Comics : Funtastic Activity Pack/Pad & Crayons

This story is part of a Lookback Series: Book of the Month Club

Background...

I'm guessing that in 2002, Funtastic jumped the gun a little. They brought out a range of activity books a little bit ahead of the main movie blitz. There were six different books... a Coloring Book, a Sticker Book, a Bumper Book (just a bigger coloring book), a Tattoo Book, and a Paint with Water Book.

The sixth book was a smaller activity book (coloring, spot the difference, finish the picture, etc.) which came in a bagged pack along with the coloring book (also available separately), and a box of four crayons.

No Month 2002 : SM Title : Spider-Man Color/Activity Books (Funtastic)

Half-sized, top-hinged activity pad. 24 pages featuring a few spot-the-difference pages, and a few coloring pages with the same art as the coloring/bumper books. Comes in a bagged pack along with the bigger coloring book, and a set of four crayons. The movie version gave me four colors, red + blue, naturally. It also gave me green + purple, presumably so I could draw the Green Goblin! Sadly, none of the pictures in the activity pad showed the Green Goblin!

This was re-released as Funtastic Activity Pack/Pad & Crayons (Movie Version).

In General...

Very little imagination in this series... probably enough to get through the first, small, coloring book. Unfortunately, it got spread a lot thinner than that! There was very little variety in the art in the first place, and then it got re-cycled through six different activity books, and then re-re-cycled through a second series!

Overall Rating...

Disappointing really. Two webs.
