Stretch Armstrong was first sold in 1976, and is still available today. The dolls were latex skin filled with a thick gel that would give it a little bit of shape inertia.
There was nearly a Stretch Armstrong movie, although the project ultimately fell through. I personally feel that is probably for the best.
Here is an unstretched Armstrong.
And stretched.
He was filled with corn syrup no joke
I remember there was a badguy/nemesis who was full of packing styrofoam, and you used a pump to vacuum the air out and make him moldable/stretchable.
Yup, corn subsidies do wonders
Is that what it was? My brother and I managed to tear the arm off and there was this clear goo in it.
Yes, gelatinized corn syrup!
So, like any typical American kid.
