History of Troll Dolls:

The first trolls were created by Thomas Dam in the 1950′s in Denmark. Troll Dolls became a fad in the 1960′s. These early trolls are known as the vintage trolls. The most popular vintage trolls are the Dam Trolls. Early troll manufacturers were Dam Things, Uneeda (Wishnik), and Scandanivia House. Early trolls had mostly felt clothing and mohair.

Trolls reemerged as a fad in the 1980′s and early 1990′s. Russ Company flooded the market with cheap trolls. In addition, Dam Things sold their trolls under the new name of Norfin trolls. While Russ concentrated on the volume of trolls, Norfin trolls had better features and were well made. This fact can be seen in the resale and collectible values of the trolls on Ebay. You can still buy trolls today but collectors will pay a lot more money for a older collectible troll.

In addition to dolls, manufacturers also made paper dolls, key chain toys, and party supplies. Troll birthday supplies included a Wilton cake pan, paper napkins, cups, and paper plates. Everything that you would need for a fun troll birthday party.
