Stretch Armstrong

Rubbery strongman doll

Stretch Armstrong is a gel-filled rubber action figure toy that can be pulled to several times its original length and returns to shape.

First sold in the 1970s, the name now serves as a reference for anything or anyone remarkably flexible or elastic: She's like Stretch Armstrong—yoga five days a week.
