WEEBLES HAUNTED HOUSE (LA MAISON HANTÉE DES WEEBLES)

The Weebles Haunted House. "Where Weebles wobble... and go bump in the night!" A most unexpected and harrowing twist on the classic Weeble slogan, though perfectly befitting to this crucial playset— a set that challenges our very notion of Weebles. You're just in time for a tour of this mysterious abode. Kindly step this way. There's no turning back now.

The Box...
How I miss the toy packaging of the 70s and early 80s where shiny-haired kids wore sweaters and turtlenecks and played cheerfully in a monochromatic void. I honestly think the children on the Weebles box are wearing wigs.

The Cast of Weebles...
The Witch. Her inverted bat insignia openly mocks all manner of flying mammals and caped crusaders alike. She has this pointy hat that she sort of places downwise on the top of the, um.. the hat kind of rests on the crown of her... Aw, geez, how can I put this. Oh, I know...


The Ghost. Highly Casper-esque

The scared kids. They wear overalls.

The exterior...
They did a fine job echoing the weeblistic shape.

The Interior...The glory is almost too much to bear.

The First Floor...
The front door creeks and the ghost makes an appearance in the mirror. That's the extent of the points of interest in this room. There is nothing unusual about the bookshelf.

Fooled you! I failed to mention a little thing called "THE SECRET OF THE LIBRARY!" To quote the box... "A secret hiding place for Weebles, plus a mysterious mirror that makes the Weebles look funny (hee hee)."

Meanwhile in the parlor, the witch admires an artwork that harkens back to a simpler time when her craft was practiced among friends under a moonlit sky— a time when owning her own dilapidated Folk Victorian seemed impossible.

The Second Floor...

It's 2:05 AM and scared boy attempts to sleep in a candlelit bedroom under the portrait of what we will assume is a horrible, horrible old man.

The sitting room seems normal. But what if I told you that the fireplace is a secret passage! It wouldn't seem so normal anymore, that's what.

The Attic...

After the ghost does his nightly evil, the secret fireplace passage grants him easy access to his attic hideaway. Additionally, a second passageway up through the cupola permits terrorizing in surrounding neighborhoods.

Across the way, two bats guard an extremely dusty treasure chest.
