The Original Slinky Brand Collector's Edition Metal Original Slinky Kids Spring Toy

We are an active duty family stationed overseas in Japan and my children would get plastic slinky's as prizes from school that always broke within one day. I told my kids about the real slinky I had as a child and that it lasted a long time. My kids really wanted a real slinky, so I ordered two of them for Christmas stocking presents. They went over very well and the product was very heavy duty and made to last. The bonus for me is that they came "blued" meaning black instead of the old silver color. The kids loved them. Thank you for sending me a very well made and good product!!!

Just like the good old days

I got two, for my 5 yo and 2 yo. They both love the slinky and play with it quite a bit. Of course they got other gifts for Christmas, but considering how cheap this was, I got lots of bang for my buck. It is of better quality than most I have seen and has a coating on it so that it is not sharp on the edges. Just get one!

Maybe it's just that I've grown a little bigger since the last time I handled one of these bad boys. But I remember it being longer than this one seems to be. We've all tried to have this thing slink down the steps (even have it pictured on the box), but this one is too short to make it over the steps. The most anyone of us has been able to make it go is from top step, to 2 steps down. Maybe our steps are deeper than average.Other than that, it's a slinky.

Have them to try blocking the squirrels. Seen a video on the Slinky being used to keep the bird seed from squirrels.And I couldn't resist playing with them, the sounds and going faster and faster with the coil.

I recently played with an original style slinky at a friends house, and decided i wanted one, just for fun. this claimed to be that, but it wasn't - the originals were a metal which looked like stainless steel, and this is painted black. I have no idea why the manufacturer thought this paint was a good idea - maybe they were using metal which corroded or something. But this is missing the shimmering iridescence or my friends slinky.Unlike other reviews claimed, it IS the same size as a the original slinky - you can find the specs online, and I measured mine since it does seem smaller. I think those of us who had them as kids got bigger; the slinkys didn't get smaller.

The media could not be loaded. i don't know how people are complaining about the slinky not working on the stairs. i have 13 steps on my stairs and the steps is 12inc wide and 8inc high and im able to get mine down all the way fine with no issues. as for the black coating it hasn't been coming off and nor getting every where like some reviews saying it was. i made a video and the slinky i used a different slinky in the video that been cut shorter at least lost 5 coils been cut off it and it gets down my steps fine. this is a great item.

You know that video where someone has a slinky on their tall pole bird feeder and the squirrel keeps dropping down to the ground and can never get into the bird feeder? IT WORKS! After I "laced" this around the pole of my bird feeder, a squirrel happened by a few minutes later, and he took a few looks at the slinky, and ran off without attempting it! I bet anything there's some neighbors who have done similar!Yes, it rusts when exposed to the elements, but if it's only being used outside and not for kids, then it makes no difference to me! The birds can enjoy their feed and suet without the pesky squirrels!

Cansado de que se rompa la version de plastico? Este es la solucion... metalico, con excelente acabado y puntas protegidas...

商品自体は、子供が欲しがっていたものであり、また、なかなか手に入らない状況であったので、充分に満足しておりますが、届いた品物は全体に錆が浮いており、そのままでは触れない状態でした。錆落としをしましたが完全には取り切れず、手につかない状態となったところで子供に渡しました。出品者のPositronicさんに問い合わせてみましたが、出荷等の手続きには問題はなかったと返信があっただけであり、やや対応には不満足です。輸入品の場合は仕方がないのでしょうか。

This item is awful. It barely bends, will not make it down a single step, is covered in a disgusting greasy oil that covered everything it touched. Do not purchase!!

Es un juguete muy entretenido, de excelente calidad.

I have to take a look at the actual product but the box is super beat up, I chose it partly due to the vintage look packaging, it's for a birthday gift
