Evel Knievel: Playing Mantis vs Poof-Slinky. Which is better?

[Delusional B]

Are the poof-slinky ones still available? If so where can I order some? Evil was one my favs as a kid.

Here's a link to both sets. I don't know anything about the company selling these but it looks like they have both sets in stock.

Evel Knievel Stunt Sets

The Super Stunt Cycle set is the chrome cycle set (the cheaper set on the right). Don't let the package photo fool you. It's tripped up many people looking for the chrome Stunt Cycle set. They used a poor mock-up of the package design and used a photo of the bike from the Daredevil set in the box. Most people selling these don't know the difference. It DOES include the chrome cycle and not the black one.

I got my Evel and Robbie stunt set today. It's pretty sweet. Lots of stuff is included in the set. The only problem is it came with the instructions for a different set. In the little pack Evel's swagger stick was sealed in is this little black rubber clip and I have no idea what it's for. Anybody know what it's for?

I think it's so Evel can hold it, but I was confused too. And about the other instructions, all the Poof/Slinky sets came w/ the Daredevil instruction sets from some stupid reason.

Thanks again for the info. Glad to hear it's not just mine with the wrong instructions.

Thanks for that link.

Fun review to read - great job. Even if the Evel doesn't work as great as the old school toys (or as great as we remember) still a fun toy to have on display. Brings back such great childhood memories.
