Stretch Armstrong was a terrible toy. Fun for ten seconds then it never gets played with again.
I dropped a Stretch Armstrong while riding on an escalator as a kid and he got sucked into the thing... mall security had to shut it down because Armstrong's goopy guts were all over the stairs! That was interesting to watch unfold.
That escalated quickly.
kek
That is an awesome story! The most fun Stretch Armstrong ever had.
My brother and I stretched one so far one time it snapped in half and goo came out.
This is the way.
Stuart!! Stop playing with your google!!
I grow'd up poor. MY Stretch Armstrong was just an elastic band with a face drawn on it with a pen.
Thats like 90% of toys. Just a means to infect the earth with plastic.
I always liked toys that actually "do stuff" like remote control cars or nerf guns. Action figures just sit there and are boring as F.
I had Gi Joes until I was about 6. We had a shitload of fun with the little green army men though. I dont know if you ever saw Fridays back in the early 80s. Its where Kramer from Seinfeld got his start. It was like SNL.
Anyway Kramer did a bit where he played this 8 year old setting up his army men in elaborate battle scenes and then blowing it all up
Yea that was me. Firecrackers, gas and matches, golf club haha. We would use our bike tires to grind the heads down on some for battlefield casualties lol.
