Anyone remember Weebles?
Ok, I know I'm older than dirt ... but I remember these guys! 
"Wobbling Weebles make a comeback
Weebles, the toy craze from the 1970s, have been revived just in time for Christmas
The egg-shaped toys with a weighted base were equally famous for their advertising slogan: "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down."
But their popularity finally waned and in 1997 production ceased.
High street chain Marks & Spencer has now given the toy a make-over and is due to relaunch them.
The new Weebles have a wheel on the bottom which allows them to roll along as well as wobble.
Maggi Willis from M&S said: "Weebles have an unusual iconic status and are an absolute classic toy favourite, so it's a real delight that Marks & Spencer has helped save them from wobbling into the shadows of toy land."
Ronnie Dungan, editor of industry publication Toy News, commented: "In an age where svelte, attractive, bejewelled dolly-birds rule the roost, how nice that a bunch of rotund wobble-bottoms with an uncanny sense of balance can stage an exclusive high street comeback."
Four different Weebles, ranging in price from £3 to £20, go on sale through Marks & Spencer's web site today before going into stores in the New Year."

"We give dogs the time we can spare, the space we can spare and the love we can spare. And in return, dogs give us their all. It's the best deal man has ever made" - M. Facklam
"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
