More interesting than expected, i think noddy is actually a bobblehead doll. The story is kinda racist and there are golliwogs so... yeah there's that. On the other hand there are pictures of a golliwog holding hands with a little white doll so maybe it was quite progressive for the times, or i'm just reading too much into it ;) .
All those years and I have not realised that Noddy was an intruder. Big-Ears is not happy. 'Big-Ears the brownie was hurrying through the woods on his little red bicycle, when he suddenly bumped into somebody'. Big Ears had not seen this person before. The Old Man Carver had made the wooden thing out of wood and his nodding movement. Furthermore, the Old Man Carver had been made lots more in wood: the future Noddy's wooden feet...legs....neck and round wooden hea'. Was this a precursor of the Woodentops? Soon the wooden thing became a great character. He got himself into proper clothing and entered Toyland with Big Ears etc,.
