Toy helicopter made from die-cast metal, painted metallic blue, with injection-moulded polyethylene rotor and landing gear, and a transparent plastic cockpit canopy. The helicopter is styled with spider-like features: the red landing gear consists of eight legs, moulded with hairy details; the black rotor is shaped like a spider's web. On the proper left side of the canopy is a small, circular sticker with a stylised image of a spider printed in black. The landing gear has at some point been broken and superglued back on.
With the toy is its packaging, which consists of a printed card with a transparent plastic blister. On the card's front is a large colour image of Spider-Man, a fictional superhero, and on the reverse is listed the other toys which were available in this line.
