Made by Kenner, Stretch Armstrong was sold between 1976 and 1980. It was a gel-filled, 15-inch action figure with a torso, neck, and limbs that could be stretched to many times their original length. Many similar toys have been produced since, but there was only ever one true Stretch.
How we’d update it: Sound! Our new Stretch Armstrong would be able to play various sounds depending on the limb being stretched and on how fast and far you were stretching it. For added fun, you could record your own sounds to have him play them back.
