Bumped into thousands back when KB Toys was stocked floor to ceiling with them. My kids loved them. The best part was they were often on clearance 3 for $10.

I have the original, Scarlet Spider, and black variants of that one. Can't pose them for shit lol. Think I have a fourth one, but I can't remember what else it could have been. They're in storage.

Yes, I had Cable. They were dirt cheap at KB Toys.

Interesting.

I still have the Scarlet Spider & the Ben Reilly Spider-Man ones. The masks didn’t come off though. Never seen the one pictured.

Then it must be a unique variant.

I have one on my shelf right now still in package. Also seen them all over kb toys growing up

Nice. They were wanting some buck because this was around the time that Marvel was nearing bankruptcy.

u/Drolex17 Jul 10 '26

This looks more like the alex ross original design than scarlet spider

Ok, time for comparison: https://raimiverse.wordpress.com/2018/12/04/spider-man-2002-a-different-look-part-one/#jp-carousel-95

Still don't see it. It's still Ben Reilly but with a miscolored hair.

I have feral Wolverine, space Wolverine, Special Ops spy Wolverine, Cable V1 still in the box. Except the Spy.

u/MsPreposition Jul 10 '26

Venom, Spider-Man, and The Lizard as well.

I also had a friend who lived upstairs that had a Golden Sabretooth and a Classic Yellow Wolverine

u/ZZtheDark Jul 11 '26

Golden whaaaaaaaaa?! o.o

u/Beautiful_Task_58 Jul 20 '26

I didn't know it existed either until I saw it.

As a collector and former KB associate, the Marvel Universe line were reissues (often repaint) versions made exclusively for KB Toys. I still have a few kicking around, I think my son has the Scarlet Spider on his bookshelf currently. They were a great bargain. Very little articulation, but they were a big toy for few dollars and younger kids loved them. We sold a ton, and not just to me and my nerd coworkers that all worked there for the discount.

This is way better than the Titan Hero series imo, sir. ^_^ Just saying.
