The Evolution of TROLL Dolls! 

I remember loving the 2005 version of Trollz dolls. The cartoon was so amazing. Theme song ate, tho.

I thought it was funny that the kid in the advertisement you played decided to wish cherry cough syrup really tasted like cherries, rather than wish for his cough to disappear.

I AM SHOOOOCKED that Trollz was a flop. I had EVERY school merch of them. I was already in high school but I watched the show and I had notebooks, pens, a backpack, HUGE FAN!

As A Huge Fan Of The Dreamworks Trolls Movies. It’s very interesting to learn about the Backstory of these Dolls.

There is also zelfs which took inspiration from the trolls dolls too

I actually enjoyed the Trollz cartoon when i was younger. It was fun

Wait, I was waiting for you to mention Zelfs because I thought they were related to the trolls. But now I'm assuming they're not and I just grouped them in together lol

Thank you so much for doing this video. Trolls will always have a special place in my heart. My grandfather loved them and I would buy them for him. He passed when I was 15 leaving all the ones I gave him to me. I treasure them to this day. My daughter and I love the trolls movies and I love sharing something special I had with my grandfather with her as well as so many songs I grew up with.

In the '90's, I had so many Troll Dolls with jewels in their bellies and I love all of them. I'm glad that the Troll Dolls are making kids happy today and sound like Justin Timberlake. 😂

Love this now we’re talking after the loss of my favorite Japanese comic book author this makes me feel a little better love troll dolls as well as fashion dolls

I had the original trolls. The giraffe troll, double headed troll and many others. Out of the prize machines, you could get a very small troll. We took them to swim meets, gave us something to play with……great memories. ( also had the troll house )

I remember the Troll dolls the early version of them and the show Trollz!

I have never understood the appeal of troll dolls, I think they’re hideous but to each their own 😄

I loved the 90s Trolls. I totally remember having a purple wizard and a pizza chef. There were many others but those are the only ones I remember.

Umm "The Incredible World of Dic"? I dunno about that name, sounds like they would make an entirely different kind of toy lmao

Ahh...I used to curse my Troll dolls.

Trollz has been and always will be my troll, I love Trollz cartoon.

I have a handful of original Russ troll dolls from the 90s and I also have a little Dam troll from 1985 which it has stamped on one of his feet.

The animal trolls are sooo cuteeee

I grew up watching Trollz, and it'll always be iconic to me, even if it didn't do well commercially. Side note, I just finished watching all the Barbie animated movies and I'd love if you made a video ranking them or discussing them. Great video as always :)

That Troll Barbie jingle lives in my head rent free! I'm so glad you included her/ them. I wanted one so badly as I collected trolls. I was Troll Barbie, 😆. I even had Troll jewelry. I loved my Troll earrings. The treasure trolls were my favorites. I got a multi pack from Sam's Club (warehouse store). I don't remember having Trolls with clothes. I wasn't a Beanie Baby girl, I was a Troll girl.😊❤

Omg I recognize that Trolls Barbie! In The Most Popular Girls in School series, Rachel Tice wears the Barbie Troll Tshirt 😂

This was a fantastic video, thank you Joey for all the research you did. I still have a troll from 1966. I was 10 then, my Aussie cousin bought her for me at the Woolworths near my home. The troll is unmarked, and has grey wool hair, so I'm hoping it is a Dam troll. In second grade we played with our troll dolls at every recess and lunch break, posing them in cave attire in their "cave" carry cases. Those were fun days. I love the trolls, I'm glad I've kept mine.

I grew up with the original troll dolls. To say they weren't fashion dolls leaves out the fact that you could buy separate outfits or patterns to make clothes yourself. There was no mention of Uneeda trolls which had their double horseshoe logo molded on the bottom of their foot

I had trolls in the 60's. They were probably not the Dam trolls because they were called "wishniks". They were supposed to bring you luck if you stroked their hair. My mom - who made a lot of my Barbies' clothes - also made tiny outfits for my wishniks. She even made the most adorable little bridal gown with a small bit of satin, some lace and some sequins. Funny the things you remember 😊

I used to have a pencil cap which is a troll doll with pink hair back in the 90s.

This is a really important video 😂 I loved them trolls along with Barbie and Polly pocket in early 2000s.

