How to Make a Weebles-Stuff Homepage

With the popular catchphrase 'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down,' Hasbro's Playskool division successfully introduced a line of roly-poly toys in 1971. Shaped like eggs with weights at the bottom, the toys offered a spring back motion. The toys have since become a favorite of collectors. Creating a Weebles stuff homepage should serve as a center of information regarding Weebles products, such as accessories, buildings, furniture and vehicles.

Instructions

- 1
  Write a brief history page. Trace the history of Weebles products and include information on the initial launch and relaunch of Weebles stuff in 2004. The first Weebles appeared in toy shops during the early 1970s to coincide with the Punching Clown of the Romper Room TV series. Point out differences between the first version of Weebles and the latest collections, which greatly differ from the original egg-like shape. Enhance your Weebles homepage by adding examples of advertisements highlighting the popular catchphrase.

  List Weebles stuff in chronological order with images. Illustrate the evolution of Weebles stuff on your homepage with images of various characters, playsets, accessories and themes. For instance, a peelable film easily prone to damage served as the initial artwork for the 1973 Weebles Family eggs. The generation of Weebles to follow used a nearly indestructible clear plastic shell to protect future artwork.

  Highlight themed sets. Weebles sets often displayed themes, including the Sesame Street Playground with Cookie Monster and Big Bird Weebles, and the Treasure Island set--complete with pirate Weebles, ship and tree house. Holiday sets make popular Weebles collectibles, offering a bunny rabbit and chick to represent Easter, and Santa and Rudolph duo for Christmas. Disney-themed Weebles were also produced and included characters, such as Goofy, Tigger and Mickey Mouse.

  Include a link to Weebles directions. Provide helpful information on your Weebles stuff homepage, such as directions for accessories and sets. For example, assembly directions are needed for the Weebles Busy Playhouse Ride-On, which doubles as a buggy-like toy with wheels that transports and provides a playhouse for Weebles. Include details on how to play and change the batteries for products, such as the Weebles Wescue Wagon.

  Research websites and stores that offer collectibles. The average visitor to a Weebles stuff homepage is looking to add to their collection and is interested in price lists and product information. Researching and listing toy stores that sell Weebles collectibles makes a homepage more desirable. Provide a real-time record of eBay listings for Weebles stuff on your homepage. Join Yahoo Groups, forums and discussion boards that focus on Weebles or old toys--to get a heads up on new places to purchase collectibles and other Weebles stuff.
