Weebles Wobble, But They Don't Fall Down!!!

I got this great 25 cent purchase today at an estate sale, MOC Sesame Street Bert & Ernie Weebles:

[Wee67]

Awesome! Combining two of my favorite childhood things.

[palitoy]

Neat, I didn't even know they did these, I was a Fisher Price kid and my parents were really loyal.

I love that Bert is angry.

Nice find!

[starsky]

that's awesome and you cant beat the price!!

[HardyGirl]

Super cool! I was a little old for Weebles when they came out, but I always loved the commercials, and even found a Weebles track meet set at a local thrift store for my pre-schoolers almost 20 years ago. Awesome find for a nice price!

I love that Bert is angry.

Is Bert flipping the bird!!!

[The Toyroom]

Is Bert flipping the bird!!!

Nope...Ernie and Bert only have four fingers...hence, no "middle" finger.

I want those Weebles! They're too cool!

I have to admit that I never owned a single Weeble in my life. I have no idea why my parents denied me these toys. Or maybe I was slightly too old? When did Weebles first come out? I definitely remember playing with them at other kids' houses, but maybe it was something that a friend's younger brother or sister had.

I just googles it, they have been around since 1971. I didn't know this, I thought they were after my time as well, I was born in 68.

[cjefferys]

1971? That's older than I was guessing too. I was born at the end of '67, so I guess they weren't really before my time then. I wonder why I never got any of these. My parents didn't love me enough, perhaps?

Whoa, that's a sweet deal, nice pickup

I was both a Weebles and Fisher Price kid. The Weebles Haunted House is one of my favorite toys of all time!

I think I had Sesame Street Weebles as well but don't recall for certain.

Many folks will probably think this is akin to blasphemy, but last year I made a necklace and earrings set out of race track Weebles. Weebles number 1 & 2 became earrings and Weeble number 4 became a great necklace. In my defense, I used slightly cracked Weebles that came from my cousin's stash of childhood toys. I have never had so many comments about a piece of jewelry until I wore Weebles.
