Weebles - Sears Wish Book - 1981

 

    Finally! We get to get old school up in here! Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. That's actually a pretty profound statement when you realize that, even if they disappear for a while, Weebles always find their way back to the toy aisle. They're a timeless toy. My grandparents didn't have a lot of toys for us to play with when we went to their house, but they had Weebles and that Weeble house you see above. We loved getting that thing out. We spent many happy minutes playing with that thing. What can I say, we had attention span issues. You can also see what cool Weebles look like. Today's Weebles look more like obese people, whereas older Weebles looked more like capsules. Now that I think about it, every Weeble kind of looked like the boy in the bubble. That may have something to do with why they changed it. Whatever. I may be biased (say it isn't so!) but I prefer the Weebles of my youth. Wow, I have never typed the word "Weeble" so much in my life.
