Let's face it. The 70's sucked.

Original Stretch Armstrong type toys are extremely valuable with people paying upwards of $15,000 for Stretch Hulk

 

I remember having a stretch Hulk over 30 years ago and breaking it ...over 4 years ago I mentioned it on the boards and most people had never heard of it confused-smiley-013.gif

 

Stretch Hulk

 

I get the impression now that it was REALLY rare...so I can't for the life of me figure out how I ever got one in my part of the world 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

The first one I remember was

carbinated beverages while eating them or you stomach would implode.

before pop rocks there was space dust - which did the same thing as pop rocks in your mouth but it was a fine dust instead of a rock- does anybody remember space dust?

Plus, one of the most beautiful cars EVER was produced in the early 70s...

 

Wouldn't that honor really go to the Lamborghini Miura SV? 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

Nope. The Miura is overstylized Eurotrash compared to the pure joy of the Ferrari Daytona's lines.

 

Watch the Gumball Rally sometime and listen the sonorous V-12 sing like an opera star cloud9.gif (with Raoul Julia behind the wheel).

 

[i'll try and add some better pics tonight. smile.gif]

No Way dude, they rock!

I dunno, man. A decade that gave us the 3rd generation Hemi 'Cuda (and other cool early '70s muscle cars), the Stooges' "Raw Power", AC/DC, Motorhead, "Enter the Dragon", and Lynda Carter's boobs is pretty badass in my book...

There's probably enough good stuff there to ignore the David Cassidy anamoly.

You probably had the one produced in the UK by Deny rather than the one produced by Mego in the US

 

There are only 11 known examples of the Deny Hulk still in existance, Lou Ferrigno owns 2 of them! 893whatthe.gif

 

There are only 4 Mego ones known to still exist (I've held 2 of them as 2 are owned by the same person) The Mego ones will always sell for at least $12,000 and I think the last one sold for about $20,000

 

Other Uber-rare ones include Batman, Spider-man, Superman and of all things.... Plastic Man (which there is only ONE known example now)
