Evil X-ray Wretch Armstrong is only 7 inches tall whereas Stretch X-ray was over 12 inches tall. Wretch Armstrong seems to be a redesigned, smaller remake of Stretch X-Ray but in reality looks nothing like the 1970s version.

This new reissue figure was introduced in 19 version exist with slightly different art work. The reissue stretch Armstrong had a more comical exaggerated face and mouth and had on a t-shirt and shorts. Stretch Armstrong was reissued in the 1990s by Cap Toys, with a canine sidekick, "Fetch Armstrong". A vacuum pump, which attached to the heads of these figures, removed the air from within, which "froze" the toy in its stretched position. The last two were filled with a granular solid in place of the viscous liquid found in the other figures.

The original 1970s Stretch is very collectible now and commands high prices on the secondary collectors' market, selling for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. The original Stretch Armstrong figure was conceived and developed by Bill Armasmith, and was in production from 1976 until 1980 when production was stopped.
