Gre-Gory The vampire bat was pretty much a distant relative of masters of the universe Mosquitor, You would push a button on his back and watch the blood pump in his chest.
Other than the Gre-Gory that I had as a child (that disappeared at some point and I couldn't tell you when) I have never had my hands on or even been in the same room as another one so I guess these have became a rarity over the years.Has anybody out there ran across one in the wild lately?
Never had a Gre-Gory or a Stretch Monster but i did have a Stretch Armstrong that i cut open with a knife to see what was inside of it and panic when it started too ooze it's insides out so i hid it in a box of Christmas Lights which my grandparents found a year later right before the holiday....All stuck together and old Stretch flat as a board. I got a long overdue spanking for that one! lol.
ReplyDeleteHa!I wonder how many people the stretch toys didn't end in a sticky disaster for.After the stretch monster mishap my parents still still bought me a Stretch X Ray a few months later and he fell to pretty much the same fate as stretch monster except a pencil was involved that time.
DeleteI always wanted a Gre-gory but was also very happy with my Stretch Monster. Way better than Stretch Armstrong, which I also had.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe Marvel's never made a Mr Fantastic like that.
Strangely enough I never had Stretch Armstrong (that I can renumber)but had his enemies.
DeleteWow! Never seen this before, looks great!!!!!
ReplyDeleteHe seems to have disappeared completely from the market.Its a true rarity now.
DeleteI had two Gre-Gory bats as my dad worked for Mattel at the time. I believe they are both still out in the garage somewhere and one of them is still in the box.
ReplyDeleteYou should dig them out! they hardly ever show up these days.
DeleteLooking for the Bat and found this old post of yours. Yeah, I had one too. It is nice to see pics on Google about it.
