I had the weeble camper and I LOVED my weebles. Well, when I was about 12 (and no longer played with them), my mom suggested we clean up our old toys and dolls, etc., wrap them as Christmas presents and and donate them to this family she knew were not having presents that year. So, in the spirit of Christmas, we did. It was tough giving up my weebles and to this day, I think about them!! I wonder if those children really did appreciate them as much as my sister and I did!!

I loved my weeble, especially the girl in all pink. My mother gave them to my cousin's and I've never forgiven her. I'm desperately trying to replace them.

I had a Weeble Wobble treehouse that wound up in the back as a child. When we moved, the darn movers (they will be called such since this is a public area) stole my treehouse and other now hard to find items. I still have my Weeble Wobbles and at age 31, I still play with them. I now let my daughter play with them as well. And I am looking for another vintage Weeble Wobble treehouse. Long live the Weeble Wobbles and all of the other great toys of the late 70's early 80's!

I have a distinct memory relating to the weebles in the early 70's that I JUST have to share. This is absolutely true- When I was about 3 I remember waking up to happy sounds of laughter and singing. I walked into my kitchen, and there I saw my weebles dancing around in a circle. This did not scare me, I watched for sometime and went back to bed. The next day my mom found my weebles in the washing machine in the basement. There was no way that I could have put them in there! Of course this all could have been a dream. But my mom remembers finding them there to this day and still doesn't know how they got in there! Long live the weebles!

Oh how I miss my Weeble Wobble. I used to imagine it was my best friend. I would take it with me everywhere and put it everywhere.
The are so slick and so smooth. They are just great. I had an Elvis Weeble once. Very rare. Felt really good.

I remember the greatest gift I ever received as a child was the WEEBLE WOBBLE Airport, I still have a picture of me with the biggest surprise look on my face when I opened it on my 4th Birthday. Toys today talk to you, make musical sounds, roll by themself, and just take too many batteries. But when I look back, the simpliest toys of my era were so much better, you could actually use your own imagination, and make your own sound effects. I just wish I could give my children toys like what I used to receive when I was young.
WEEBLE WOBBLES will always be the top retro toy in my opinion.

My dog just ate one of my Weebles, and I'm really bummed about it. The new Weebles don't even hold a candle to the old ones. They were great, and so durable. Apparently they don't hold up to dogs, though.

I loved my Weeble Wobbles. I also had the tree house. Those were the good years when the toys were awesome. I also had Tinker Toys. I remember the Weebles so well. Nothing can replace the original ones. I will FOREVER be a Weebles fan.

I remember lining up Weebles at the edge of our pool, as a kid. My brother and I would take turns trying to shoot them into the pool with a bb gun. Good times!! - Ken Hard (San Francisco, CA)

Weebles! I loved them! My sisters and I had the Weebles Farm set. It was the coolest thing! Even the horses were Weebles! I loved setting it up, having the fences, the troughs for the horses, the water pump, the barn! Oh, wow! My favourite! I would play it for hours. Who doesn't remember the jingle: Weebles wobble but they won't fall down!

When I was a kid back in the early 70s our family went cruising on a sailboat for vacation. Each day we'd sail to a new harbor. We'd be stuck on board for most of a day without ever going ashore and so us kids (4 of us ages 10-15 or so) would be acting pretty silly around dinner time after we had finally anchored in our new harbor for the night. So one evening when we're all being real goofy my 10 year old brother points at this funny looking little boat about 40 feet away and shrieks "THAT LOOKS LIKE A WEEBLE BOAT!" Well, my other brother and sister and I just lost it with laughter, we were hysterical, it was so funny. So right after that we started calling him Weebles and eventually that sometimes morphs into just "Weebs". Over the years many of his friends and mine also called him Weebles, and to this day many of us still do. "WEEBLES!!!" lol...

