project 365 #17: troll dolls

I just got them off Ebay! My kids think I'm insane! But I like troll dolls and the next step is building a suitably outre habitat for them - I have a plastic reflecting ball in mind; I think they'd do well in a groovy purple sphere. This particular group is pretty cool, too, since it includes baby troll dolls, a subspecies I was previously unaware of. Yay! I am so happy! Troll dolls!

I must find that picture of my Troll collection to share it with you. I love the litle bunny one. I have never seen one like that!

Found them! Here they are :)

Those are AWESOME. None of them look like the little troll doll I used to keep on the dash of my car when I was a teenager... he had purple hair and little purple shorts, and we'd drawn a Popeye-style anchor tattoo on his chest with felt tip.

Scary. And yet, so funny! I loved troll dolls when I was a kid--before their most recent spate of popularity. Actually, the boy who took my on my first date (to see "My Girl" of all things!) gave me a Parisian troll doll with bright red hair on that occasion. Fortunately, I no longer have proof of it.

Yeah, I think the original troll dolls, the ones WE (and by we, I mean lee & me, since I know how old we are ;-) ) had, were much cooler than the 80s ones like these. However, the old ones go for big bucks, but the newer ones are cheap, which totally makes them better, since no matter how much I like them, I am not, no not, going to pay big bucks. These cost about $1.50 each and that's probably my upper limit on troll doll pricing. The pathetic thing is that as soon as I got these guys I was all like, MORE! I MUST HAVE MORE! SIX IS NOT ENOUGH! and I think I might be hovering on the edge of a bad addiction here. I want some in my car and some at the office and I just made this picture into my work desktop.

Uh oh, beware those collecting manias where ebay is concerned... I have a bunch of those little boxes that show an animated stick man in 'em that I bought off ebay while tipsy one weekend, and now I have no idea what to do with them. They're not even useful as art objects. (Also, I didn't know troll dolls had ever been cool again since the 70s... heh!)

I must now sadly confess that, while I had 6 trolls, in the intervening 6 weeks I gave one to a small child and the dog ate 3, leaving me only the two that are sitting in my office. It's a rough world for trolls out there.
