Trolling around

My mum bought this collection of trolls for my son on ebay (after he was so taken with the one that my nana has sitting on top of her tv). I haven't heard the kids playing this well together for ages. They actually organised a 'day spa' for the trolls in the bathroom yesterday. One troll has been excluded from all the fun as it is just too creepy looking. I will take a photo of that one - which we have named Chucky - and post it soon. Others are named Priscilla, Queen of the Trolls (this one has breasts and wears a single lame frock), Rainbow T, Sporty T (who has a soccer outfit) and Baby T (who wears a little troll sized nappy). Who knew that trolls could be so much fun. My daughter is a unit on bridges at school at the moment and I suggested she take one of the trolls in to sit beneath a bridge.

Oh gosh! I haven't seen troll dolls in years!!! But I must say, I don't think I've ever seen one with breasts before.

It's a bit creepy, isn't it? Don't think Mum knew about this when she bought them.

LOL - I still have my troll doll from when I was a kid. It has blue hair but no breasts!

How cute! I haven't seen those dolls in years. I love the troll 'spa day.' How creative. =)

Cute dolls! But the one with breasts.. it's so "Barbie!" lol Maybe you should put clothes on it. Oh btw, your little girl looks so pretty in that picture :)

trolls! we used to have it on our pencils and stuffs..But they are to creepy looking..Don't see them anywhere now..Trolls sit under bridges and eat people's life ( Neil Gaiman's Smokes n Mirrors)

!!! Trolls! Those were a big thing when I was in elementary school. I only ever had one, about the size of the baby, and he had yellow hair........and no overt gender.

I remember trolls! There were a few floating around our house when my kids were young (in the 80s).

I love trolls! I have like 20 when I was a kid, then I hit high school and one day while I was at school mum threw out all my dolls... Wicked woman.

I'm scared of that trolls' creepy look and i don;t think will buy any for my children..hehe

Awwww.....I love the pics of your kids. Great shots !!

I am thinking of hiding the one with breasts. It is just too weird.

Thanks Monsoon. Not sure how my kids got that idea. It is not as if I spend my time tripping off to day spas. Not even really sure what they are!

Yes, it does have clothes - silver nightclub dress! They were just all naked after their bath. ;)

I always think of the troll in the Three Billy Goats story. Do Malaysian children know that story too?

I think they were retro even in the 80s. My nana's one dates back to before my mum was married. Apparently my mum and her sister bought it for Nana as a joke and it has been sitting on the tv ever since.
