Nodders are figures in which the head and hands move up and down at a slight movement. The moving body parts of Nodders are attached to wires. These figures were chiefly made during the 18th to 21st centuries. Papier-mache or plastic is used to make the recent type of Nodders. They were used as prizes in games and fairs. Also called pagods, Nodders come in the forms of figurines and comic characters.
