"Weebles Wobble, But They Don't Fall Down!" Was the tag-line of the famous egg-shaped kids toy, popular during the 70s. A sing-song line, that you'd catch yourself singing each and every time you came across one of the odd little creatures. Originating from Hasbro's Playskool range in 1971. The Weebles Haunted House from 1976, was a 4 room play house that came with a creepy attic, revolving bookcase/haunted mirror, leading to a secret hiding place, a trunk with bats, creaking doors and a chimney chute to drop Weebles into the creepy attic. |
The Haunted House is brilliant, with influences of the Psycho house, the Addams Family, and The Munsters all rolled (or wobbled) into one creepy piece of plastic fun. The play-set came with a witch character a glow-in-the-dark ghost and a Brad & Janet or Hansel & Gretel pair of sappy unsuspecting innocent victims. "Don't go in the creepy looking house you pair of limbless bum-shuffling numb-skulls!!!" | |
