Brad created the Crawlspace back in 1998 while attending college at the University of Missouri-Columbia. He’s the webmaster and writes front page news items, and also produces, hosts and edits the podcast. He’s been collecting Spider-Man comics since the age of three and is a life-long fan of the webhead. His website has been featured in USA Today, Entertainment Weekly and on Marvel.com and inside the comics themselves. The Crawlspace is one of the first Spider-Man fan sites to ever hit the internet. Millions of people visit the site every year.
Brad has interviewed several “Spider-Celebrities” over the years including co-creator Stan Lee. He’s also interviewed actors who have portrayed Spider-Man like Paul Soles (Voice Actor from the 67 Spider-Man Cartoon), Dan Gilvezan (Spidey Voice Actor from Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends) ,Yuri Lownthal (Voice Actor from the Spider-Man PlayStation game) and Nicholas Hammond (Spider-Man 1977 Actor).
This ad probably appeared in magazines or newspapers advertising the new NBC show Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends. I don’t remember seeing it in any comics.
I’m guessing this was 2002 high definition technology.
Did anyone have one of these?
I have the quick-changing Peter/Spidey, Doc Ock, and the Spider-Man figures.
I had every since piece and ever 90s action figure until last July when I sold off the entire collection for just over $200.
I vaguely remember these. I’ll ask the question now that I asked back then … why does the Hobgoblin have a car? He flies on a glider, why would he be in a car?
I remember as a kid, I wanted only McDonalds every day until I got the Venom toy. My mom was…annoyed…at how much I kept going back to Wack Arnorlds until I finally got it. I never did. I kept getting the Spider-Man figure and the Spider-Man car…until I just asked the cashier if she could just give me Venom. I didn’t know you could even DO that! The toys, I thought, were always random. I was a kid, so it never dawned on me that these employees just don’t care and will give you which ever toy you’re searching for.
Besides this series of Spider-Man toys, the only other times I went crazy-lost-my-mind over MacDoodles toys was during the Super Mario Bros 3. toys and the Sonic the Hedgehog 3 toys (Google them, and don’t think but KNOW that I’m old).