My fondest memory was of the Weeble Wobble Tree-house that came out in 1975. My grandparents bought it for me and I was only 3 1/2 years old. I remember opening it up and taking it out of the box and playing with it before Christmas Day 1975. My grandparents allowed me to enjoy it and then wrapped it back up and re-hid it from me. I forgot all about it and didn't even remember that I had played with it before Christmas morning. It was like I had never seen it before. I am excited about buying the new one for my niece this year but I would really love to have an old one in Mint Condition from 1975.

I had the Weeble Wobble treehouse and thought it was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I'm looking for one for my two daughters - if anyone has one or knows where to find one. I love the old ones - they need to bring them all back!

I had the haunted house and my cousin had a race track. You set the webbles at the start line, turn a handle and away they went. The faster you cranked, the faster they went. WHAT FUN!!!

Weebles are among the earliest toys that I can remember playing with as a kid. I would sit on the hardwood floor of my bedroom and play with my little weeble family. That is because I realized they wobbled better on hardwood than carpet. I also had the submarine and diver, which spent countless hours with me in the bathtub. I wished that I had kept mine, but now I am buying them up since I have discovered ebay! That reminds me, I'm going to need a bigger shelf.

Oh my gosh! Weebles are one of the most memorable toys that take me back to that feeling of overwhelming joy as a kid on Christmas day. My sister found weebles like the ones I use to have and sent them to me for Christmas last year. I relived that owesome feeling all over again!

man, i haven't seen these for years. I used to love my Weebles. I would sit in the den floor for hours and hours playing with my weebles. I always had a smile on my face when my weebles were around. That is until my brother threw one at me and busted my nose. Then they all burt in a fire. I cried for days. Now i am 35 and asking my kids to buy me some for Christmas. I remember when I had them they were a happy family and never fought or got devorced.Unlike me. One even worked at McDonalds, he flipped hamburgers.

My sister had weebles. She got one stuck in her mouth. It wasn't serious. She just got scared, tense and started crying. After my mom got her to calm down it popped right out. The song we sing to this day is, "Weebles wabble but they don't fall down, but they sure get stuck in my sissy's mouth!"

I grew up in Mexico, so when I was little and my American cousins would go visit my family, they would bring toys to us. And The Weeble Wobbles were one of those toys...... I had so much fun with them! I would even swim with them….I’m assuming the water eventually ruined them. But the memories they bring to mind are so sweet. I recently started a collecting them…..if any one know where to get them, let me know.

As I child I was rasied on a rural farm and during the winter, especially during heavy snow, we would play board games. My folks got me a set of weebles for Christams one year. I would set up little villages of weebles. I look back now with fond memories of the days playing with my weebles. My dad was a pipe smoker and he'd be sittin g there in his chair smoking a pipe while I played with my Weebles. What memories

I had the webble wobble caste, and is how I acquired 6 stitches in my head. I was trying to do the "Nestea Plunge" (you know what I am talking about, the commercial) on my bed, missed and cracked my head open on the castle. Oh, what fond memories.

I ONLY KNOW WEEBLES AS AN ADULT. I HAD BOUGHT VARIOUS SETS FOR MY DAUGHTERS AS THEY WERE GROWING UP. ONE OF MY DAUGHTERS STILL HAS A FEW OF THE WEEBLES BUT THE REST HAVE GONE BY THE WAYSIDE AS YEARS WENT ON. ONE OF THE SETS WE ALL REMEMBER WELL WAS THE HAUNTED HOUSE! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF BRINGING BACK SOME OF THOSE MEMORIES BY GETTING A COUPLE OF WEEBLE SETS FOR MY GRANDKIDS. I ALSO HAVE FOUND THE WINNIE THE POOH TREEHOUSE FROM 1973 I THINK, AND AM KEEPING HIM AT MY HOUSE FOR THEM TO ALL PLAY WITH. I LOVED AND STILL LOVE THE WEEBLES AS THE CHARACTERS WERE/ARE RECOGNIZABLE BY MY KIDS/ GRANDKIDS AND I DO NOT HAVE TO CONSTANTLY ARRANGE THEIR LEGS OR ARMS TO GET THEM TO SIT UP!!! lol HOPING TO CREATE NEW MEMORIES FOR MY GRANDKIDS AND FOR THEIRS FOR YEARS TO COME!

