Weebles:1979

[RSS]

Another fun look at Hasbro's fun offering into the pre school market, their tough to dislike Weebles line.


Hasbro didn't seem to run out of fun environments for these little legless, armless but happy blobs of plastic and 1979 saw all sorts of wonder from treehouses to submarines to the undead driving around in Vans, glorious.

Hey! I found that racing set in a thrift store for $2 in the 80s when I first started teaching pre-school. My kids loved it!

What happens to Weebles when they get blotto drunk? Yeah, they can stumble around with the best of them of them, but do they pass out standing up?

Wasn't there a Weebles superhero?

I remember Weebles. "Weebles Wobble, but they don't fall down".

I am not sure although that would have been neat if they did make those. ???

Yep, he had black hair, red suit, white cape and a white W on his chest. BTW, if any of you guys run across Weebles Tarzan or Cheetah, please let me know! I can't score them to save my life.

" Weebles wobble but they wont fall down." I took that as a personal challange. That and Tonka Toys are indestructable.

They made a Weeble of Cheetah? the chimp? AWESOME! I have a "Apestract "painting of his I bought a few years ago.

They sure did, Dave--but he looks more like Filmation's Nkima.

It was Nikima.
