    Grabbed one online thanks for the tip!

        Found Stretch tonight at Target. He was on an end cap with other retro toys.

          No problem. Happy to pass on the info.

          I won't be able to get one for a while. Stretch hit at the same time as all the brand new retro Strawberry Shortcake stuff. So please post some pictures when you get one.
          You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...

            I plan on posting some photos this weekend. I'm really happy with the sculpt and overall feel of the toy. And thanks for the alert Werewolf. I don't think I would have gone looking tonight otherwise.

              Yes, thanks for the tip. I ordered two from Target, one to open and one to keep sealed. So glad I was able to get these without having to resort to the eBay scalpers.

                    THANK YOU, I managed to text Sam Noir just as he was passing a Target last night and he got me one. Timing was fantastic.

                      Me too. Hey is anyone gonna get the "World's Smallest" Stretch from Super Impulse? I thought that would be a good prop for my boy (dolls) room.

                              Picked him up at lunch. Here is the un-boxing. When my grandson gets home today we'll do an additional review to test his stretching ability.



                              He's in a plastic bag with a slide out tray and instructions.



                              The likeness is spot on!



                              He's pliable to say the least.







                              The instructions are always fun in terms of do's AND don'ts! I seem to recal as a kid being tempted by the don'ts. (;

                                With Hasbro having toy license for Marvel and Stretch, what are the chances of getting an Elastic Hulk or Spider-Man?
