The figure is known informally in the Museum as 'Hector' and this seems to date from Margaret Risbeth's childhood (A.C. Haddon's grandaughter). Margaret remembers hugging his legs as one would a teddy bear, though she says he was not very cuddly.. Stories that her Christmas presents wre left by Hector's feet are unfortunately untrue.
