Toy Review: Weebleville Town Center

By Marcos -
The Weebleville Town Center is recommended for 18 months and up, but like I care. Let me tell you what I really think about this toy: roll over dang it! How annoying is this? Frustrates me to no end - the mind games these toys play. Sure, Weebleville is an amazing place, with excitement and joy around every corner. But it's every inhabitant makes me want to shoot myself. Then the music starts and I can't stop myself from dancing. Its like some sort of music induced seizure. Its irresistible. So I give this toy one thumb up and and one thumb down.

You'll be lucky if your next book sells a few thousand copies.

They are invited into his "Thingamajig" and told to press his "jiggamawizzer".  Threatened to have two  hairy creatures named "Thing" force them into compliance, they proceed to do whatever the cat wants.  Next meet the Cat. Voiced by Martin Short, the show's theme song sums him up.  Obviously, the whole premise of the show as described above, is frightening enough.  As if to accentuate this, there are actually parts in th
