Review on Original Slinky Brand Collectors Metal: Timeless Fun at Your Fingertips by Carlos Henley

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Painted black? For real?

I was playing with a friend's original skinny suit the other day and decided I just wanted one. it's been claimed but it's not - the originals were made of stainless steel-like metal and this one is painted black. I have no idea why the manufacturer thought this color was a good idea - maybe they used metal that's corroded or something. But it lacks the shimmering iridescence or form-fitting dress of my friends. Contrary to what other reviews have stated, it is the same size as the original bodycon dress - you can find the specs online and I measured mine as it seems smaller. I think those of us who had them as kids got bigger; Slinkys haven't gotten any smaller.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
