Hello writers. I'd like to incorporate a real toy from the late '70's in my YA WIP. I know most kids won't be familiar with it, so I've described it. Please let me know whether the description below works for you, whether or not it gives you a fairly accurate mental image of the real doll.
I've attached a picture of it below, but please read the description first. Thanks.
Next to the eight ball, sitting in a menacing crouch, sat Stretch X-Ray, the nemesis to Stretch Armstrong––who had long since been torn apart by overzealous stretching. Duncan picked up the translucent creature and kneaded its petroleum filled body, loosening up the limbs with friction from his hands. It was a terrific monster. It had a gaping mouth filled with bloody teeth; a giant, naked brain; and completely exposed internal organs––including something like a heart, but which was positioned lower down, in a non-human location. Stretch Armstrong had been the more mundane of the two––not that that in any way warranted his destruction. He was styled like an old-fashioned wrestler, with little blue underpants painted onto his pinkish, opaque skin. When he was stretched he became thin and frightened looking, while when Stretch X-Ray was stretched, his organs became clearer, and his bulbous head seemed that much more menacing.
