Figure ID
spd001
Theme
Super Heroes
Year Released
2002. Debuted in Set 1374 at the dawn of LEGO licensed movie sets, coinciding with Sam Raimi's first Spider-Man film.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While the character is common, this specific 2002 version was only in a few sets and is highly sought after due to the 'Raimi' movie nostalgia and unique printing.
Head
Red head with silver web printing and white eyes with black outlines. Unlike modern versions, the web lines are thin and have a metallic silver sheen.
Torso
Red torso with dark blue arms and red hands. Silver web pattern on front and back with a small black spider emblem on the chest and a red spider on the back.
Legs
Dark blue legs with a red hip piece. No printing on the legs, which was standard for the era.
Accessories
Usually came with translucent webbing or string with grips in sets, but the figure itself consists of the four standard parts.
Color Scheme
Classic Red and Dark Blue. Features a specific 'Metallic Silver' print for the webs rather than the matte grey/white used on modern versions.
Printing Details
Pad-printed. High precision for early 2000s, though common issues include the silver web lines being slightly off-center on the face mold.
Variants
Standard (spd001), Balcony version with different head (spd006), and the 2004 redesigned versions with larger eyes and different webbing patterns for the second movie.
Condition Notes
Watch for fading on the silver silver printing, especially on the nose area. Check for 'arm cracks' (vertical splits in the torso sides) and neck-pin stress marks.
Estimated Value
New: $70-$100 USD. Used Complete: $30-$50 USD. Prices vary based on the preservation of the silver printing.
Price (New)
Released in sets ranging from $10 (Spider-Man's Action Studio) to $30 (Green Goblin's Encounter).
Compatible Sets
4850, 4851, 4852 (2003/2004 sequels) or earlier 1374 and 1376 (2002).
Character Background
Based on Tobey Maguire's portrayal of Peter Parker. It represents the character's first appearance in a major live-action blockbuster.
Design Notes
The use of metallic silver ink was a major leap in detail. Modern versions have changed the eye shape significantly, making this 'pointy-eyed' look iconic to the trilogy.
Similar Minifigures
spd028 (2004 variant), sh038 (2012 reboot), and the modern sh908 (Tobey's return in No Way Home).
Collectibility
High. It is considered the 'original' movie Spider-Man and has seen a massive surge in demand since the release of No Way Home.
History
This was LEGO's second-ever licensed superhero property (following Batman in some regions). It set the standard for modern movie-tie-in minifigures.
Interesting Facts
In early 2002 production, some of these figures had 'neck studs' with the LEGO logo, while others lacked it. The silver ink is actually prone to rubbing off faster than standard black ink.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a wall-mounted frame or a 'Spider-Verse' lineup alongside Andrew Garfield and Tom Holland versions for contrast.
Modification Potential
Commonly used for MOCs by swapping with modern 'dual-molded' red/blue legs to give the vintage figure a modern 'Ultimate' look.
Overall Assessment
A corner-stone of any Super Heroes collection. While it lacks modern leg printing, its historical significance and unique silver ink make it a 9/10 for desirability.
