Weebles is a trademark for several lines of children's roly-poly toys originating in Hasbro's Playskool division on July 23, 1971. Tipping an egg-shaped Weeble causes a weight located at the bottom-center to be lifted off the ground. Once released, gravitational force brings the Weeble back into an upright position. Weebles have been designed to have a variety of shapes, including some designed to look like people and animals, among others.
The popular catchphrase, "Weebles wobble, but they don't fall down", was used in advertising during their rise in popularity in the 1970s and during the relaunch in the 2000s. It also appeared in the 2010s relaunch.
The Weebles 1971-2011 Price Guide and Index Book lists and shows every Weeble model made over the past 40 years. There are 21 peelable / 83 regular / 12 tumbling = 116 Weebles in total including all egg shaped sizes and variations made during 1971-1983. In 2010 Hasbro started making a new line of larger egg-shaped Weebles and had produced 42 new Weebles as of July 2011.
Hey there Mr. Kipling
Exceedingly good cakes?
You're a dealer in death
Your cost image is a fake
MR. KIPLING - DEATH DEALER!
MR. KIPLING - LIFE STEALER!
We ask you this question
How many creatures must die
To provide the animal fat
For your apple pie?
In the slaughterhouse
The cattle scream and bleed
Animals condemneded to death
By the corporate greed
That fuels war and exploitation
And steals the earth from all of us
But now your rotting facade is crumbling
