They are the best preserved out of all the stretches.
By no means should the X be ignored.The Stretch X Ray is often found more stiff than the rest because they were originally mixed a bit stiffer. Keep in mind these X's are one of the original first 7 stretches to be produced, what I like to call the Alpha 7. A most recent ebay sale of over $728.00 has brought this x rays value to a much higher level. Stretch X Ray Figure The X Ray has become much more rare these days.Value $1,800.00 to $2,500, A Stretch Armstrong in need of repairs may sell between $400.00 and $550.00 Box with all sides and top flap intacked,not taped on. Instruction Book,Stretch mat, all bandaids and super rare plastic Baggy that holds bandaids,Neck Tag, Styrofoam coffin and Lid. The Original Stretch Armstrong Figure is becomming more valuable by the year as the very few remaining figures are being scooped up by collectors all over the globe leaving only the last stragglers to be found in very limited quantity.A most awsome figure that is the Tarzan of the Strech Kingdom World.This value for the Original Vintage Stretch Armstrong from 1976 is when the figure is mint with no blemishes to the skin,No Leaks anywhere,ie neck.Still somewhat soft (compareable to warm taffy)at room temperature.Head must be perfect with all paint present.If you own any one of these vintage stretch figures, you have a great investment that will grow to a small fortune in years to come.This is the only place you will find actual true values set for these great vintage collectables, right here on Stretch Armstrong World, Enjoy I will be reevaluating the appraisals from time to time due to the limited circulation of these awsome collectable figures and most recent sales. In most cases these prices would go much higher depending on a buyers financial status or the demand for a particular Stretch figure.Remember, When you find a Stretch figure, you are very lucky to share in somthing that most people will never have.There are only a handful of these vintage figures left in the world today. These Vintage and very valuable Stretches are no longer for play although I must confess to a few stretches myself now and then. Luckily the few that survived were randomly stored in the right,cool, dry locations and if continued to do so can be preserved for another 30 years and more. Most were torn apart in the first few days of 1976 christmas, and most others were just plain old thrown into the garbage after being left in a 110 degree attick or a freezing garage which caused them to ooz and split. Imagine having one of these babies in 20 to 30 more years when there are even fewer remaining.The other reason these Stretch Figures are in fact so valuable is due to that fact that they really shouldnt even be around today. Stretches are are very unique action figure requiring great care. Not to mention Stretches were produced by the number one toy company's in the world, Kenner and Mego!These are not PVC action figures. Some more recent sales of December 2007 being 5 stretch figures sold for almost $10,000! and a Denys fisher Stretch Hulk selling for over $4,000 ! as well as a Mego Elastic Batman seling for $7,500 in March of 2008.And the only Mint Batman reaching 15,000!You may ask, Stretch King, why are these Stretch Figures so valuable? Well boys and Girls, you must understand that any toy that has such limited quantity remaining as well as the potential for any remaining stretch figures today to be mistreated, and stretched to ruin creates a very very rare item with still declining numbers today. Many recent sales have actually sold much higher than some of these appraisals and hence forced me to increase there values.These appraisals if anything are very conservative figure. Please keep in mind ,these prices are for the complete package which are seldom found all together. These appraisals are based on what I have seen these stretches sell for on ebay, Actual purchase offers, and private sales as well as their condition, completeness, ie paperwork, neck tags, softness, rareity, and what I have seen collectors like myself pay. We will see on the next 4 photo pages Please use your own judgement when purchaseing these fine Stretches, As there is never a garuntee on what you may buy or sell them for.
