I ordered this bear for my son for his first birthday and ended up keeping it but ordering a different Paddington (My First Paddington Bear). I originally ordered this one because I had a Paddington when I was younger and it resembled it greatly and seemed to be the most original looking. The bear isn't very soft at all and his legs do not bend so he is stuck in the standing position. This one reminds me more of a collectible bear; not really a toy that can be played with by a young child and remain intact. This bear just doesn't seem like a huggable, squishable, durable bear that a little child would carry around. I am still keeping him however, and I think I will give him to my son when he out-grows the other Paddington bear and won't be so rough with toys.

Not the most durable looking little bear, but he's super cute. I purchased the book about Paddington to go with him as a gift for my friend's daughter. A very nice gift combo.

Bought this, and a 12" Curious George, for my new grand-nephew, my neice tell's me that Paddington is definately his favorite!

This "Paddington" was clearly not the bear he used to be. My sons (now aged 42 & 38) loved their bear for several years until he fell apart at the seams. This one is rather stiff and not very soft. I bought him for my granddaughter to hold while I read her the book, but I don't think he will be well received. Sad how things change.

Purchased Paddington Bear and the book "Paddington" for my littlest nephew. His dad is from the UK, so this is a classic! Paddy's really cute and I love his rain gear!!!!!

Bad survey questions. The toy is fine. It is sturdy, cute, accurate to the cartoon/original. Paddington is difficult to find so I was happy that this one was available. Thank you. Cathy

Ha ha. Good old Paddington. This is apparently how Paddington is supposed to look like.

I remember him differently: with a big black hat, no boots and a brown suitcase. In other words, I watched the BBC series "Paddington" as a kid. I didn't like it. I'm not sure why not. I think Paddington was too grumpy and completely obsessed with marmalade. I probably didn't like marmalade as a kid. Also, he sounded silly when he talked! Finally, the series was very strangely animated.

Years ago, one could still purchase the BBC version of Paddington. It seems he is no longer available, so if you are a Paddington fan, you will have to buy this more colourful version instead. But then, it does seem to be the original.

And remember: this is supposed to be a bear from...Darkest Peru.
