These 70s and 80s resurrections are getting ridiculous.

I always wanted a stretch Armstrong growing up. I read somewhere that when those arms blow out, the innards are made from liquid sugar.

One of my favorite toys from when i was a kid. My older brother and I stretched the crap outta that thing. It was supposed to be unbreakable but we broke two of them. One leaked all over the rug ... we got seriously busted for that one.

I love the fact that none of that actually panned out.

I very clearly remember cutting mine open to see what was inside, fully expecting my mom could sew it back up.
I would agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

I liked that it demonstrated the properties of viscosity and malleability. If you punched Stretch Armstrong, it was hard as a rock. But if you expended that same energy over a longer period of time, you could make him 36" across.

I assume that the program Alcott is using, is the same machine that Breaker created. I would also like too see EW meet some descendants of the Unit-Y team.
