Summary

  • Hasbro has created a toy Web Blaster that actually lets you shoot webs like Spider-Man.
  • Each Blaster comes with a pouch filled with web fluid. More pouches can be bought separately once you run out.
  • There's also an empty pouch included with the Blaster that can be filled with water to use in between bouts of covering your villainous action figures with web fluid.

I've been wishing I could be Spider-Man for as long as I can remember, but the closest I've come to replicating that fictional feeling is by swinging around New York as the web-slinger in Insomniac's Spidey games. The idea of actually being able to fire webs from my wrists was an unattainable goal since, well, radioactive spiders aren't a thing, and if they were, being bitten by one probably wouldn't result in the development of superpowers. Kids today won't need to rely on that impossibility as Hasbro has created real-life Web Blasters, no radioactive spider bite needed.

The toymakers revealed its Spidey Web Blasters earlier this week and they're already available to buy through the link in the box below on Amazon. Unlike Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man, you won't need to rely on your body making its own web fluid. The Blaster will need to be loaded up with a pouch that contains fluid designed to look and feel like Spidey's webs. The video below shows a Venom action figure being covered in that fluid, making your battle with the toy symbiote feel very real.

Since you aren't Maguire, your web fluid won't last forever. The Blaster includes one pouch of web fluid, and additional pouches can be bought separately. Between bouts of firing webs, and so you don't burn through your web fluid too quickly, the Blasters also include a separate pouch that can be filled with water. No, water won't be as effective as webbing against your enemies - unless one of your enemies happens to be Sandman - but it does mean you will be able to keep up your Spider-Man act once your web fluid pouch has run dry.

Marvel Spider-Man Real Webs Ultimate Web Blaster

Hasbro's Spider-Man Web Blaster is a toy that lets you realize your Spider-Man dream and fire off actual webs at your enemies. Web fluid actually, a pouch of which is included with the Blaster. If you run out of webbing, you can purchase pouches separately and there's also a refillable water pouch included.

Since I'm assuming most of the people reading this are parents now worried about what this webbing will do once it comes into contact with your furniture because let's be honest, that's inevitable, the web fluid becomes "gel-like webbing" once it has been fired out of the Blaster. I've not had the chance to try them out for myself - but my son has seen the images over my shoulder while I've been writing this article so it's only a matter of time - but my guess is the webbing is similar to silly string. Unlikely it will permanently damage what it comes into contact with, but something you will want to clean up relatively quickly if it hits something you'd rather not be forced to deep clean later.

It's something of a quiet period for Spider-Man right now. No new movies on the horizon and all quiet on the video game front, although there may well be Spider-Man 2 DLC coming, and Marvel's resident arachnid will be on the Marvel Rivals roster. If you're looking to keep your Spidey senses ticking over in the meantime, a new line of Spider-Man Funko Pops modeled after character looks from Insomniac's latest game is available now.
