Spider-Man is one of the top selling superheroes of all time; with the previous blockbuster Spider-Man: Far From Home grossing over $1b worldwide, both the film and costumes alike are already highly anticipated.
HGL’s latest fidget toy offering combines a number of the most popular recent trends: spinners, poppers, and moodchanging octopi. The Light Up Octopus Push Popper Spinner has facial expressions that vary, eight multicoloured and tactile poppers on its tentacles, and spins for added fun. Available in two colours – white and pink.
The release of the official Spider-Man: No Way Home costumes is the latest collaboration between Rubies and Marvel, adding to Rubies extensive catalogue of costumes from the film series.
Water Wall
With Spider-Man: No Way Home swinging into cinemas on 17th December, Rubies has unmasked its latest costume designs from the superhero. Fans of the franchise will be able to get their hands on multiple costumes being released in time to tie-in with the outfits seen in the film, which will be available in children and adults’ deluxe variations, in the full range of sizes. The dress-up collection is inspired by three different costumes worn by Peter Parker’s Spider-Man in the film, including a classic edition, an Iron Spider and a Stealth Spider-Man.

Wilton Bradley has unveiled the latest addition to its popular Playhouse brand, Water Wall, which the company believes is a must-have for households with imaginative toddlers. Teaching kids about gravity, angles and water flow, the interactive wall offers limitless play combinations to enjoy as they create a different outcome every time they move the pieces. The included range of modular accessories means kids can have fun creating their own water flows and seeing their problem-solving skills come to life as they pour water from the top.
The new movie follows Peter Parker as he tries to cope with the world once it discovers his secret identity as Spider-Man. However, having turned to Marvel veteran Doctor Strange, things go awry and the multiverse changes course forever. The film is said to be the most ambitious Spider-Man movie to be conceived as it also draws in previous enemies including Doc Ock and Green Goblin.
Made from high quality, sustainably sourced wood which will stand up to years of robust play, Water Wall also blends perfectly into the garden and is designed to be kept outdoors all year round. However, this weather resistant product can be used both outdoors and indoors thanks to the included bucket, which safely catches the water when it reaches the bottom. Water Wall is approximately 120cm x 80cm x 30cm and comes packaged in a sturdy brown box with a colour poster depicting the product. The unique design and concept are currently under Design Registration and are Patent Pending (ref. GB 2105957.1).
Rubies Spider-Man: No Way Home costumes will be coming into stock soon and can be pre-ordered at www.rubiesuk.com.
