weebles wobble but they won't fall down!

old weebles


new weebles. which do you prefer?

so i was noticing the other day while perusing the toy isle at walmart that a lot of today's toys aren't really new. they're recycled. is our society today really unable to come up with something new and original? can we think of nothing but to recycle and reuse the old toys with a small makeover? some of the things i've seen lately are:
rainbow brite and the sprites (some of my favorties when i was 5)
stawberry shortcake
popples
clue
candyland
cabbage patch dolls
pound puppies
and i just saw a commercial for weebles (weebles wobble but they don't fall down)
jeff says that it's just my perception on it all and that they do make new toys, i just don't see them because i only notice the old ones. but that's what we all do, right? we see what we want to see and we notice the things that are nearest to our hearts. the 80s touch my heart.
