Troll dolls with gaudy hairstyles in a multitude of different costumes.

1992 USA Fundex Folklore

Troll dolls have had their ups and downs since their creation in the late 1950s, being popular in one decade and much less so the next. When this pack was issued in 1992, they were ‘big’! Each of the 54 cards has a different photographic image of a troll doll with colourful, furry up-combed hair. The indices are larger than normal. The box came in a blister pack with a double-sided backing sheet
