If someone can cite these things then feel fgree to re-add them. But I think I read somewhere that the toy was actually filled with corn syrup. (even mentioned in the Plastic Man article) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Feddx (talk • contribs) 15:31, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

Safety issues, weaponization
[edit]The toy was filled with a thick corn starch and water or corn syrup mixture making a non newtonian fluid. When force is applied the fluid instantly hardens. Reports of injuries to children when struck with the toy. The toy when striking a child turned into a heavy rock hard club. Some reports speculated more injuries from the toy happened that weren't reported because children didn't report fearing the toy would be confiscated. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.164.73.58 (talk) 17:43, 11 July 2020 (UTC)

Repair Kit
[edit]I saw one of these toys at a friend's house long ago, as his kids played with it. Their kit had some elastic band-aids for repairing the figure should it spring a leak due to a tear in the "skin"! WHPratt (talk) 15:10, 31 July 2024 (UTC)
