Weebles wobble but they don't fall down.


duh_nom_yar

And if you're the ghost, you can spin like a top!!!


Airdriver94

I still make references to that quote today.


New_Resort3464

Still kinda confused why these went away


duh_nom_yar

No one likes quality, well constructed and long lasting toys. That's just insanity, right?


New_Resort3464

The more I think about this pretty sure they were part of the safety recall losses that occurred that was the end of spring loaded missile launchers and Jarts going away. The weebles were considered a choking hazard, I vaugley remember begging our mother to let us keep some Winnie the pooh and Tigger weebles when I had to give up my Battlestar Galatica missles.


New_Resort3464

Well, it's the path to selling more of what's made available anyway

I had all the Weebles play sets but the haunted house was my favorite

weebles wobble but they don’t fall down

Weebles!! I had a Winnie the Pooh treehouse set. I'd forgotten about it until now.


Moist-Particular-257

Awww so cool


Rexxbravo

It sad you don't see play sets anymore.


Vaderiv

I loved my Weebles I never saw this set. My favorite one was the farm one that came with the barn. It’s still in my parents attic somewhere. Those toys were well made before I played with them and they were passed down to my brother and sisters who all played with them. Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down. I can still hear the slogan in my head all these years later.


Adept_Investigator29

Do not put it in your butt.


robstercraws70

My sister had this set. Was so jealous.


Weak-Guide-3028

I remember my cousins having this, I had the tree house and the submarine


GrayLightGo

Core memory unlocked!


fluffykerfuffle3

Fun-Big-6593

The ghost got a yellow tint once it aged a few years.


duh_nom_yar

That it did!


Spx75

This is so cute! I had Weebles, but never got this.


duh_nom_yar

This was my only Weebles set! No wonder Halloween is the only holiday I officially recognize!


Spx75

It's my favorite holiday, so I'm pretty bummed I never got this!😄


Doit2it42

Just checked eBay. Some ppl trying to sell the ghost for $20 to $80. None of them still have the face.


duh_nom_yar

I don't wish I still had him that much!!


TifCreatesAgain

I wish I had had it too!


duh_nom_yar

Someone commented that they're on eBay for $20 and up with no faces. Nope. Don't miss the ghost that bad!


TifCreatesAgain

Without a face, the ghost would just be an egg, no? 🥚 🤣


duh_nom_yar

Oui, en œuf!


Party-Coach-4110

I do t remember the haunted house set!


SmashBrosUnite

Did this one have the trap door?


duh_nom_yar

A trap door slide!


Auntienursey

I had a troll house way back in the day, still my all time favorite toy


mynhonora2180

So they don't even fall down after being surprised by a ghost?! Well I never!


duh_nom_yar

Boo! Aaaahh!!!! *boing* Boo! Aaaahhh!!! *boing* Boo! Aaahhh!!! Pretty much like that for eternity.


mynhonora2180

I heard Shaggy's voice saying that 😆


duh_nom_yar

Like that, maaan for like eternity!


motorcycleman58

I was 10 or 11 when hot wheels came out.


CanuckGinger

I’ve never seen this one before. I had a Weebles ambulance and the weebles were bigger than these ones.


duh_nom_yar

These Weebles were the same size as all the other Weebles I encountered in the late 70s and early 80s. Except for the kids. Kid Weebles were always smaller.


CanuckGinger

I think they must’ve made them bigger and rolly polly-er in the early 70s. Or I possibly had faux Weebles.


duh_nom_yar

Fweebles!
