Getting them started early

Why couldn't there have been Hulk merchandise like this when I was a kid?

Re: Why did they not have this when we were younger?

Actually, they did have the Incredible Hulk Muscle Suit. I had it when I was 8 years old (1982) for Christmas. It wasn't as sophisticated as this one. The one I had basically had two plastic "balloons" for the arms and a "pillow balloon" with a separation in between as the chest. It was attached to one another (don't remember how) but you had to strap them around the arms and chest. The directions said to put a loose shirt on top of the muscles. There was a bulb and hose attached to one side of the muscle suit and you had to squeeze the air in and you started to "grow." Then there was a release valve to deflate your muscles. Unfortunately, the toy lasted for only six months because I busted open the chest and arm muscles like a balloon from inflating them too much. I wanted to be really big.....

If I had gotten my hands on that as a kid I KNOW I'd have broken it from excessive wear and tear too...

That sort of toy was the thing I dreamed about as a kid. I didn't know about the '82 version, so I kind of made my own: I took some of those stretch super-hero pajamas, and inserted lots of unused clothing. I called it my "Muscle-suit" and I believe that's how I learned to JO. Boy one of those new Increadable hulk toys would have been nice, and a lot less embarasing. One night my mom & stepdad came home early, and it had to be the woarst time possible for me. They were both very reassuring. My mom told me that she stuffed her bra at that age, and my step father offered to get me a weight set, and I gym membership if I wanted. I took him up on both offers, but didn't know what to do at that age (about 13/14). I'd still like an adult version...
