Description: These are original black shorts from the iconic 1976 Stretch Armstrong figure by Kenner. The shorts are in Very Good Used Condition (VGUC), showcasing only minor wear consistent with their age. A small, barely noticeable spot of corn syrup residue is present, as seen in the photos, but does not detract from the overall appearance. The waistband elastic remains stretchy and is 75% attached to the waist—only a thread or two is missing, which does not impede the function. These shorts are incredibly rare, making them a valuable addition for collectors. Stretch Armstrong History: Stretch Armstrong was a popular toy figure introduced by Kenner in 1976. The figure was unique due to its stretchy, corn syrup-filled body that allowed it to be pulled and twisted to several times its original size, yet still return to its normal form. Designed as a blond, muscular superhero, Stretch Armstrong became an icon of 1970s toy culture. His popularity led to multiple re-releases and inspired a variety of other stretchable toys. Although not featured in any major movies or TV shows, Stretch Armstrong has remained a nostalgic symbol of childhood for many, and his vintage items are highly sought after by collectors today.
