Her popularity spread through television shows and children’s books and is still a favorite today. While the world has seen an abundance of dolls to hit the market, Strawberry Shortcake’s key differentiator was that the dolls actually smelled like strawberries. This one-of-a-kind feature exponentially increased the doll’s value. Cabbage Patch Kids The cornsyrup was condensed to just the right viscosity to make the stretch return slowly to its original position as the latex skin reacted against this highly viscosic goo. Collectors of these figures are very aggresive and determined because they know with such limited numbers remaining that at any time they may be all gone. This can make finding the one you want more difficult yet more fun too. Afterall the fun is always in the hunt, right? It took me4 years to find the Stretch Serpent! One can only know how much fun collecting stretches can be if one becomes as obsessed as I have become.Stretches are in a class all by themselves and their value has remained more stable than Gold making them a truely great investment! The original Stretch Armstrong doll by Kenner was a big figure toy filled with corn syrup in the shape of a well-muscled blond man wearing a pair of swimming trunks. The figure was introduced in 1976 but the original idea came from James O. Kuhn in 1974. It stands out from other vintage action figure toys because its arms and legs could stretch outwards (presumably without breaking). Corn syrup filling

Cap guns grew in popularity towards the end of the American Civil War when the gun manufacturers that had produced firearms and ammunition prior to the war began developing toy models as a way to stay in business. Cap guns were further popularized by the introduction of fictional heroes of the American West in movies and television programs. Toy companies like Hubley, Kenton, Kilgore, Wyandotte, and others began entire production lines of cap guns, and the height of their production was a 20-year span in the years that followed World War II.The Furby took the 1990s by storm, igniting the tech-toy boom. With a wide-ranging vocabulary and snarky attitude, the Furby kept kids busy and surely drove some parents insane. A characterized re-release of the toy to correspond with new Star Wars films yielded a resurgence in Furby’s popularity in 2015. Tamagotchi The "stretch man" idea as it was called was pursued with two different bodies in mind. One was a sumo wrestler and the other was an All-American blond hunk. Horowitz sculpted the models himself instead of hiring a freelancer. The sumo man was too bulky and large, so the All-American body was cast by Kenner's model maker Richard Dobek, and the resultant resin model was taken to a latex doll manufacturer in New Jersey, where the first bodies were dipped. the home of fantasy and sci-fi collectables, film and franchise memorabilia, retro toys and high-quality Halloween masks.

The 1990s saw sustained interest in action figures and the rise of high-tech toys. You may still have a few in your closet or be familiar with many of the reissues that have occurred in recent years. Though not the distant past, the ‘90s still yielded a swath of collectible toys. Magic: The Gathering The Kenner Company originally wanted to create a stretchy toy filled with corn syrup in three body types: a woman, a sumo wrestler, and a man. The woman, who was originally designed to compete with the popular Barbie toys, was abandoned, and the sumo wrestler design was too heavy for children to play with. The Kenner Company settled on the man, named Stretch Armstrong, who could stretch up to 4 feet long. Denys Fisher Stretch Incredible Hulk (1979) This figure used the original Stretch Armstrong molds and graphics without permission, and was discontinued due to a lawsuit from Kenner in 1980. [3] Magic: The Gathering was the first trading card game released in 1993, and the phenomenon is still played today. The intricate activity has a number of unique cards to entice players and make things interesting. Each game depicts a battle between wizards known as planeswalkers who cast spells, use artifacts, and summon creatures that are seen on the individual cards. In 2008, Universal Studios signed a deal with Hasbro to create another film based on Stretch Armstrong from a screenplay written by Nicholas Stoller. [10]
