 Some comments, in no particular order: 
 * I don't think the "®" mark in the lead is necessary or appropriate.  We don't use it in other game or toy articles such as Monopoly (game), Barbie, etc. 
 * The lead section should probably be two paragraphs, not one.  It needs to summarize a couple of other aspects from the article, such as the continued affordability and the 300 million sales figure. 
 * Why does the caption of the first image say "Metal Slinky"? Is there any other kind of Slinky?  
 * I'm not sure the fair use rationale on File:Betty James 2001 NY Times.jpg is valid.  It's a copyrighted photograph of J.D. Cavrich/The Altoona Mirror, via Associated Press, that's very recent (2001).  Most "contemporary press photos" are ruled out by Wikipedia:Non-free content#Images 2 item #6.  I don't think the fact that the person has died since 2001 changes this.  Are you sure this image would survive WP:IfD? 
 * I'm not sure the fair use rationale on File:Slinky ad 1946.jpg is valid.  (I'm not trying to be difficult, I know just like all of us that finding valid images for WP is a bitch!)  I'm not sure whether the copyright for an ad like this belongs to the Slinky manufacturer or to Popular Science ... I'm less sure on this one than the prior, will have to look around to see if similar examples are on WP.
