Classic Stretch Armstrong is getting a US release.

It was announced at the London Toy Fair that Stretch was getting released in the UK by Character Options. The thread is here:

But some how it flew under the radar at the NYTF that Stretch is getting a US and I assume Canada too release by Jazwares.

Skip ahead to 6:10.

I assume they will be powder or bead filled? The example shown was most definitely not syrup.

He looks a little floppier than the original, but still really cool. Didn't the original have actual cloth shorts on?

[Brown Bear]

He sure did. My original head was super glued on a 12 inch body as a kid with original trunks. I painted the body to match the face. Still remains one of my favourite toys I own.

i can't wait.

I haven't heard if it's been stated if the figure is still filled with corn syrup or not. But it does look like it can really take a beating and still slowly go back to it's original shape like the vintage toy.

Here's a video from UK toy fair of kids really stretching him to his limit.

How did I miss this thread? I was searching for the other thread on the London Toy Fair to see when he was supposed to come out, and finally saw this. Hope to see ol' Stretch soon!

I've noticed these are showing up on ebay. Hopefully not too long till they are at retail.

I believe they've started showing up in the UK and Australia. I don't think they've hit the US yet.

[Jason73]

I can hardly wait.

[harvestcrusader]

wonder if they will do a Stretch HULK...

[powersthatbe]

when this came out I so wanted a Plastic Man or Mr Fantastic instead.I think they actually did make a Plastic man if I'm not mistaken.

Amazon US now has these up for pre-order for $29.99. They will be in stock on August 5th. Looks like Stretch is a bit shorter than the original, but I'm still looking forward to this.
