In mass production since the 1960s, nearly everyone has owned a troll at one time or another--even if they don't collect dolls! Find out what makes both vintage and modern trolls so popular in our Troll Dolls Profile.

i have loved trolls, since i was a very young girl. i have collected them over the years. i have one that i gave to my brother when he wentto veitnam. it was very surprising that when he came home he still had it and gave him back to me. i guess it was a good luck charm.
