bullet::::- makka pakka (played by justyn towler) is a beige, small, round-bodied doll. he has three rounded protuberances on his head, ears and back to represent stones that he uses to make into piles. he lives in a cave and likes cleaning his collection of stones, and sometimes the other characters. makka pakka often stacks freshly cleaned stones into piles resembling his head and body. he sleeps on a stone bed, often cuddling a stone. he travels around the garden riding his trolley, the og-pog, which carries his sponge, soap, orange trumpet, and a bellows-like apparatus called uff-uff which he uses to dry items after cleaning them. his house is approached by a stone-walled ditch, as his home is half buried in the ground. he says his own name and the phrase "mikka makka moo" when he is happy, as well as the names of the og-pog and the uff-uff, and other phrases from his song such as "agga pang" (his soap and sponge), "hum dum" (his trumpet), and "ing ang oo". like upsy daisy and the tombliboos, he also uses a phrase meaning "goodbye", represented in publications as "pip pip onk onk". he, along with iggle piggle and upsy daisy were first featured in the episode "makka pakka washes faces". as makka pakka is smaller than the other characters, he is filmed on another identical set (or garden), and where he appears with other characters, two scenes are shot in parallel and he is filmed far away, whilst the other costumed characters are filmed close up.
