Spider-Pig, Spider-Pig,
Does whatever a Spider-Pig does.

100 Donuts

Pros
-Premium character earns 50% more cash and XP on all Jobs
-His 8hr task earns Superhero Event Currency

-Some hilarious outdoor animations…including his attack Felon task.

Cons
-He’s fairly small and can be hard to find in town
-One of his best animations will disappear when the event ends, attack Felon.

Final Thoughts
Premium
No question…buy, buy, buy!  If you’re only going to purchase 1 premium character for the event get Spider Pig!  The questline is great and so are his animations!  Stop thinking & get him 😉

Freemium
This is the one item from this event I highly recommend picking up!  He’s got a full set of tasks, will help you earn more Event currency & can also help clear the Felons.  He’s a great purchase, IMO.
I know some of you have expressed some concern about the price, 100 donuts.  However, if you think about it 100 donuts is not a bad price for a character/building combo.  Especially one that’s been so requested.  If you think about it Crazy Cat Lady (another highly requested character) is 140 donuts, Manjula 160 donuts…so really this isn’t a bad price for a premium character/building combo.  Actually with the exception of Jub-Jub and the Pet Shop (and his 1 task), Spider Pig is the cheapest Character/Building combo in the game (Akira is also at the same price point).  So my opinion…get him.

Of course in the end it’s your decision, we can only tell you what we would/wouldn’t do…and I can tell you I purchased Spider Pig right away!  However, whatever you decide remember this is a limited-time item and will disappear when the event ends.  So make sure you make your final decision before March 31st or he’ll disappear from the store!

  1. This may sound immature but I got him during the second SH event
    And the moment I tapped that silo and it farted
    I knew i made the greatest purchase in tapped out history

  2. Hm… I just noticed the payout for the crap silo is not premium… that seems odd.
    But, Homer’s payout is premium when he does the task with Plopper! 🙂
    Are all premium/non-premium joint tasks like that?

    • Most premium buildings don’t necessarily pay out premium rates. But yes, just about all joint tasks like that become premium

  3. Still on the fence, wonder if it’s even still worth getting with the event being over.
