Greg,

I was not able to view the picture you linked to but if the Weebles you are

I remember Weebles from my childhood as being Egg-shaped somewhat rotund

Weebles have no connection to Lego at all and I personally never got the point

havn't seen a Weeble in 20+ years :)

Hello,
while in a chat room, I noticed that someone was laughing at a "weeble" head.
Um, has anyone ever heard of the term "weeble" used in place of "minifig"?
Oh yeah, if you want to see a picture of the "weeble," it is at
