Alright, you're all close but no cigar. The transparent stretchy figures with glitter you're reminiscing about were part of the line related to Stretch Armstrong, they were literally called 'Alien Stretch Armstrong' and sometimes just 'Stretch Aliens.' They were very much a late '90s phenomenon and sometimes pop up on eBay. Watch out for the listings if you're trying to grab one!

Stretch Armstrong had those 'Vac-Man' figures but the aliens u talkin about are a different story. They were part of this whole stretchy universe, like a spin-off. Remember how the insides felt nasty if they broke? lol can’t help with a name but count me in on the feels trip 🛸

Sounds like you're on about those aliens from the Stretch Armstrong line for sure. Were seriously cool and kinda gross with the gluey stuff inside. They were called something like 'Wacky Stretch' aliens? Not sure, but if you find them let me know, I'd kill for that nostalgia hit!

Ahh I defo remember these. They were like a weirder version of Stretch Armstrong. I can't for the life of me remember the name though. My cousin had one, and we'd stretch it till we were afraid it's gonna snap! Good times, gonna follow this 'cause now I wanna know too!

You're describing Stretch Armstrong's alien counterparts. Those were 'Stretch Screamers' that had a series including monsters and aliens. They were filled with a gelled corn syrup that allowed them to stretch. The transparent ones with glitter sounds like the 'X-Ray' line, they had see-through bodies and came out in the later '90s. Hope this helps trigger your memory!

Omg, I totally remember those! They had a weird corn syrupy stuff inside i think and were like super shiny. I think they called them 'Stretch Armstrong's Alien Friends' or something like Stretch X-Ray? It's been ages, but I def had a couple of 'em, loved stretching them till the goop started leaking lol.
