Spider Heroes - a bootleg toy just like the Bat Ranger - a motorcycle riding concept Bootleg!
This time the target of the Bootleggers was Spider-Man - probably the best recognized character in Marvel Comic's stable.
The figure and motorcycle come boxed in a colorful window box. The Motorcycle features a working headlight, kickstand and a sidecar. It is cast in red plastic with blue, black and silver paint highlights. It is the same mold used for the Batranger bike.
Here's a shot of the figure still in package...
The box art shows a color scheme quite different from the included figure. This could indicate a third figure in the series, or a prototype that was changed in favor of a more eaisly-recognized concept. Also note the gun in the character's hand...an accessory that the Spider Hero deffinately lacks.
Out of the package, the figure is approximately in scale with most 3 3/4" figure offerings like Kenner's Star Wars. It can be mixed with 5" figures without too much trouble, as shown here....
