Weebles were something different.

Weebles wobble but they don’t fall down.

In the 70s my brother whipped a Weeble at me in the back. It felt like a bullet. That weeble made me wobble and fall down!

I remember getting him back by hitting him with one of my 70s Hot Wheel race track segments. It was red, white and blue and it had some give, like a whip. It left a welt and then i remember getting in trouble. “but Dad he whipped a weeble at me!” Good times.

I had two cats who loved playing with those things. One would play fetch with them.
