Title: SPIDER-MAN Webmaker [and] Rare Webmaker Refill, 1977 * Both on Card
Place Published:
Publisher:Chemtoy
Date Published: [1977]
Description:

Lot comprises two blister-pack cards, the larger being 9.25" x 13" and the smaller being 6" x 9". Some bending and wear to both packages, with creasing and a 2" tear to the refill pack, but the contents are unharmed.

Chemtoy's "Amazing Spider-Man Webmaker" promised Spidey fans the ability to "Make Your Own Real Webs," which may have led to disappointment for anyone who didn't read the small print. Instead of thwipping webs around like the real Spidey, this gizmo required users to "Gently squeeze a small dot of webmaker webbing. Touch it to a surface. Pull. Touch or wrap around another surface, back and forth, round and round, always anchoring webbing to two surfaces. NOW YOU'RE MAKING YOUR OWN WEB." Kids who ran out of webbing were in luck, as refill packs were available. These refill packs are much scarcer than the Webmakers themselves.
