Classic Stretch Armstrong is getting a US release.

So the question now is, who here is gonna make custom shorts for this guy? I'd like to outfit him with cloth shorts, especially since I know the paint is going to crack and flake off at some point.

Now THAT is a sweet deal! I'll be ordering one for me and for my brothers for Christmas!

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
