Had totally forgotten about that toy until I saw it recently on TV. I bought it for our boys years ago and to see it back really made me nostalgic. Did anyone else by this toy back in the day?

I'll tell my 31 year-old son. He may want to buy it for his 6 year-old son. Stretch Armstrong sure kept my son entertained in the car. When I found Stretch buried in the snow in the backyard, I transferred Stretch to the cylinder container in the garage.

OMG...yes, we had one.

My sons had a stretchy doll like that but that face doesn't look familiar.

Yes, I bought the toy for one of my nephews. The others already had "Stretch."

I'll have to tell my sister the toy is back. It was a huge favorite at her house.

I remember Stretch, brings back childhood memories playing with my friends. I didn't have one since I played with Barbies, but the neighbor boys did. They were really rough and would see how far they could pull Stretch, he got quite the workout. I can remember the younger brother wanted to know what made Stretch "stretchy" so he stabbed his with some scissors. All this gelatin-like goo started to ooze out....poor Stretch.

I'm putting it on my Christmas List.

I remember Stretch Armstrong was under the Christmas tree for my youngest one year. He is now 38! And I recently saw a Pawn Star episode where someone brought one in.