I remember the cartoon Trollz when it came on TV I was really into it! the show has that magical girls winx club vibes. I also remember I got a tiny troll doll from a gacha thing and my mom freaked out about how ugly it looked and threw it away 😭

I still have my gigantic, collector's Russ troll doll. I gave her to my kiddo❤

If you haven´t already - you should make a video about all the different tinker bell dolls over the years - especially in the 2000s when they were doing the whole Disney Pixie hollow thing and there were sooo many different Tinker bells being launched as toys, and most of them looked pretty....odd

Omg I loved Trolls so much they were My favorite toy ever, and still are.

We love Trollz 💎

I had so many trolls growing up in the 80s and 90s. Most of them were pencil toppers I used in school 😂 I still have 2 of my big 1s. An Irish lepracorn and 1 in a blue body suit with yellow hair.

Hi, I’ve been a fan of the troll dolls since the 90s, I’ve collected a few of them over the years. I too also love the movies. Brings back find memories for me.

That was fun! I was a kid in the early 90s. I remember the Russ Trolls being everywhere- just rows of them at the grocery store. I remember kids bringing them to school. I got a handful of them myself back them- a bride and groom and a baby and a cheerleader wearing my elementary school colors that my mom bought me when I graduated at the end of 5th grade. I still have them. My mom even has a couple small ones that have sat in the front window of my childhood home for over 30 years since my parents still live there.

I had a troll dolls back in the 60's including a troll erasure.

Oh my gosh I’ve had troll dolls since the early 70s and then again bought them in the 90s. Your vid was sooo informative - thank you!

I have a deep appreciation for the classic Troll dolls from the late '80s and early '90s - their original designs truly captivate me. In my view, those eras represent the pinnacle of Troll doll creativity, showcasing some of the most iconic and well-crafted designs in the entire Troll doll line. Although I used to own a substantial collection of these trolls, sadly, many of them have been misplaced over time. Despite this, I recently rediscovered one of my cherished Troll dolls, reigniting my fondness for their nostalgic charm. Furthermore, my admiration extends to the Troll dolls from the '70s, '80s, and '90s. In my opinion, these decades produced the most remarkable and timeless designs in the Troll doll universe. Their unique aesthetic and character make them stand out as the epitome of Troll doll perfection.

I’ve still got my Cow/Bull little Troll made by Dam Things. I’ve had it since early 70s.. One of those things I kept. It’s 50 years old..

1990s Trolls for this collector. Loved to learn about how many variations there are and why. Thanks for this video!

Scooping in when I see someone talking about my special interest! I have just a few mini blind bag ones and two larger plushies (all hasbro and... they just say dreamworks XD) but holy crap the rabbit holes I've gone down on designs and looks and types I know nearly everything there is to know about the original dolls and the first movie and all their versions over the years. These movies are the absolute best and these dolls are my favorite thing possibly ever. Also funnily enough you didn't mention the first 3D onscreen appearance of Troll Dolls was Toy Story, which was also happens to be Barbie's onscreen debut as well! My personal favorite are the colored hasbro and mini russ dolls, and people make amazing customs as well that are really cool. I'd also love to get a softbody sometime soon because I have a few Cabbage Patch dolls and I just love that build. Thank you so much for this video!

Wonderful video. I had no idea of the history on Trolls. I was never much into them but I had the tiny pencil toppers in school, I thought those were cool. My younger sister loved them in the 90s

I definitely remember the treasure trolls (I believe they were my moms though) but I did enjoy playing with them

Ooh! I hope you unbox the Trollz doll you ordered and make a video of it! I watched the cartoon as a kid (I had a DVD but can’t remember where I got it) and always wanted dolls but never saw toy commercials for them.

one thing my mom and i both collect together is trolls that is what got me back collecting dolls

Hi Joey I found out Ryan Gosling played Young Hercules TV series when he was younger

Really loved this video. Never knew they had such a long history and were made by so many companies. I never had a troll but loved playing with them. I badly want the troll barbie though lol.

Oh no, can’t believe I had one of the fakes! I had the Treasure Trolls! Like, A LOT 😂 My sister was always scared of them haha

Thanks for the video! I think I had a 90s troll doll at some point. I wish I remembered where or how I lost it. I knew nothing of their history though. The story of their origins is so touching

OMG I used to watch Trollz when I was 12 y/o! I've never related it to the toy lol

I have troll doll and so.did my kids.loved your video.

I had some Troll dolls from the 90s and now I collect more Trolls from across franchises. I did order some Trollz dolls they were sassy like the Bratz.I want them to get a reboot again.

