Theme
Spider-Man / Marvel Super Heroes
Year Released
2002 - Debuted in set 1374 Green Goblin and 1376 Spider-Man Action Studio during the first wave of Spider-Man movie tie-ins.
Rarity
Uncommon to Rare - Highly sought after as the first-ever licensed Spider-Man minifigure; limited to the Sam Raimi film sets (2002-2004).
Head
Red head featuring white eyes with chrome/silver outlines and a detailed silver web pattern; no dual-sided printing (standard for that era).
Torso
Red torso with dark blue sides, featuring a large black spider on the front and detailed silver web printing; plain blue arms with red hands.
Legs
Dark blue legs with no printing. This was standard for the early 2000s before leg printing was common in licensed themes.
Accessories
None included in the image; originally came with a translucent-clear web piece in some sets or a green surfboard 'glider' in others.
Color Scheme
Primary red and dark blue with high-contrast silver/chrome printing for the webbing; uses the classic 'non-flesh' red color consistent with comics.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for the time, featuring distinct silver webbing that catches the light; lacks back printing which is common for 2002 figures.
Variants
Three main variants: spd001 (silver webs), spd012 (darker blue/black highlights), and the ultra-rare 2003 'Sony' promotional version.
Condition Notes
The silver printing on the head is prone to rubbing off from play. Check for 'neck cracks' on the torso and heel cracks on the legs. This specific figure shows some play wear on the legs.
Estimated Value
Used: $45-$65 USD. New/Mint: $80-$120 USD. Value is heavily dictated by the crispness of the silver head printing.
Price (New)
Sets 1374 and 1376 originally retailed for approximately $10.00 USD, making this a high-value appreciation figure.
Compatible Sets
1376 Spider-Man Action Studio, 1374 Green Goblin, 4850 Spider-Man's first chase.
Character Background
Based on Tobey Maguire's portrayal in the 2002 Sam Raimi 'Spider-Man' film, marking LEGO's first foray into the Marvel license.
Design Notes
Notable for being one of the first figures to use metallic ink over such a large surface area of the head and torso.
Similar Minifigures
spd027 (Spider-Man with blue legs), sh038 (Modern Spider-Man), and various Tobey Maguire versions released in 2023 sets.
Collectibility
High - A foundational piece for any Marvel or Spider-Man collector; it represents a 'milestone' in LEGO history as the first Marvel-licensed minifigure.
History
Released when LEGO was transitioning into licensed play sets; this figure paved the way for the modern multi-billion dollar Marvel Super Heroes line.
Interesting Facts
This was the first time LEGO ever used the Spider-Man license; the silver webbing was meant to mimic the raised 3D webbing on the movie costume.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for a 'Evolution of Spider-Man' display case alongside the newer No Way Home versions and the classic 1374 Green Goblin.
Modification Potential
Commonly used for 'purist' movie-accurate versions by adding 2023-style dual-molded legs to give it a modern boost while keeping the vintage torso.
Overall Assessment
Score: 9/10 - A legendary minifigure with immense historical value. Despite the play wear on the legs, the head printing appears intact, making this a solid collector piece.
