Awesome!  Cool!  These are the words that my soon to be 6 year old son exclaimed as he checked out and played with the Spider Man Spidey Sense Mask.  Needless to say he is loving it!!!  As soon as the box came this morning, he ripped into it and together we released Spidey from his box (not too difficult compared to the way some of the toys are packaged these days).

The color of the mask is vibrant and very appealing.  Personally I love the material it is made from.  Is it plastic?  Yes.  However it is not the hard type of plastic that so many masks are made with.  This is sort of like a soft/rubberized type of plastic that is slightly flexible and more comfortable.  To me, I think this will make the toy much more resistant to breaking and cracking.  The web design is a rubber material and just feels cool.  I can see this holding up to some rough and tumble play.  Another aspect that I was surprised by was the way the mask attached to the head.  Instead of a rubber band type of attachment, there is a T-crossing set of straps - designed much like that of a ball cap adjuster.  This allows for the child to be able to fit it so that it is comfortable both around the head and the forehead area.  My son even commented how this was just like his baseball cap.  These straps are also a soft and flexible rubberized type of plastic.

Now for the fun stuff - the talking and lighting up!  As stated, the mask says 10 different phrases (compliments of a square button on the upper right portion of the mask.  Surprisingly the phrases are spoken very clear and easy to understand, rather than garbled and distorted.  The volume is not overly loud, though could probably get on nerves is pushed repeatedly, lol.  When the button is pushed, there are two small lights on each of the Spidey eyes that make the yellow portion of the eyes light up.  This is pretty cool - though will not be noticeable in a lighted area.  My son took the mask in the bathroom where there are no windows and it is dark to try this part out.  His reaction?  "COOL!!!!"  I have to admit it does look pretty cool.

I also want to mention that the mask does get warm - yes, I even tried it on for myself, lol - though I love the fact that there are air slits across the entire bottom portion of the mask to allow for plenty of air and breathing circulation.

Overall this mask is a HUGE hit at our house.  I highly recommend it for any Spidey fan and am very confident that it will hold up well.  The design is very well made and I applaud the company for that - rather than making some cheezy cheap mask that the kids go crazy for that will only break and/or crack within a few days of play.  The price of $20 is an excellent one, I think and you will definitely get your money's worth through your child's excitement and love of the toy!
