All these toys freaked me out because I couldn't cope with the texture. 😹
Yeah I can understand that, they do feel strange but they are so cool!
Love the sound this makes, the other Stretch Armstrong toys are doing the rounds again but I haven't seen this one come back.
I think a smaller version of vacman has come back but it's not as cool looking as this one
@@oddpodshow that's usually the case!
I had the Fetch the dog toy as a kid. I loved it and played with it loads. Then it started leaking and the stuff that came out tasted nice. I was strange child.
Yeah I didn't taste what came out of my stretch Armstrong, I don't just eat random stuff like you ha ha
@@oddpodshow You're missing out hahah
@@Tamaracade I'll have to tuck in to a tasty stretch Armstrong sometime
Congratulations on the reunion guys.💪🧠🍀
Ha ha thanks
Nostalgia at its best. I remember tying a stretch Armstrong to two cars and ripping it in half.
Jeez that's like a weird medieval torture 😂 poor stretch. Thanks for watching 😁
You got him at last! I remember you talking about trying to get him years back, so happy you finally got him
Yeah, my mind was blown when I managed to grab him for way under what I would always see it go for. Awesome to finally have it...now I just need stretch and fetch 😁
Try American eBay.
Cool great haul
awesome! happy for you that you were able to find one of your holy grail items! i swear this guy looks crazy familiar to me, but i know i never had the toy, just maybe familiar with it from the commercials or something. i've still got a good number of holy grail items i'd love to add to my collection, and maybe with conventions kicking off again with covid restrictions lifting, i'll be able to track them down. congrats Dan!!
Hope you find some grails then, maybe of your childhood friends had a vacman?
1st and second
Jeez that was the fastest someone has ever commented on one of our videos 😂
This is nuts! Never even heard of this.
Really?! You missed out! Vacman is awesome! Thanks for watching 😁
I have the new small vac man and I really want the big one but brilliant video keep it up
Vac man is great 😁 thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it
I use to have Vac-Man
Nice, it's a great toy 😁
That figure is super cool
Yeah vac man is awesome
I remember the Stretch Armstrong commercials well & they were pretty funny, I always thought Vac-Man was strange looking but neat. Maybe Vac-Man could be a regular on the show? He might hit it off well with the Boglin!
Ha ha as soon as I get stretch and fetch (which are pricey) will definitely be doing an awesome video on them
Hey glad you’re back
Thanks...it's only been a few weeks though ha ha 😅
Nice! As far as I'm aware there was never a Cap Toys mini Vac-Man in the 90s, just a 2000s Hasbro version with a different face that doesn't need the separate pump, instead you pump him with his head (his neck goes up and down), and then the release button is on the top of his head.
Yeah I think my memory is just a little messed up after all these years, it's great to have it again though
Total classic toy that. I never had any of the Stretch Armstrong toys. I remember a friend having Stretch and it splitting open one day.
My current holy grail toy is a Transformer called ThunderClash. Super hard to find one in one piece cos he has that dreaded gold plastic all over him. Would be happy with a modern reissue with good plastic to be honest.
Yeah it's really cool, well I hope you find it sometime 😁
Ah! I remember this! I always wanted a Stretch Armstrong but never got one! I do remember the adverts for Vac-Man
Really cool toys, played with them so much especially vac man. Thanks for watching 😁
The my toy box videos were cool
My dad had that same toy.
He gave it to me as a birthday present when i turned 13.
Definitely a must have item for any collector 👍👍👍.
That's great! Yeah it's such a cool toy. Gonna do a proper review video on it soon :) thanks for watching
my stretch was his size! there was also like smaller ninja variants
Yeah I think it was just my memory playing tricks with me perhaps
Yay! I'm happy you finally found your Holy Grail, I'm sure the Lady of the Lake was with you in spirit that day.
Bonus happiness points for getting it boxed too, Bargain!! 😊
Yeah it's great to finally have vac man in my life again 😁 just stretch and fetch next 😅
Great point you made Dan an item doesn't have to be mega expensive to be a grail piece. If it holds a piece of special nostalgia that's what its about that's why i collect for the memories and bringing back those happy times . your gunna have to grab the rest now mate 😂😉 so pleased for you nice one 👍
Yeah definitely, it could cost you hardly anything but if it means a lot to you then that's what's important. I'm very happy to have this again and yeah...gonna have to get the rest of the stretch Armstrong stuff now...but I've seen the prices...one day I'll get them ha ha 😂
Awesome holy grail mate 👌one of my holy grails would be the ford explorer boxed from jurassic park 😀👍
Thank you, it's great to have it back. Oh I definitely need to start getting Jurassic park stuff but it's so pricey these days
I remember these! Had a Vac-man and my best friend destroyed it by over stretching it and splitting the rubber. Only time I was genuinely upset at him as a child.
