Sadly no. I wanted one but my parents were convinced I'd loose an eye or something. n/t Joe Shlabotnik May 2012 #2

than keeping your slinky in shape!

Inexplicably addictive to watch, though.

What walks down stairs, alone or in pairs, and makes a slinkity sound?
A spring, a spring, a marvelous thing! Everyone knows it's Slinky.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky. For fun it's a wonderful toy.
It's Slinky, it's Slinky. It's fun for a girl or a boy.

When it was Slinky time we would look for interesting places that had steps or a ramp or hill. One might think that this limitation on where it could be enjoyed would ruin some of the fun but it was actually the opposite.

I really did not like the plastic ones as they were cheap pieces of crap that fell apart very fast. Give me the metal ones every day of the week.

I did like the colors on the plastic though.
