    Stretch Serpent


    Stretch Serpent, yet another creature to combat Stretch Armstrong with (Geez Kenner, couldn't you have made him a girlfriend or something?) is way too obviously inspired by the Land of the Lost Sleestaks. That's probably the reason I want one so bad, sadly these things are tough as nails to find and usually go for "Houseboat" money.

    It's weird how back in the day they cost less than Stretch Armstrong.

            Wow, that's copyright infringement right there for sure.

            I never knew of these either!

            Was there a stretch dog?

              Looks more like a slug than a serpent.

                    Saw one go for TWELVE THOUSAND, then the guy (villhelm?) listed it and it topped out at $2000 not making reserve. It's a kinda cool piece, and is definitely extremly hard to find, but I just don't like the fact the body's not humanoid. I'd go a couple hundred but nowhere near what it sells for.

                      There was a stretch wienerdog; but I think it was from the 90's line.

                      Y'know.... I'd love to get the head from one of the snakes and put it on an armatured stuffed animal body.

                            Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the only two around aren't even 100% original and mint, they've been drained of the syrup and filled up with cotton.
