Playskool Weebles Treehouse Playset Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'll begin by saying this is really a well-built toy. It's sturdy in all areas and has a nice "weight" to it that lets you know it'll stand up to a kid playing with it. The Weebles themselves are spot on for durability (in fact, they might be a bit TOO durable if your kid tosses one a bit too hard). The design of the toy itself it pretty clever, with a little crank "staircase" that takes the Weebles to the top, where they then slide down and activate some random music or sound effects. Aside from the stairs and slide, there's a semi-wobbly treehouse "floor" they can play in and a door with a little room inside the tree trunk (not displayed in the picture).
That being said, the relative lack of choices for what to do detracts somewhat. You basically can do the stairs and slide, or set the weebles in the treehouse/tree trunk and... that's it. This is a toy which requires a lot of imagination (never a bad thing), and as such, it might be hit-or-miss for children who either aren't at the pretend stage yet or who want more interactivity. Our son loves to crank the staircase, but after about 5-10 minutes of that, he's run out of things he can really do with it. He can take the Weebles themselves to another toy, but the treehouse itself gets left behind. There's not really any way to build or expand on the playset. The Treehouse area and the room inside the tree trunk are small and somewhat inaccessible (if the Weebles gets put too far back in the room, it can be hard to get out, even with little hands). Compared to his Duplo blocks, which cost half as much, the time he spends with the treehouse is 1/10 of the time with the blocks.
The bottom line is that this thing is all about the slide and the Weebles, with the tree itself being an afterthought. If you want to pay the price for a crank staircase that carries two Weebles up to a slide that plays music, go for it, but don't expact the other aspects of the playset to be enticing for very long for younger kids. Perhaps when they're 3-4 and have other playsets, this can become part of a larger world. But as a standalone, it's a bit overpriced. The "Playskool Weebles Treehouse Value Pack" is a MUCH better purchase in my opinion. It's basically the same thing with more weebles (so I have no idea why this toy costs more).

Playskool Wheel Pals Polar Party Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The mere thought of a penguin on wheels had me excited! However, even at a greatly discounted price, I was disappointed with this toy. The age range is 18 months and older. I have it to a 19 month old as a gift. I was HUGELY disappointed. It does nothing. Sure, the animals go down the ramp - sometimes. That is about it. I'd rather use a single piece of Matchbox track and create my ramp. At least then, nothing could fall apart during use.
The only reason I gave the toy two stars was for the two animals. They are cute, well contructed and if used on their own, they are great! As for the playset itself, it does not serve the purpose for which it was made. I am glad I didn't buy the other sets to go with it.

Playskool Weebles Playset Review

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.
