Green Goblin
TB-MSH-S2-4815
Green Goblin was the headline villain of the Series 2 wave, and Toy Biz made sure he
delivered. The action feature — a spring-loaded throwing arm that launches miniature pumpkin
bombs — is one of the more satisfying gimmicks in the entire early run. Press the trigger,
watch the bomb fly. It’s direct, it works, and it’s very on-brand for a character whose
whole deal is gleeful, chaotic destruction.
The Goblin Glider a nice addition. It’s a separate piece that the figure can be
pegged onto, recreating the classic aerial pose from countless Spider-Man comics. The
purple-and-green deco is appropriately garish — exactly how Osborn’s alter ego should look.
For kids who’d been collecting since Series 1, Green Goblin was the Spider-Man villain
they’d been waiting for — the natural foil to the web-slinger on the opposite peg.
