He was the guy doll that was about 16 inch or so tall & it was some sort of rubber that you could stretch & pull all out of shape.We had a few of those growing up& we had a blast seeing how much you could stretch it till you could'nt no more.

I didn't have stretch, but I had his dog. I don't remember his name.
I had Stretch Monster, the guy who resembled the creature from the black lagoon. Oddly enough, my little sister LOVED him and played with him more than I did.
I had stretch arm monster which we busted by stretching too far, we put it in the fridge (or maybe the freezer) cos that was supposed to keep him healthy, don't remember who told me that but it was bollocks cos the arm still split and wierd goo came out, was like set glue if I remember!
Wasn't he filled with corn syrup or something like that. His dog's name was Fetch Armstrong.
That stuff that leaked out turned into industrial strength epoxy resin when it dried. I remember it ruined the finish on a bookshelf I had. Didn't he also come with bandages?
I still have Stretch, Fetch, & Ninja Stretch Armstong. They were cool but use to get bored fast with em.
Fetch Armstrong! I had him. He got kind of gross after a while...the only thing that stayed normal looking was his plastic head.
I had him and then got 2 stretch Hulks one Christmas from different older siblings. That was cool! Dueling Hulks.
I had one....I stretched him to much...it made a mess when the rubber outside snapped. LOL
my step brother got the stretch monster for his birthday when he was like 12 years old, I was only about 8 and i was so jealous, i wanted on so bad, a year or two later I got one. great toy and i loved the smell of the thing.
I got one of these on Christmas. The next day it was missing. I found out later in life that my Dad and Uncle stretched it so much that it broke!!
What is stretch armstrong made of? What is the stuff inside. I have asked that question for years and I still don't know.
A friend of mine has a stress ball that feels it's made out of the same stuff that Stretch Armstrong is made out of. Does anyone know where you can buy them??
I didn't have Stretch. I had Ollie the Stretch Octopus. He was blue and had stretchy legs. I was so sad when he started leaking and my dad made me throw him away.
I had strech and his dog!!! loved them! I did cut into his arm and this clear I think maybe silver goo was inside!
I remember the goo inside to be dark red, but I can barely remember this at all. It is a confused memory for me, and I thought for awhile that it had something to do with Neil and the moonlanding, lol. I was about 3 when my brother had one and we stretched his arm too far. Or cut him open...
My friend cut his in half to see what was inside.
