    The Undead Wobble but Refuse to Fall Down

    One of the reasons I think Weebles remained popular for so long was their choice of subject matter. I mean, Weebles had horror and Superheroes, things Fisher Price never touched and pretty much all I think about during the day, save for sandwiches and well, you know...

    I loved the weeble haunted house. I know I went through two of them and ended up using the star wars/adventure people to "investigate" this spooky house. I still think I have the weebles that came with this (somewhere)

    They don't mak'em like this anymore

    I wish it still was $11.99

      Hmmmm....

      I have weird memories of this set; mostly 'cos I got one during one of my many periods of illness. The house was durned near indestructable and got a LOT of use over the years.

      >ended up using the star wars/adventure people to "investigate" this spooky house

      Yeah! Like that!

      I also remember the witch's hat wouldn't stay on for nuthin'.

            I loved this set. I remember when Castle Grayskull came out years later I thought, "oh... yeah this is cool... but why didn't they make it more like the weeble mansion? That would have been *sweet!!" (insert historically accurate phrase here).

            I would spend hours dropping the ghost down the secret slide. I think that says a little too much about me.

              I loved the fact it made a "creaking" sound when you opened it up. That spinning bookcase is also another great feature. What's also great about this is this as close to a Scooby-Doo Weeble set as one can get if you think about it.

                Weebles? Never heard of those, but that haunted house looks cool

                    This is one of my all-time favorite childhood toys. Still love it, and I have yet to get one for my collection, grr. I like this thing so much, I have a picture of it as my computer desktop background right now!

                        I never had one as a child. But, I did get to play with the house set one time when I was little. A great, FUN toy.

                        My wife DID have this as a child. When we first got married she mentioned it. How much she really loved this toy. Her mother had given it away when she the my wife was to old to play with it anymore. So, ebay comes along and I started scoping one out for her. I had to buy 2 houses and a couple loose figures, but today my wife as a complete Weebles Haunted House with figures/parts AND the box too. I gave it to her one year for Christmas. She did break down and cry.

                          That's such a sweet story. It does look like a lot of fun.
