Rarity
Rare. This is the first-ever licensed Spider-Man minifigure, appearing only in sets from 2002 before the logo was redesigned in 2003.
Head
Red with white triangle eyes outlined in black and a silver metallic web pattern. No dual-sided printing; solid red head piece.
Torso
Dark blue torso with a red vest-shaped print featuring a metallic silver web pattern and a small black spider logo. Dark blue arms and red hands.
Legs
Dark blue hips and legs with no printing. The blue is a darker shade than modern LEGO Spider-Man figures.
Accessories
Usually came with white string with end studs (webbing) or a translucent-clear web piece, though the figure itself has no integrated accessories.
Color Scheme
Dark red and dark blue with metallic silver printing for the web pattern. This contrasts with modern Spidey figures which use brighter colors.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing for the era. Features a distinctive metallic/reflective silver ink for the webbing, which was technically advanced for 2002.
Variants
Variations include spd012 (2003 red logo) and spd028 (with balaclava head). spd001 is identified by the specific spider logo shape and silver web color.
Condition Notes
Prone to silver web printing wear on the head and torso. Check for torso cracks (common in early 2000s dark blue plastic) and loose neck/hip joints.
Estimated Value
Used Complete: $50 - $75 USD; New: $150+ USD. Price varies significantly based on the crispness of the silver web printing.
Price (New)
Available in sets ranging from $10 to $70 USD in 2002. Not sold as a stand-alone individual figure bag.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Represents Tobey Maguire's Peter Parker from the 2002 Sam Raimi 'Spider-Man'. This was LEGO's first foray into the Marvel universe.
Design Notes
Features 'yellow-era' proportions with classic dark blue. The spider logo is much smaller than modern versions, mimicking the movie costume's chest emblem.
Similar Minifigures
Spider-Man (spd012), Spider-Man (spd028), and various LEGO Marvel Super Heroes versions from 2012-present.
Collectibility
Extremely high. Being the 'first' LEGO Spider-Man makes it a cornerstone for Marvel collectors and fans of the Raimi trilogy.
History
Launched as part of the 'Studios' line experiments in licensing movies before a dedicated 'Super Heroes' theme was established in 2012.
Interesting Facts
The silver ink used for the webs is unique to this era; later versions switched to light gray or different printing methods to save costs.
Display Suggestions
Display in a UV-protected case to prevent the dark blue from fading and the silver ink from tarnishing or rubbing off.
Modification Potential
Commonly used in 'purist' MOCs to recreate the 2002 poster; compatible with any standard LEGO web or hand accessories.
Overall Assessment
9/10. A historic piece of LEGO history. Its unique silver printing and 'first-ever' status make it a must-have for serious collectors.
