Quirky Little Creatures
They had wild, spiky hair in every neon shade imaginable—and a grin that somehow made you feel both amused and a little unnerved. You’d find them lined up on windowsills, tucked into lunchboxes, or dangling from keychains. Some folks swore they brought good luck if you rubbed their fuzzy hair just right. Do you remember what these quirky little creatures were called?
If you guessed Troll dolls, you nailed it! These funny-faced figurines first burst onto the scene in the 1960s, created by a Danish woodcutter named Thomas Dam. But it wasn’t until the '90s that their fame truly exploded in the US, with kids collecting them in every color and costume imaginable. Whether you remember buying them for your kids—or getting one as a prize in a cereal box—tell us your Troll tale in the comments!
