Disney Toy Box Figures is at the Disney Store or online at Disney's Website.
Time for some Toying Around!
