I have some small give-a-ways from the 80's  that I believe had a specific name to them at the time.  the only name I could find on Google was Fuzzball and that doesn't ring a bell.  They are smaller than a quarter yarn balls with eyes and feet glued to them.  The ones I have also have PG&E hard hats but I seem to remember their being rather popular for a while.  Can anyone tell me what they were called?

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

Interesting site! 

Welcome, Moosie.  We had a thread a while back about these.  Here it is:

We got those for selling magazines in middle school for a fundraiser.  I guess that was back in the days that your parents would actually let you roam the neighborhood unattended and try to harass your neighbors into buying stuff from you.

Thanks for the replies and for the link.  Someone on the link thought they were called Weebles and that's the name that I remembered too but I know weebles are a don't-fall-down kind of toy.  maybe these things came first or were spelled differently.  I was just wondering how to list them on eBay.  Oh well, I'm a procrastinator so I'll probably never do it anyway!  LOL!  ;D

Thanks again for your help!

Weebles is close... They're actually called Weepuls. Check out the Wikipedia entry.


Weepuls (or Wuppies, as they're called over here) are still popular in my country.
