Rating:

My grandsons love the slinkys. The only thing, which has always been the case, is that they kink very easily.

Better than the other plastic or shorter metal Slinkys. Even works down the stairs! My daughter loves it.

Excellent Quality

This version of the slinky is much better quality than the typical type found in toy stores. It is worth spending the extra money.

Old Fashioned Slinky Rules!
Posted 12/27/2007 by Jolynn Luttrell

Rating:

The old fashioned metal slinky is vastly superior to the newer plastic ones. There are many physical phenomenon that can only be observed with the metal version. Our kids love it.

My boys love it! Someone suggested I buy the plastic version because it was cheaper, but I am glad I stuck with this one. It is well made and inexpensive. And like I said, my guys love it!

Slinkys Are So Much Fun!
Posted 12/21/2007 by Deb Kelly

Rating:

We used the Slinkys to help keep little ones entertained while they waited their turn for wedding pictures. The price allowed us to buy enough for every ring bearer, flower girl and candle lighter. In spite of being a "quiet" toy, (the foyer of the church was perfect), the kids had a blast playing with them!

My son loves Slinkys! This one is great. I love the unique black color and of course it does all the tricks I remember from when I had one as a child. I would recommend this to all Slinky lovers everywhere!

Review of Collectors Edition Slinky
Posted 11/27/2007 by Maria Schiffer

Rating:

My two sons, 4 years and 6 1/2 years, both love Slinkys. Also, I highly recommend purchasing the original Slinky. The plastic or even metal imitations aren't worth it even if they were free. They always tangle, don't work on stairs, and basically, cause a lot of frustration.

Great Office Toy!

I have the Slinky by my desk at work and use it as a stress reliever. My colleague uses it as a decoration! A lot of us have them and we all love it. As an engineer, my favorite trick is to demonstrate wave propagation and reflection using the Slinky. This is a very cool looking, simple but smart toy.

It's a nice toy, and looks nice as well. I like the black colour a lot, which is hard to find elsewhere.

2 Slinkies

My stepson recieved a Slinky for a gift, and it was soon pulled apart by the other kids and was non-functional. (There was no slink left in the slinky.) I set out to find another one just like it...He has since enjoyed playing with the new one, now that he knows how to use it.

Review for Collectors Edition Slinky

We were finding that the current plastic slinky toys were rather easily bent and not like the ones we remembered from years age. We are pleased to have the original metal version. We are sure they will stand up well and give our grandchildren many hours of fun.

Truly a Classic!
Posted 2/21/2006 by Barry Hayes

Rating:

If I had to choose a true classic in childrens toys I would have to say it's "Slinky". It's a combination of the sound of it (that "schikkk, schikkkk...), the fact that it's very simple and lo-tech (batteries NOT required!)........AND It can walk down stairs! How cool is that!?! I remember just enjoying the feel of holding one end in each hand and see-sawing my hands up and down. So, when I pulled this "Collector's Edition" Slinky (love the matte black color of this one, not the silver that I remembered) out of the box I had to see-saw it just a couple times.....MMMMMMMmmmmmm, just like old times. Slinkies still have the fatal flaw of being able to tangle and stretch out but hey, any toy can be broken. Still it's as much fun now as ever. Love it.

Slinky
Posted 2/16/2006 by Ms. Lowe

Rating:

I was really looking forward to the arrival of the Slinky we ordered because I had had one as a child and remembered the delight I experienced when playing with it back then. However, this slinky, rather than being made of a heavy round metal ring, seems to have an element of plastic in it and rather than being round, the rings are flattened. The result is that within hours of receiving it, the slinky got entangled and as we tried to unravel it, it got bent out of shape. The fact that it is so light weight also contributed to difficulties in making it go down steps easily. It sort of just slid around. In conclusion, it was a great disappointment and I believe, a waste of money. Rather than a gift certificate I would wish my money back, because I think it was sort of false advertisement to call it a "Collectors Edition": it was nothing like the original.
(Note from Fat Brain Toys: No longer snarled by a defective slinky, Ms. Lowe promptly received a full refund.)

Information about Collectors Edition Slinky

I ordered two as gifts for friends and so I had to check it out before sending it to them; I actually included the 1945 patent for the original slinky along with it. It's great and I think you should continue to sell it! I'm thinking of buying one for myself.

Just like the one I had when I was a kid. Much better than the plastic ones which were being marketed a few years ago. My son loves it!

I ordered 2 Slinkys and both of them arrived in perfect condition, including their individual cardboard boxes. Kids enjoyed the gifts as much as I did when I was a kid! Great throwback item and the 'black metal' Slinky is superior to what i normally see in stores.

Slinky
Posted 11/3/2005 by Philip

Rating:

The slinky arrived in excellent non-damaged condition. It will be a Christmas gift for my son, but of course I had to play with it a few minutes after he went to bed. I'm sure he will develop the same fond memories that I have as a child playing with the ingenoius toy.
