Theme
Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2014 - First introduced in set 76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue during the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' animated series wave.
Rarity
Uncommon. While it appeared in several sets, it is the first mass-produced Spider-Man to feature dual-molded legs, making it more desirable than the standard single-color leg versions.
Head
Red with black web pattern and large white eyes outlined in black. It is a single-sided print characteristic of the 'Ultimate' comic/cartoon style.
Torso
Red and blue with black web pattern and a small black spider emblem on the chest. The back features a large red spider emblem. Red arms with blue highlights and red hands.
Legs
Blue and red dual-molded legs. The top half is blue and the bottom half is red to represent boots, with no additional printing.
Accessories
Standard versions often included 'Web Power' blast elements or translucent white string webs, though none are pictured in the provided image.
Color Scheme
Classic Red and Blue. Features high-contrast primary colors designed to match the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' animated aesthetic.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The dual-molding of the legs is a significant structural detail rather than a print, ensuring the 'boots' look clean and don't wear off.
Variants
This is the 'Dual Molded' variant. Other variants include sh038 (dark blue legs), sh003 (classic), and several movie-specific versions (MCU/Homecoming).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include neck cracks on the torso and 'toe' wear on the red boots. The dual-molding prevents the color-rub issues seen on older printed legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $6.00 - $9.00 USD; New: $12.00 - $15.00 USD. Prices vary based on the tightness of joints and head scratches.
Price (New)
Originally available in sets ranging from $14.99 (Juniors) to $44.99 (Spider-Helicopter Rescue).
Compatible Sets
76016 Spider-Helicopter Rescue (2014), 10665 Spider-Car Pursuit (2014), 76064 Mighty Micros: Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin (2016).
Character Background
Peter Parker, the web-slinging hero of New York City. This specific design is modeled after his appearance in the Disney XD 'Ultimate Spider-Man' animated series.
Design Notes
This figure marked a turning point in LEGO's Marvel line by introducing dual-molded legs for the character, providing a much-requested 'boots' look without fragile printing.

Collectibility
High for completionists. While abundant, it is considered the 'definitive' affordable Spider-Man for many collectors due to the dual-molded legs.
History
Following the 2012 relaunch of LEGO Marvel, fans complained about plain blue legs. This 2014 version corrected that, becoming the gold standard for Spidey figures for several years.
Interesting Facts
Despite being common, this figure's legs are often harvested by collectors to upgrade older, more expensive Spider-Man figures that originally came with plain legs.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed on a clear 'action' stand to simulate swinging. Pairs perfectly with the sh102 Green Goblin or sh046 Venom.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs; the legs can be used for almost any classic superhero requiring red boots and blue tights.
Overall Assessment
A solid 8/10 for a standard figure. It is the perfect balance of affordability and detail, representing a peak era of LEGO's animated Marvel designs.
