Trolls??

[RobinHoodFan]

So, I'm doing some spring cleaning and came across all my old trolls of all sizes. Mostly Russ (maybe a Dam or two in there). Anyway...they're in REALLY played with shape (dirty clothes, marks, dead batteries, and they smell like old troll lol - theyve been stowed away in a tote for a long time) Anyway, is there a market for these? Maybe even as custom bait? I've seen a few custom trolls on eBay so can i list a lot with hopes of some income? It's just too much work right now to clean all of these up (not to mention I'm not even sure how to go about cleaning them in the first place) and even if i did clean them up i would probably just save them for my niece to play with when she's old enough.

Anyway, So I guess my main questions are:
1)would i be better off selling them in a lot as custom bait?
2)individually in their very played with condition?
3)anyone know of any troll specific forums or sites I can check with?
4) Customize & sell them myself?
5) Anyone looking for some trolls?


Thanks for the help!
(Next, in the tote to figure out a future for are the pound puppies..lol!)

I'd be so interested in hearing replies to this!  My mom just unearthed tons of my old Russ trolls from her attic.

I'm a member of the Dam yahoo group. It is a bit slow, but everyone in there REALLY knows their trolls! It seems to be mostly older folks, and they are super helpful and informative. I wouldn't think that the Russ guys are worth anything, but the Dams *could* be.

And if you have a Dam Tailed Troll (vintage, w molded tail) you have the Mimic or Rapunzel of trolls.

also, eta a small dam troll with spiral eyes, or c 64 on him is good, as well as any eye colour other than amber.

I just keep adding to this: there is a troll movie coming out soon, so you might want to hang onto the Russ guys till then.

Interesting...Thanks! I'll take a look at those sites..hopefully i can find something.

Anyway, here's a photo of the lot if this helps at all: There's a couple of others (including one very vintage looking one that i'm keeping so these are the ones i'm trying to figure out what to do with)

Alright, while we're on topic - I always come across trolls at the thrift store and garage sales.  But I'm not versed in them at all...  Which ones are worth picking up???    (I know, loaded question, right?)

I remember those!  Ohhh I had a few but they long ago were donated!    The neon green one with pink hair laughs maniacally if you push a button on his tummy, I recall...  Best of luck selling them!

Wow!! That is quite a collection!

Haha Yup...the purple one next to it too.. used to say "i'm feeling lucky", "give me a kiss", "you're my best fried" then on the last push, it'd say all three in succession....i dont remember what the purple haired one said though... i think it was different. probably would still work if the batteries were changed

The other super hero ones above that, the eyes light up when you push the button.....well, used to light up.lol

I remember trolls.  I only had a couple, my mom thought they were stupid/ugly/creepy and wouldn't buy them for me

Wish I had some extra money, I would take these off your hands! I love the trolls!
