Weebles

Weebles are a toy that were popular in the 1970s and 1980s. They are characterized by their rounded bottom and weighted base, which allows them to wobble but always return to an upright position. This self-righting feature is the primary appeal of the toy, making them difficult to knock over. The original Weebles were manufactured by Hasbro in the United States and by Tri-ang Toys in the United Kingdom.

The toys typically came in various character designs, often resembling people or animals. They were sold individually and in playsets. Their simple yet engaging design made them a hit with young children, encouraging imaginative play and providing a sense of amusement. The slogan "Weebles wobble but they don't fall down" was widely used in advertising and became synonymous with the toy.

Over time, variations and spin-off products were introduced, including larger Weebles, vehicles, and themed playsets. While their peak popularity was in the late 20th century, Weebles have seen occasional revivals and remain a nostalgic toy for many who grew up with them. The concept of a self-righting toy has also influenced other toy designs.
