About Spider-Man: Sneak Attack (Bug Busters)
Wave 17 was released in May 1998 Like the first "Sneak Attack" assortment, Bug Busters mixes well-sculpted action figures with extra accessories to add to the play factor as ToyBiz aimed to please both kids and collectors. Here, each figure comes with a bug that fire various disk-shaped missles. While only four figures came in the Bug Busters set, two were never made as an action figure before, and one was an excellent revision. Jack O'Lantern and Silver Sable, both second tier Spidey characters, were excellent additions to this series. While Sable, made here in a beautiful silver vac-metal costume, was seen on the animated series, a mysterious new Jack was challenging Spider-Man in the comics. The Classic Vulture, postponed from Wave 15, by itself made the assortment worthwhile. And of course, what would be an assortment without the pre-requisite Spider-Man. The Bug Blaster Spidey is a decent sculpt, with an original costume highlighted by a huge spider on the chest.
