Popped up some scans from the Weebles section of the 1975 Hasbro Catalog this evening. Although I never had them (my parents were firmly in the Fisher Price camp), I sincerely envied those who did.

Weebles!

Weebles were the GREATEST! They wobbled, but they didn't fall down. Brilliant!
I had tons of 'em - one thing to remember though, never leave them in a hot location (ie direct sunlight through a window or in a car) - the internal "skins" would shrivel up like an old man in a cold bath.
PS - the word verification - "downth"
Weeblth Wobble buth they donth fall downth!
I had several Weeble sets when I was a kid. My faves were the Gilligan's Island set, where everyone got to sail on the S.S. Minnow and the Haunted House which came with a glow-in-the-dark Ghost Weeble. Good times!
I'm astounded at the nostalgic feeling I'm getting at looking at these. Especially the truck and motorcycle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
