They were metal when I was a kid and the ones my kids have are metal. I remember plastic ones sometime in between, but I don't think they sell them anymore. Or they just don't sell them where I shop.  |
Plastic and metal are both currently available. Last year I bought a metal slinky for my son. It was fun while it lasted but is now bent out of shape and is no longer usable. I recently replaced it with the plastic version. It doesn't work quite as well, but I don't think it can become bent out of shape.
