Winnie the Weeble

While working on the Little People list, I came across this piece and really had no idea it existed. I never had weebles as a kid but as a Winnie the Pooh fan, this would have been welcome.

It's basically a 'branding' of the regular Weeble Wobble Tree House. I had the regular version as a kid and it looked pretty much exactly like this only without the 'Winnie the Pooh' sign on top and the little 'hidey-hole' in the middle of the tree held something other than honey. I can't remember what it held in the regular verion… it's been a long time. The tree house is the only Weeble Wobble play set I remember having as a kid but one of my friends down the street had the Haunted House and I was terribly jealous.

I am the child model you see in the picture. This was for a 1970’s Sears catalog. I remember walking into the room at the photography studios and seeing hundreds of toys all over the place and asking my mom are these all for me she replied yes they are if you just act good, they’ll give them to you at the end of the photo shoot. they did not give me any toys to take home. I also remember my arms being too short to reach the hand crank for the elevator. The photographer became very frustrated and said Just put your hand on top. That’s why you have the arrows near the hand crank to show motion.
