Kids and nostalgic adults can enjoy this series about the DC Comics superhero who stretches his way into and out of trouble. This 4-volume set features all the action of the show that aired after THE SUPERFRIENDS.

For the first time on DVD...

Burbank, CA — The action-packed adventures of DC Comics' legendary superhero "Plastic Man" spring to life on Plastic Man: The Complete Collection, the latest animated DVD release from Warner Home Video. This full series collection (35 episodes) is now available (released Oct 20), and retails for $44.98 SRP.

He can spring, stretch, fly, bounce and even change his shape; there is hardly anything that this superhero can't do! Joined by his girlfriend Penny and his Polynesian sidekick Hula Hula, Plastic Man travels the world, preventing the proliferation of evil. Plastic Man's adventures are quirky, offbeat and filled with slapstick humor. Classic animation fans and kids alike will love this compilation of one of DC Comics´ most endearing characters.

The Plastic Man Comedy/Adventure Show is based on the DC Comics superhero, which originally appeared in comic books in 1941. The original Plastic Man discovered his powers after he was sprayed with an unidentified substance that entered his bloodstream, causing a radical physical change that allowed his body to acquire all of the properties of rubber. Produced by both Ruby-Spears Productions and Hanna-Barbera Productions, The Plastic Man Comedy Adventure Show first aired in 1979 Saturday mornings on ABC, right after The Superfriends.

"Plastic Man is edgy, fresh and unique, definitely one of the most original super heroes ever created," said Amit Desai, WHV Vice President, Family, Animation and Sports Marketing. He added, "Plastic Man's unusual powers and abilities, coupled with his great sense of humor have resulted in his becoming one of the most unforgettable characters from the golden age of comics. The episodes featured on this release are loaded with entertaining stories, spectacular action and great animation. We think cartoon lovers and comic book buffs will be really excited about this DVD set."

It's not hard to find a stretchy crime-fighter… but the original elastic wonder first appeared in Police Comics #1 in August 1941. Plastic Man's distinctive physical presence and tongue-in-cheek nature has made him a favorite of many modern day comic book writers and animation industry icons. DC Comics' writer Mark Evanier, famed cartoon voice actor Tom Kenny, and revered animation producer James Tucker are just a few of PLASTIC MAN'S most ardent supporters.

BONUS FEATURES include:
• Stretch your Plastic Man knowledge with a Plas-tastic Retrospective featurette: a brief history of Plastic Man (the 67 year journey of PLASTIC MAN takes center stage as an informative and entertaining historical featurette with something for the uninitiated bystander and the hard-core PLASTIC fan)
• Enjoy a mindbending Plastic Man animated series unaired Pilot Episode: "Puddle Trouble" (never before aired and rarely seen) - the pilot for what might have been a Plastic Man animated series on Cartoon Network. Watch as our elastic hero captures the crooks, confounds the cops, and learn of his secret origin and history as a hood himself!

Series Synopsis:
Supple super hero Plastic Man bends criminals to justice in these 35 exciting animated adventures from the vintage TV Series. Jetsetting around the world in the Plastijet with girlfriend Penny and sidekick Hula Hula, the cool, confident Plas wraps up evil villains like Solex, Weed, Half-Ape, The Clam, Computerhead and Disco Mummy. With the power to conform to any shape or size, Plas can grow, shrink or flex his way out of any situation - except Penny's jealous grip.

Never yielding under pressure, the only cracks in his super hero style are the quips he throws at his nemeses while turning the tables on them. When danger calls, this is the only 4-Disc Collector's Set - including elastically exciting extras - with enough twists to showcase Plastic Man!
