1992 'Mighty Max Trapped by Arachnoid' complete playset by Mattel. Quote from the 'Mighty Max' story line: "After Max finds a message, he is suddenly teleported into the web-filled nest of Arachnoid. Arachnoid greets Max, and reveals he plans on feeding him to his newest mutation, Creep, a giant spider. Max, wielding an axe, stabs Creep and attemps to run, but is caught in a spider web. Arachnoid gloats, but Max uses the axe to slice off one of Creep's legs. He rushes towards the protein processor and uses the axe to cause an explosion. The entire cave begins to collapse, and Max leaves Arachnoid and Creep to their crushing end by teleporting away." Exactly why I loved these toys as a child!
