Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)We received this as a gift for our 19-month-old toddler, and while we have in the past, loved other Weebles toys (especially the Weebalot Castle), this one was a big disappointment.
First off, they've changed the Weebles' design (yet again), and they are much heavier than before. And because they're now egg-shaped and totally smooth, they're difficult to keep a good grip on. My toddler has already dropped one on her feet twice now, and it hurt. I appreciate that Hasbro was hearkening back to the original/classic design, but surely they could've made them big enough to not pose a choking hazard, without them being so much heavier than the more recent Weebles.
Secondly, because they're so heavy, the Weebles don't spin properly in the toy. You're supposed to press down on the squirrel and when released, it will spin the "carousel" around. Only because the Weebles are so heavy, it doesn't spin. You have to push the seats around to get them to spin, which defeats the purpose of having the squirrel push part altogether. If you take the new Weebles out, it spins. If you use the older, lighter Weebles, it will spin. But as it's designed with the new Weebles, it simply doesn't work.
Lastly, while the Weebles themselves are very durable (painfully so), the carousel portion is very cheaply made. The plastic is not nearly as durable as the older Weebles sets.
So while we appreciated the kindness behind the gift, and we love getting toys that encourage physical interaction, I hate to say it, but this toy is junk. I don't know why Hasbro messed with a perfectly good design. I wish they'd bring back the Weebles from the Weebalot Castle type designs. Those were a lot more fun, and durable. (Our castle has lasted 4+ years with LOTS of use, and is still in great shape.)
Don't waste your money on this toy. Find a used older Weebles set instead. Your kids will thank you for it.

Weeee! Your child is in for a â??whirlâ? of fun with this WOBBLE-GO-â?TMROUND set. Set the two happy-faced WEEBLES figures in two of the four seats and encourage your child to press down on the â??squirrelâ? at the top of carousel. As he does, the seats will spin around, treating the WEEBLES figures to a spinning ride and your child to a giggling good time! Add two more WEEBLES figures to the collection (sold separately) to fill all of the baskets and double the twirling fun. Set comes with two WEEBLES figures.
