Expert Review: Jazwares’ Spidey and His Amazing Friends Metals City Track Set

MILES AND SPIDEY ARE READY TO RACE IN THIS PRESCHOOL TRACK SET

• Features nine play zones for different play experiences
• Perfect for family or solo play
• Features several characters from Spidey and His Amazing Friends

WHAT IT IS

Jazware’s Spidey and His Amazing Friends Metals City Track is a track set inspired by the show Spidey and His Amazing Friends. Designed after a general New York City building and street, it includes two die-cast vehicles, one with Miles Morales at the wheel and the other occupied by Spidey.

It features different characters from the show like Doc Oct, Green Goblin, and Rhino — as well as nine action zones inspired by the characters. Vehicles will race down two tracks through the web swing, bridge collapse, billboard smash, trap door, pumpkin cross collision, tower spin defense, and speed launcher before blasting through the doors.

There are several twists and turns, and parts of the track will move to connect with other parts when hit with the speed of a car. The goal is for a vehicle to make it through the villains’ traps.

WHY WE LOVE IT

This playset features several moving parts for the vehicles to interact with as they glide down the tracks, which makes playtime fun and interesting. Kids will enjoy “defeating” the bad guys from their favorite show as their Spidey and Miles Morales toy vehicles pass through the traps.

There are numerous ways to play with the set. Kids can race by placing the included cars on different tracks at the same time. They can also tap into their creativity by implementing different racing rules, sending the cars down backward, or drawing finish lines at various points on the floor for the cars to cross after they burst through the green doors. Other Spidey and His Amazing Friends Amazing Metals vehicles can fit on the track, so parents can add new themed cars if desired.

The set is sturdy and well-made, so it can survive the iron grip or clumsiness of kids. It’s also incredibly detailed and colorful — there are mini brick storefronts, spider web designs on the tracks, and the vehicles feature characteristics of Spidey and Miles Morales’ spider-suits.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

Kids can help parents build the playset, but ultimately an adult will need to put it together — it’s an easy build, and no tools are required. At 24-inches tall, the Spidey and His Amazing Friends Metals City Track Set isn’t a car-ride toy, but kids can easily move it from room to room if needed. There’s no designated storage for the vehicles, but kids can place them behind the storefronts when playtime ends.

PERFECT FOR

Siblings, friends, or kids that want to play alone. Since the playset has several play zones to keep kids invested, including different ways for the track to move, it’s perfect for kids who might get bored easily. Kids can learn about healthy competition while playing, and parents can use the set to introduce kids to science as they watch the cars speed down the track.
