    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...

      Yeah, the modern sculpts totally kills my interest in these.

          Well, it says "Pending Licensor Approval", so maybe Stretch Monster will get changed?

          Most likely not, tho.

            I'll be getting the Monster regardless. I really like the scale on these, and am going to assume that any new figures will probably be released in this size.

            There's also a pic of a new Vac Man in there. I wasn't aware of the original one when I was a kid.

              Vacman came out in the mid 90s as part of Cap Toys Stretch Armstrong reboot.

                That would explain it.

                  I contacted them and asked and didn't really get a straight answer whether they'd use the old sculpt in the end.

                      stretch monster kinda gives me the vibe that the Round2 new Dr Evil did. I am happy to see the line return and hope it gains some traction, but I sure do wish they used the older sculpt. Maybe there will be a chance for a chase figure or limited release.

                          While I would have preferred the classic design Stretch Monster, I do think the redesign looks cool too.
