Anyone remember Weebles?

Ok, I know I'm older than dirt ... but I remember these guys! :D


"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."
