Main characters

 * Noddy is the protagonist of the series. He is a wooden boy who lives in Toyland. Although he is characterized as a child, with a child's imagination and fears, in Toyland he also serves as the main taxi driver. He often finds himself in difficult situations due to his childlike impulsiveness and energy, but his friends always help him set things right and save Toy Town from the Goblins. Voiced by David A. Kaye in the US, re-dubbed by Martin Skews (Cockney with a Cockney accent in the UK).
 * Tessie Bear is Noddy's best friend, always ready to help everyone she sees. She wears a pink and white skirt and a pink bonnet with blue flowers on it. She lives in a pink house in Toy Town with Bumpy Dog, her faithful and rambunctious pet. Voiced by Britt McKillip in the US, re-dubbed by Joanna Ruiz in the UK.
 * Big Ears is a wise old white-bearded brownie who wears a blue coat, green striped pants, a yellow and red plaid neckerchief, gnome shoes, and a long red hat and lives in a toadstool house in the forest called Toadstool Woods. He is a father-figure to Noddy and the other toys, often helping them out of trouble with his years of wisdom and good advice. He speaks Canadian with a Canadian accent. His catchphrase to Noddy is "You funny little Noddy". Voiced by Michael Dobson (Canadian with a Canadian accent in the US), re-dubbed by Pavel Douglas in the UK.
 * Dinah Doll is a toy plastic doll, the Toy Town shopkeeper. Her stall, though small, contains everything a Toyland resident could ever possibly want. From the toy trains and the kite strings to the Googleberry muffins, she greets every request with her favorite promise: "I have that, now I just have to find it!" She's portrayed as a down-to-earth "older sister" figure, kindly guiding the more impulsive toys into doing the right thing. Voiced by Tabitha St. Germain in the US, re-dubbed by Andrea Harris in the UK.
 * Mr Plod is Toyland's sole police officer. Armed with his trusty whistle and his all-purpose problem-solving phrase "HALT! STOP! In the name of Plod!", he brings the law and order to Toyland, keeps Sly and Gobbo out of the way and makes the streets safe for all the toys. Although Mr Plod's no-nonsense ways keep Toyland safe, they sometimes make him seem cold or unfeeling, but the Toyland toys always bring out his compassionate side in the end. He speaks British with a British accent. Voiced by Richard Newman (British with a British accent).
 * Bumpy Dog is Tessie Bear's dog, whose bumping and jumping cause trouble for all the toys. Even though some of the toys complain about his leaping, in several stories Bumpy's energy can save the day. Vocal Effects by Lee Tockar.
 * Sly and Gobbo 2 crafty gobins, the series's antagonists, who are always hatching evil plots and causing trouble for the residents of Toyland. Voiced by Doug Parker and Don Brown in the US, re-dubbed by Ben Small (Cockney with a Cockney accents in the UK).

Recurring characters

 * Mr. Sparks is Toyland's mechanic, fix-it man and jack-of-all-trades. Faced with a clock without a spring, a rocket without an engine, or a problem without a solution, he brings out his tools and his famous catchphrase "Dùbhlan?...Is toil leam e!". He speaks Scottish with a Scottish accent and is always shown as an ingenious and helpful friend. Voiced by Lee Tockar (Scottish with a Scottish accent).
 * Miss Pink Cat owns Toy Town's ice cream shop. She is portrayed as very fussy and neat and lovely and pretty and speaks French with a French accent and no patience for foolishness, even her own. Voiced by Teryl Rothery (French with a French accent).
 * Master Tubby Bear is a stuffed teddy bear, is one of the more mischievous residents of Toyland. He wears a tie, a colorful cap, and blue jeans. He was impatient, greedy and thoughtless, until one of the older, wiser Toy Town toys showed him the error of his ways. He's good friends with Martha Monkey. Voiced by Manny Petruzzelli in the US, re-dubbed by Carrie Mullan in the UK.
 * Martha Monkey is a stuffed monkey whose personality makes her a bit of an outcast in Toyland. She seems to want to be everyone's friend, but her boisterous behavior and prankster ways often get in the way. Like Master Tubby Bear, her best friend, she'll quickly see the light when her bad behavior is corrected by a caring friend. Voiced by Kathleen Barr in the US, re-dubbed by Joanna Ruiz in the UK.
 * Mr. Jumbo is a friendly stuffed elephant. He uses his size to help smaller toys, like his best friend Clockwork Mouse. Voiced by Ian James Corlett in the US, re-dubbed by Ben Small in the UK.
 * Clockwork Mouse is a wind-up toy mouse, Mr. Jumbo's best friend. Voiced by Kathleen Barr in the US, re-dubbed by Carrie Mullan in the UK.
 * Mr. Wobblyman: A roly-poly toy that wobbles and tips wherever he goes because he has a ball for his body. He's very self-conscious about his clumsiness, especially when his wobbling attracts teasing. He speaks English with an English accent. Voiced by Ian James Corlett (English with an English accent).
 * The Skittles are a family of bowling-pin-like toys who love nothing more than to be knocked over - whether by each other, a Bouncing Ball, or Bumpy Dog. Mrs. Skittle can often be seen in Toy Town, trying to keep them all in sight. Voiced by Teryl Rothery and Chantal Strand in the US, re-dubbed by Joanna Ruiz, Carrie Mullan and Ben Small in the UK.
 * Harvey and Cecilia are 2 beetles who are often overlooked because of their small size and can normally be seen trying to cross the road. They talk in most episodes, but not on the other ones. They belong to less-nosser beetles. Voiced by Ian James Corlett and Kathleen Barr.
 * Tiny Ball is one of a large family of Bouncing Balls whose energetic bounces really make a big impression whenever they come to Toy Town. Tiny, though the smallest of all the Ball family, is also known to all the toys as the best bouncer in Toyland. Voiced by Sage Testini.
 * Noddy's car is the Toy Town taxi. It listens to Noddy, and answers with a "honk! honk!". although "Car" (as Noddy calls him) generally needs a driver, at times he can move on his own, especially when Noddy needs help.

Critical reception
Despite being a hit with young audiences, the series has been heavily criticised by fans of Noddy's Toyland Adventures for its derivatives from that series, as well as its unlikeable characterisation and poor writing.

It has a 4.1/10 rating on IMDB.

North America reports the shoe being a Broadcasting Flop.
