Troll Dolls Wishniks Norfins
Good luck collectible Russ Troll Dolls, Wishniks, Norfins. All new troll dolls from our toy "vault".
The typical height of the large troll dolls are 8" and 4.5" for the smaller troll dolls.
The first troll dolls were created by a Danish fisherman named Thomas Dam in 1959. The original “Dam dolls” had sheep hair and glass eyes. These dolls became very popular in Europe in the early 1960’s. Due to a flaw in the copyright, other companies were able to design and market a "knockoff". In the United States, Russ Berrie became a major player in the troll dolls business.
Many products in the toy industry have a 10 year “dormancy period”. Hence in 1983, when we opened our first full line toy store, Russ Berrie trolls were "new again" and became extremely popular.
Russ Troll dolls have a distinctly different look from the Dam Dolls. Dam dolls had many different face molds, whereas Russ Troll dolls used all the same molds for a given size troll doll.
Russ went much further to make troll dolls collectible by adding more outfits and other props like the troll dolls with a tennis racket, troll dolls with a bowling ball, etc.
Most importantly, Russ was able to meet consumer demand in the U.S. for a most collectible toy. In all the years we have been in business, the troll doll collectible craze rivaled Cabbage Patch Dolls and was only surpassed by Beanie Babies. We now offer you the troll dolls from the 1980’s preserved in all their glory. By the way...we have many more here at the store.