somebody else mentioned how great weebles are/were as projectiles, and i agree. slingshots mixed with weebles were a fun, yet dangerous activity for me and my friends. we used to play weebles inside as little kids, but as we grew older and braver, we made our way outside with our "weeble weapons". haha it's funny, we used to sit indian style on a slick surface ie: kitchen/basement/gym floor and whip the weebles across the room at someone sitting opposite of you. throw as hard as you can and they WILL end up with a small bruise or two... perhaps i/we misunderstood the directions of how to play with weeble people. great toys like these and others i played with as a kid need to make a comeback. all in favor say aye...

hey all, about 9 years ago my sister got me all messed up on all kinds of drugs. I guess I was stummbleling around the house and she busted out with "he's a weeble!" What can I say but it stuck. Now I've been a United States Marine for almost four years and the name still sticks. I've even got weeble tattooed on my knuckles. What can I say... I love weebles.

Ok, I thought the song on the commercial went "Weeble Wobbles wobble but they don't fall down," rather than "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down," which means that they are wobbles of the weeble variety, rather than weebles.

I have a Yellow Scuba Diving Weeble. I Got it as a gift from an Ex-Girlfriend. She had it in a box full of old toys in her basement. I told her how much I loved them as a child and she let me take it. It now proudly sits on my computer desk. I've used it as a subject in some of my castle models 'cause it's so goofy lookin' and outta place.

Almost one year ago, I was admitted to the hospital for an overdose then was transferred to a Phsychiatric hospital. When I got off the elevater on the psych unit, the nursing station was right there. Sitting at the desk were two very obese women (1 nurse and 1 unit clerk) The first thing I thought of were Weebles as these to people had no necks. Now I liken Weebles to people with mental illness because Weebles wobble but they don't fall down. This may sound wierd to you, but unless you suffer from some type of mental illness, just think about it!(We get wobbly, but we always get right back up.)

My sister had the Haunted house and I just loved it! Too bad the ghost weeble's face would come off after being played with so much! I have since then, amassed a large amount of Weebles and accessories, including the Western set, The Airplane hanger, the Camper, The Pooh Circus, and the Magic Kingdom and MickeyMouse Clubhouse. I will be selling all, unfortunately, to move into a smaller home, so if anyone is interested in aquiring any of these wonderful toys, email me. If I haven't already sold them, I would be happy to help you out.

Hah! I still have the Bert from Sesame Street one pictured above. 'Weebles Wobble But They Don't Fall Down'. I got the complete school bus set when I was a kid...six Weebles kids and the Weeble Bus. Only 5 years ago I came across the exact same set at the Goodwill. I bought the set for about $4...travelled down memory lane for a day or two...then sold it on Ebay for a load of dough. Ahhh, Weebles.

I remember having a ton of weebles, the treehouse, the camper and everything else that came with the camper. I had alot of weebles and I saved all my toys from my childhood. Unfortunatly I don't know if my cousins got into it or what happened but all my toys from my childhood have vanished. I had all the great toys of the 70's including the sunshine family dolls. Now I am wanting to find all of what I lost. If anyone knows where I could find the camper and treehouse I will be forever thankful.

I loved my Weebles. I had the tree house, the ranch house, the suburban house, the castle and the submarine. I would set them all up in my closet and bedroom floor and play with them for hours. I made up all kinds of stories, they really kept my imagination flowing. I kept them until about six years ago when like a fool, I donated them to a charity. I kept some of the weebles, though. The girl in pink with the blonde hair was my favorite. They don't make toys like they used to. :-(
