Two boys' review: Webs run out soon, toy is not a good value
We bought two of these for our young sons. They are both die-hard Spider-Man fans and loved the idea of shooting webs just like Spidey.
Our sons loved these web shooters...while they lasted. Even with the extra canisters of web fluid, our sons ran out of webbing in the first weekend.
The negatives:
* The shooter is bulky, so take care that young children don't accidentally fall down on it.
* The web fluid lasts for only a couple minutes. I won't be buying replacements at $5 per can.
* The trigger mechanism has a tendancy to stick.
* The edges of the foam darts split after repeated use.
In summary, your child will have a web shooter than fires from only three of its intended five canisters. For the price, the toy should last longer.
This is a great toy for a weekend but it doesn't hold up for an entire summer.
Web Blaster for a four year old
At first it appeared it might be a little big for a four year old, but the energy was abundant so the can of webslinger lasted all of 3 minutes. After depleting the can of web spray, he continued to expend that bundle of energy launching the small soft darts or squirting the water gun. The cost is marginal for what you get. They should include at least two cans of spray knowing it does not last long at all. The product appears to be well built and safe for young children to play with. If it lasts another 5 months then the durability will be considered good. I would only recommend this for a young child that is fairly active or has good command of the motor skills.
Fun for boys of all ages!
My 30+ brother bought this for my 40+ husband. He had a blast, but I'm still picking string out of every crevice in my house! Web ran out fast, but I suppose I'll buy him more...
Amazon.com Product Description
Kids who wish they had the abilities of Spider-Man without having to actually get bitten by a radioactive spider might want to check out this Ultimate Web Blaster. The chunky plastic device is worn on the bottom half of the arm by slipping your hand into the built-in glove. Five compartments on the outside of the blaster hold canisters full of sticky fun to stop opponents in their tracks. When the hero pulls down on the two-finger trigger, whatever canister currently at the top of the blaster is put in use.
 Includes web fluid, suction-tipped darts, missiles, and three stretchy webs. View larger. |
 A spin system lets you rotate the pre-loaded blaster positions once you are wearing it. View larger. |
We imagine that this toy is even better if your best friend has one, too. The creative wheels would never stop spinning! But if you're lucky enough to be the only kid on the block with the Ultimate Web Blaster, you can also use it for fun target practice. Tree branches, empty cans, retired action figures, or anything else you want to take aim at is now your min objective. Should your canister run dry, refills are available for purchase separately. And remember: With great power, comes great responsibility--to have fun!
