(Marvel/Mego, 1979) An extremely rare Elastic The Incredible Hulk & box by Mego. As Mego's share of the toy market waned in the late 1970's, they built on their Superhero line with new Elastic Heroes including Superman, Batman, Hulk, and (most appropriately) Plastic Man. Kenner sued Mego, asserting the Elastic Heroes infringed on the patent for their popular Stretch Armstrong toy. Following the lawsuit, the last two figures of the Elastic Hero line, Plastic Man and the Hulk, were produced in extremely short runs. The ultra-rare Elastic Hulk has been named as the "Holy Grail" of both Hulk collectibles Stretch toys and is considered one of the hardest to find of all toys. This Elastic Hulk comes complete with box, original styrofoam and plastic overlay, and "Putting-On- Pants" instructions. Measuring 12.5" tall, the figure is in very good condition, with typical hardening to the fill, a slight crack on the right elbow, and exhibiting convex chest depression to latex. Measuring 14.5" tall and 8.5"x5.5", the box displays in very good condition despite creases and wear throughout. The styrofoam, overlay, and instructions are all in fine condition.
