Tree tots treehouse from #Kenner - 1975 in all it’s glory.

DAY 984

Out of all the toys of my childhood, Weebles are the ones that bring me back to a happy place whenever I see them at yard sales, antique stores or toy conventions.

Or, you know, sitting in a random bowl somewhere.

For instance, the Weebles Tree House.

Just iconic, dude.*

I can't say I owned a shitload of Weebles or anything. I mean, I owned quite a few. That seemed to be enough for me. 

But after Weebles popped in my head today, I did a little research. And I regret that I never owned any of THESE:

Actually that Tub Sub™ looks familiar. Maybe a friend of mine owned that. But I don't think I did.

However, the regrets don't stop there. Somehow I missed out on THIS beautiful shit, too:

Goddamn. A fucking Weebles Haunted House. This set even included a glow-in-the-dark Weeble Ghost.

And sometimes you got an ultra rare Weeble Invisible Man (right).

I guess my regret doesn't revolve around never owning them. The larger regret is that I never had the chance to sell them on eBay.

That's 95 smackers for the Ghost & Invisible Man alone.

$50 for just the Haunted House without figures.

And a whopping $200 for the whole schmear. 

So, yeah. Quite the regret hanging out there. Though who am I kidding? If I had owned this shit, I would've been like one of those Beanie Baby freaks, who's found dead after 10 days, crushed under the weight of thousands of 9/11 Memorial Bears.

So maybe it's for the best.

Bears for the fallen.

* If you're thinking that THIS is actually the Weebles Tree House,

you're dead wrong. That was TreeTots, which was iconic in its own right.

But it was made by Kenner, not Romper Room. Nice try though. I hope you'll never make this mistake again, you worthless piece of shit.

Sorry. Didn't mean to take it out on you. I must've wanted that Weeble Haunted House more than I originally thought.

I'm just full of white-hot panda rage right now, I guess.
