Spidey and His Amazing Friends - GHOSTASAURUS!

Spidey and His Amazing Friends -  Ghostasaurus & Spidey - Hasbro 2024

In the August 2024 episode of Spidey and His Amazing Friends titled "Go Dino-Webs Go!", the main three heroes, Spidey (Peter), Ghost-Spider (Gwen), and Spin (Miles) are given Dino-Web suits by their new shape-changing friend, Reptil. These suits each have green crystal spider logos on the chest, and when the heroes press that crystal they can transform into a dinosaur. Spidey becomes a T-Rex, Spin becomes a Stegosaurus, and Ghost-Spider becomes this awesome Pterodactyl. This is all done to combat the Green Goblin who is terrorizing the countryside in a giant mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex. I really dig anthropomorphic dino characters in general, but when I saw this Ghostasaurus figure, she reminded me of the female Archaeopteryx Teryx from Dino-Saucers with her color scheme and wings (a sentiment I also had for Gormiti's Jessica). But this toy is very cool in its own right. That Spider-Gwen costume design would probably look awesome on anything. Let's check out Ghostasaurus below!






The name "Ghostasaurus" is a title that seems to be solely associated with the toy, not the cartoon.
















The accessories for this set include a large set of mechanical talons that can clip to Ghostassaurus's waist and a blue energy web. I honestly can't figure out the purpose of the web piece. It can't be held or attached to either figure (as far as I can tell).








Here are the entire contents of this set, including the Peter Parker Spidey with his flip-up mask action.
























Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!


Here is Ghostasaurus with the original Ghost-Spider figure from 2021.






Cheers!

  1. I actually bought this, just for that head that's full of character. Bought an "8 Inch Deluxe Female Articulated Action Figure Body (Yvonne)" in white from "Figures Toy Company", just so I could slap her head atop it lol. I just need to find good pterodactyl wings, as the original ones are too small and have the dumb spiderman webbing pattern that always ruins buying Marvel stuff for custom parts.
