If you're only going to get one playset, get this one.

Spider-Man is a repaint of some other Spidey figure I think but a decent figure - 4 poa: arms, neck, waist. The odd thing he's in movie colors. I don't care for that as much as the black lines but for people who missed out of the Spider-Man movie figures, he could be interesting. B-

Iron Man is a repaint from Wave 2, all in metallic paint but has white eyes. This is really creepy since the figure is sculpted to have eyes so there's a weird look that doesn't really work for me. Still, he's a good Iron Man and can make a fine Iron Man sentry for your armory! C+

Now there's the city scape itself. Where the Danger Room was underpainted and awkwardly designs, this one works great as a display piece! A moving chain link door, multiple platforms, TWO billboard with walkways, a ladder and a crane combined with a decent looking cityscape background - this is where superheroes fight! The set works both from the inside and outside as a display piece with plenty of stuff and foot pegs all over the walls for Spidey. It's better painted, better thought out and looks like where these guys should be! Add a few more coats of paint to bring out some more of the details and this would be A material, as of now its above average. B

Wrote up an actual review with photos for this one. jestergoblin.com/?p=702

Thing to note: Movie Spider-Man & Iron Man make this set clearly inspired by the recent movies. For kids who don't read comics and are just getting interested this is an excellent set.