That sucks, yeah I was always careful to not overstretch
IM sure 90s ones only Vac Man and Stretch was in the Large size. My brother used to have a Vac Man but the head got damaged. I never had the Dog but have the Green Grining neon Fly it came with probally got it from a car boot stall or market stall.
I guess it's just memories from 25 years ago messing with my head, ahh yeah the fly, forgot about that
Hell yeah! Vacman is the don!
Yeah vacman is awesome, everyone should have a vacman
Have thought of reviewing some wrestling movies like no holds barred and body slam are the two movies that come to mind .
No holds barred definitely! I've not seen body slam so ill have to look that one up
I usted to have the small Fetch back in the day, the thing with the bone happened to me as too!
Nice 😊
Stretch limo! That's hilarious!
Yeah it's awesome 😂 and now I neeeeed it
I had this one and remember it being massive back then! Cried my eyes out when his beans all spilled out haha
Yeah it's awesome, aww that sucks
I loved my Vac Man, until the pump broke and he never got hard again :P
Ha ha, yeah the reason I never got one until now was because of the pump either being missing or broken on any I'd come across
Congratulations on the find!
Thank you 😌
I loved the look of Vac-Man as a kid but was a little too old I think! Intrigued to know how long the plastic will last before perishing.
Yeah I was worried about stretching him incase he tore but I thought I'd take a chance for the video ha ha
@@oddpodshow I wonder if they've ever done a rerelease? I notice Amazon sells a more modern one and the face looks different! £26.06!
@@RetroSegaDev yeah vacman and stretch line have had a few re-releases over the years
Could you do more pog videos?
I'm sure we will end up doing more pog videos sometime
Also wonder full video also with the long hair you . Look like metal Jesus rocks or Randy savage .
Ha ha 😂 thanks...I think.
@@oddpodshow yes it is a complement.
YES! What a pleasant surprise for me when you revealed Vac Man.
No, sadly I didn't have this guy as a kid... but I wanted him SO BADLY. My younger brother had the 7" Stretch and we had a lot of fun with him, but I always wanted Vac Man! For some reason I never had one. I looked him up a few years ago on ebay, and was surprised to see the other strange relatives to Vac Man. Have you seen them? If I'm not mistaken, they're super rare. There was a yellow gun, and I believe a turquoise one. They had different heads and bodies. I think they may have been from a later release that was very limited or something, because at the time I really struggled to find any information about them online.
Anyway, thanks for another terrific video, Dan!
Yeah I've seen a bunch of other versions, I really need to do more research on them...I'm still blown away that there's a vehicle I never knew about ha ha 😂 love having the great toy back. Thanks for watching 😁
@@oddpodshow Reacquiring a long-lost toy from your childhood is such a fantastic feeling! (Along with filling in the gaps of other toys in the same line that you wanted to have but didn't). I've had so much fun going back and collecting Dino-Riders, Madballs, TMNT, and others.
Anyway, as you're going back and researching Stretch Armstrong, maybe consider doing a video all about the line! Might be a fun one, and you can work in some kinda weird storyline where you and/or some of the others in the OddPod crew find themselves feeling a bit... stretchy!
There's a terrific resource, if you haven't already seen it, at
www.StretchArmstrongWorld.com
@@Tfor2show oooo awesome, yeah will definitely do a bigger Armstrong vid in the future
@@oddpodshow Looking forward to it! And hoping to see Murray with some super-long arms. 😄
@@Tfor2show ha ha 😂
Great box art too
Yeah it's awesome
Wow, fully stretched he's almost as tall as Matt
Almost....almost
Wow, fully stretched he still looks less like a noodle than chalky.
That looks sooo cool 😎
It is so cool! You should get one! Everyone should get one! Vac man for everyone!!!
I remember vac-man when I was a kid and the commercial was cool. 😀👍
Yeah it's such a cool toy, very happy to have it back, thanks for watching 😁
@@oddpodshow your welcome. 😀👍
That doesn’t look like a Holy Grail. I was expecting some kind of nifty goblet!
In all seriousness though, the Stretch Armstrong stuff passed me by at the time but that does look pretty cool. It’s nice to see all these old toys from back in the day; and hearing your nostalgia brings it all to life. :)
Yeah it was a cool but small toyline, I'm sure it passed a lot of people by. But not me, loved it 😁
@@oddpodshow That’s what counts. :)
