- It's tight. It's colorful. It's form-fitting. It stretches. It's the perfect material for costumed crime-fighting, or costumed crime-committing. Of course, as an added bonus, it looks pretty nice too. And that's on girls, or on juicy little boy wonders. On the other hand though, this is why we don't have fat superheroes. That's not as much fun.

I tracked down the original molder who made the parts and talked to some home workers who assembled them at their homes from 1967 through 1968. The toy was labeled as a psychedelic sensation and was skin packaged on 4-1/4 inch by 14 inch printed chipboard. More can be found out about the recent reincarnation of the op-yop at WWW.op-yop.com

People on drugs. Middle-aged accountants. Everybody thought that spandex was just the bee's knees.
