About this item:
There’s only one Original Slinky Brand! Celebrate 75 years of wiggly-jiggly fun with Slinky! Generations of children and adults have loved playing with Slinky. This classic metal spring toy walks downstairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slink-ity sound. First invented by mechanical engineer Richard James in 1943 during an experiment with tension coils. James accidentally dropped a spring on the floor and watched as it began to “walk.” Two years later, he introduced his walking spring toy in Gimbels Department Store, and the Slinky immediately sold out. Since its debut, over 300 million Slinkys have been sold worldwide. In 2000, this classic toy was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame. Made 75 years ago, Slinky continues to be a favorite toy of children and adults all over the world. Slinky is fun for a girl or a boy ages 5 and up. Everyone loves a Slinky!

5.0 out of 5 stars The original slinky
I purchased this for my 11 year old grandson who saw it online and was SO excited to try it. LOL. Low tech, no batteries, old school fun. He's been playing with it for weeks. Eventually it will probably get 'sprung' as it goes with slinkys -but for now, he has been loving it. Having said all of this, I never hesitate to update my reviews should new info seem useful.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a Slinky... What Else is There to Know?
It's a Slinky... What else is there to know? It's perfectly great as a slinky toy. I like that it's metal like the ones I played with when I was a little girl. I gave it 5 Stars all the way for its "intended purpose" as a toy.What I'm about to say has no bearing on my review but I thought I'd share a little added info about the Slinky's alternative use as a critter / squirrel deterrent since I thought there may be others who have decided to purchase a Slinky for that same reason I did. Let me just say it was a TOTAL FAILURE and total waste of money as a squirrel deterrent and I'm glad I put out only one of the two Slinkies I bought. Don't waste your money if you are expecting to use it to keep the squirrels away from your bird feeder. Mine worked the first day. In fact, I took pleasure witnessing a squirrel trying to climb up my feeder pole and he immediately took that elevator ride straight down to the ground floor and ran away. I thought to myself, "Yay, this is going to work!!". :-D HOWEVER, it did not take long for the squirrels to stop being afraid of it and they started climbing it anyway. Also, I'm not so sure that raccoons weren't climbing up the pole at night because the Slinky became extremely stretched out so much so I think something really heavy was climbing. Either way, it was destroyed in less than a week. : '-( I haven't removed it yet and the squirrels just ignore it and climb straight up the pole and hang upside down on my "squirrel proof" bird feeder for their daily buffet.So to summarize.... it works great for its intended purpose as a toy but a total failure as a critter deterrent at the bird feeder. I gave 5 STARS for being a toy!
4.0 out of 5 stars Normal metal slinky
Works as intended, bends after extended use, good size, and looks nice.
5.0 out of 5 stars Bigger than Expected, but Works
This was bigger than I expected (I did not read the size in the description, so I assumed it was the size of the slinkys I would use as a child. Otherwise it seemed perfect. It works as a slinky, and had no defects. I think it was a good value for the cost.
5.0 out of 5 stars slinky always great
growing up with playing with slinky had to purchase a few and gave one to my grandson to show him how to let the slinky walk down th steps ha ha ha ..they good for all ages but i say age from 4+ my opinion though not babies because if they're not being watched they might think its a teether or just put in their mouth and also slinky's are good always keeping squirrels! away from bird feeders! just either strap or hang and stretch the slinky and squirrels hate it ha ha ha ....
3.0 out of 5 stars A Small Version of the Original
Well, as I recall Slinky's were a little bigger than the one I received. It works fine, but it's just not the same.
5.0 out of 5 stars squirrel deterrent
i purchased this to put over the pole that holds the bird feeders. Before the slinky, they were sometimes able to scale the pole up to the bird feeder. Since I attached the slinky over the pole, then are unable to climb or if they jump higher up on the pole, then have a nice ride down the pole as it stretches, fun to watch. They have given up on trying, I am sure a new squirrel will try with the same funny results
Desestresante
De acero y es el original. Es el tamaño pequeño porque hay uno más grande en circunferencia. Me gusta.
Good gift idea
Purchased for my nephew. It arrived quickly and he really enjoyed it. It did get pushed out of shape when my small daughter played with it so be aware it is not super durable.
Un clásico
La de toda la vida, en metal.
Don't expect non-damaged product
One circle damaged little bit.Dairelerden biri bükülmüş, değişim için uğraşmayacağım.
Très petit
Très petit surtout comparé aux modèles colorés en plastique...
