Old Stretch Meets New Stretch

I couldn't resist. When our old Stretch spilled we glued his head to a 12 inch Hulk body when he out wrestled all my 12 inch figures throughout my childhood.

Cool. I wish my parents would have saved my old Stretch head for me once he began to leak.

that's awesome!! I wish I would have done that with my Stretch Monster head that was rolling around in my sock drawer for years before we moved and I finally tossed it.

What a great idea! Who's body is that?

Just a Hulk body painted.

Yeah, me too. Although my Hulk body had a busted knee from me throwing a baseball at it.

So what's the story behind him wearing 90s Stretch Armstrong clothes?

[Brown Bear]

I had the 90's one who was his son. Old Stretch liked the shirt so he just took it. Later my 90's one died the same death as many armstrongs did but his head is far too big for 12" scale. 😉

What a great way to update the vintage one and keep his memory alive. Love it!!

The hulk body looks like a perfect fit for him.

I later kept the tradition alive when I tackled a mego sized Stretch. Hopefully one day I'll get a flesh colored Hulk body as tall as a type 1 body (without stick legs like Tyson).
