Trivia[]
- The inaccurate slender bodies on the 1997-2006 versions of Sir Handel were the result of being based on various magazine and annual illustrations.
- The first 1997 prototype Sir Handel was used in the 1997 pamphlet. The second 1997 prototype Sir Handel is featured in the 1997 yearbook.
- An early version of Sir Handel can be seen on the back of the box for the A Day at "The Works" Set from 2002-2008. Sticker decals borrowed from a prototype Culdee were used to disguise him as Culdee.
