A great improvement over the strange style of the original figures NZ3668 : Figures in the rain
Most of the 22 piece bronze statues had been fitted with seasonal hats, an element of comic tradition often used by local people on their surrounding works of art.

Local people have nicknamed them the 'Weebles', after the popular toy of the 1970s (slogan: 'Weebles wobble but they don't fall down') LinkExternal link
