RETRO TOY FLASHBACK # 78: The Amazing ENERGIZED Spider-Man (Remco; 1978)

From Remco Toys and Marvel Comic Group in 1978 (the days of the Nicholas Hammond Spider-Man TV series...), comes this amazing, large-scale figure. This Amazing Spider-Man figure is energized "to climb!" Just "attach the Spider-clamp, turn on Spiderman's energy belt and his web climber goes into action. He climbs doors. Walls. Windows. Fences. Automatically."

But there's more. Spiderman is also energized "to pull! To lift!" Yes, "Spiderman's energized web actually pulls and lifts objects heavier than his own weight." The figure could also "throw light." His "Spider-Light cuts a beam through the night, lighting the way to safety...or to find the enemy!"

This figure was actually part of a very cool Spidey line from Remco. There was also a Spider-copter, and Spidey's powers could "turn the rotor" and also "send out a powerful search beam." Our friendly neighborhood figure also had an enemy in the form of the equally "energized" Green Goblin. Gobs was "energized to cut Spiderman's web" and "power his Goblin ray gun."

Finally -- and also sold separately -- was a nifty Spider-man accessory pack, which came with a Spider Trap, Spider Ray Gun, and a rocket camera; all of which could be attached to Spiderman's energy belt.
