The Wombles 1998 Argos Catalogue🩷

The Wombles are fictional characters created by British author Elisabeth Beresford. They are pointy-nosed, furry creatures that live in burrows, where they aim to help the environment by collecting and recycling rubbish in creative ways. The Wombles were introduced to the public in a series of children’s books starting with “The Wombles” in 1968.
The characters gained significant popularity in the 1970s when they were adapted into a stop-motion animated television series. The Wombles live in Wimbledon Common, and each character has distinct personality traits. Some of the most well-known Wombles include:
1. Great Uncle Bulgaria - The wise, elderly leader of the Wombles.
2. Tobermory - The inventive and practical handyman.
3. Orinoco - Often lazy and always hungry, but good-hearted.
4. Bungo - Enthusiastic and energetic.
5. Tomsk - Strong and athletic.
The Wombles were also notable for their environmentally friendly ethos, which was ahead of its time. Their activities included upcycling, repairing, and repurposing objects discarded by humans. The Wombles’ message of sustainability and environmentalism resonated with audiences, making them beloved figures in British culture.
The Wombles also ventured into music, with a series of successful novelty songs in the 1970s, produced by Mike Batt. These songs helped to further cement their popularity.
In recent years, there have been attempts to revive the Wombles through new television series and merchandise, continuing their legacy as champions of environmental conservation.
