TROLL DOLLS

Image Hosted by ImageShack.us
Created by Thomas Dam, the inventor of the Dammit doll, names after Thomas. The dolls were established into a company called Dam Things in 1964. A year which more than one million of these trolls were sold in the United States. The doll was made for his daughter, cause he couldn't afford to buy her a birthday present. The doll was inspired by the legend of trolls whom inhabited deep dark forests and brought good luck to the human that could catch one. It would seem many humans at that time were catching them.
I use to have a collection of various troll dolls,when I was growing up.
Did you own any troll dolls?

I still own the first one I ever had. Her picture is on my Profile page. I stuck her in a big rose. ;)
Where I had one or two, my daughter has a collection of them, including the two tinies in the same picture. She owns some that look like just about every one in your picture here, as well as some really big ones that still sit on a shelf in her room!
The new ones for sale cost about $5.00! I don't think my folks paid nearly that much for mine!!

Your welcome Pat.
Mowida,they must have been less than a dollar or our parents couldn't afford to buy them.
Its great to share things from our past ,with our children or grandchildren.

Was it a "buddah" doll that you were supposed to rub the tummy for good luck? I remembver I had one bald one for that (good luck) and the rest had various colors of long frizzy hair.

you've done it again cheechee........i had quite a collection of troll dolls, large and small, different color hair and i do remember rubbing the tummies for good luck.

i also had a collection - wish i still had them but when my parents downsized from the house i grew up in to a condo, cleared out the basement and yadayadayada.......poof.........gone. disneykins; they were tiny, tiny painted plastic figurines of the disney characters from movies and cartoons. i had the complete collection at the time in the sixties. they were so cute. wish i had them for my grandbabies. i'd probably play with them more than the boys!
