We bought two of these for our young boys. Make no mistake, they loved these web shooters...while they lasted.
The negatives:
The shooter is bulky, so take care that young children don't accidentally fall down on it.
The web fluid lasts for only a couple minutes. I won't be buying replacements at $5 per can.
The trigger mechanism has a tendancy to stick.
The edges of the foam darts split after repeated use.
In summary, that leaves you with a web shooter than only fires from only 3 of its intended 5 canisters. For the price, I expect the toy to last a bit longer.
This would be a great toy for a weekend or two, but it won't hold up the entire summer.

At first it appeared it might be a little big for a four year old, but the energy was abundant so the can of webslinger lasted all of 3 minutes. After depleting the can of web spray, he continued to expend that bundle of energy launching the small soft darts or squirting the water gun. The cost is marginal for what you get. They should include at least two cans of spray knowing it does not last long at all. The product appears to be well built and safe for young children to play with. If it lasts another 5 months then the durability will be considered good. I would only recommend this for a young child that is fairly active or has good command of the motor skills.

My 30+ brother bought this for my 40+ husband. He had a blast, but I'm still picking string out of every crevice in my house! Web ran out fast, but I suppose I'll buy him more...

Santa brought this blaster this year and well, after long, arduous pleas for it, it is sitting in the toybox. Was even told "I wish I hadn't asked for it." I suppose if the child is at LEAST 7, more like 8 it would be better, but since it is SO heavy and cumbersome, it's quite difficult for the boys to work it and use it for any length of time. The silly string it comes with as webs is gone in about 10-15 minutes and is incredibly over priced. The different web tubes are quite difficult to manuever and the boys had to be helped with changing the type of ammo they wanted to use. For as pricey as this guy is, there are other web blasters out there sold separately, that contain each one of these shooters individually and in twos. To be honest, they'd add up to more than this one bought separately, but it is worth it in my book. We have 2 of the other ones and the boys have much more fun using them because they're lighter and easier to manuever. This was used by 6 and 7-year-olds and they much, much preferred the single web blasters over this one. Again, if they're older, this would probably be more fun. But for little fingers and arms, you might want to consider the smaller blasters. Sorta recommend with caution to the age factor.

This is a fabulous toy. My son loves it. It has all kinds of neat things for spiderman to do in one toy. One down side that one must be careful about- the web fluid runs out FAST and it is pricey. It is also the thing that my son most likes to play with. Just be prepared to spend some bucks and then watch your child have a blast. (A can of web fluid is about 5.00 and lasts about 15 minutes) Things the toy does: Shoots water, web fluid, darts, and webs. What a blast for the spiderman fanatic that lives at my house and I bet yours too.