I had so many of the Trollz dolls as a kid. I loved them so much honestly. And well back then I also loved the show and even spend a lot of time on the trollz site. Makes me sad to hear it was such a flop.

I Love the trolls movies so much! Thanks for making this vídeo ❤❤❤

This is such a great overview of trolls! Thanks for doing this! 😊❤

Loved Trolls!

I had troll pencil toppers in the 90s.😊

I have the Troll Barbie, but just the doll and her outfit and shoes. Your hair looks cute, Joey.

I always loved Trolls!!! Also i thought that the Zelfs by Moose was official Trolls products

I used to visit a shop in St Ives, Cornwall as a child and gaze in awe at the wide range of Trolls for sale... they must've been Dam Trolls as I remember the pony and am old, lol. So.... I had one (money was in short supply back then), it had long yellow hair, tipped in black. The hair felt wonderful. And I also had a Swinging Monkey Troll - ah but that was so cute!

I love the original trolls. I have a big collection 😍

Amazing video!!! I was a Barbie girl bit seeing this oh I wish I had one ...and the trollz (with a z haha de zorrooo) looks sooo fantastic!

I love trolls and I love your videos

I had one troll doll as a kid, but I have no idea was it original, and after watching this video.. I think there was a moment where the "original" didn't exist, so it's even harder to tell 😅But anyway, great video Joey, your skills are constantly improving, and the new camera.. well, makes you look even more handsome now 😎

I actually have trolls from three different companies in the 90's I realize now. Cool. 😊

I had the treasure trolls.

I had a troll in the 90s that would stick his tongue out when you squeezed his belly.

I remember watching the Trollz show and loving it and then seeing the actual dolls it was based on and feeling catfished 😂😂 so I didn't like them then but, now I look at them with more appreciation, I like the ones with the jewels in the belly buttons.

So, dunno why. But in Scotland these things were called gonks back I the day.

I remember the original trolls but I want an ugly troll. I do love Dreamworks Trolls though, its so much fun.

The double headed troll doll 😂

i used to like troll dolls. They became popular around the time when i lived with my grandparents. My grandmother HATED them. She thought they were hideous. Every time i got a troll, they would mysteriously disappear within days. i think my grandmother was throwing them away.😆

I loved my Trolls dolls!!

There is also trollz by Moose toys

I love your videos ❤❤❤

I had a Treasure Troll from the 90s I think it had a yellow gem

I love the new dreamworks films so much they r colorful and i like the facemolds Oh btw in toy story 1 and 2 they had appear in really few scenes

I love troll and I play them when I was a kid. My dad have russ troll doll collections, I have 2 trolls now, he give it to me. Love from The Philippines

Great video!!

I didn’t realise trollz was a flop I had ruby and onyx im gna try and find them in my loft asap i loved them!

I grew up with treasure trolls and trollz dolls ❤

These are so nostalgic for me. I assume the trolls I had as a kid were thrown away long ago (which I'm glad for, as I absolutely despise the way they look - big ew for me). The new troll dolls are cute!

Thank you so much for this video, I’m in love with the new version of trolls by DreamWorks , I also wants to buy a new doll from Mattel but I still don’t know which one

Wow. The museum is only 5 hours away from me. That is a bit far for a day trip, but still very close. It might be fun for you to turn this into a fan gathering for your Midwest fans. Bucket lists are fun to think about and to embellish as you think on it.

We had Trolls when I was little, but unfortunately I grew up in a very strict home. For some reason my family decided Trolls were evil. They made us get rid of them, and we were never allowed to have them again 😢.

Troll...and then a new Troll

Siempre que veo tus videos pienso que esa habitación donde grabas parece una casa de muñecas, no sé si es un efecto o el ángulo de la cámara... pero con la ventana y la puertecita se ve tan cute!

11:02 hahaha gloob is a tv channel that streams Miraculious. I think it’s Portuguese ? But I am not sure

Two video ideas: Go through all of the ballerina Barbies or the Bob Mackie Barbies. There’s some really ugly yet super expensive Bob Mackie Barbies so they’d probably be more interesting to talk about.

Definitely was prime age in 1992 for trolls. I was in the Australian fan club and had some pretty interesting ones. My favourite was a green and gold one that said "Troll for PM" for the Australian election. Mine were all Russ, I believe, but as someone of Danish decent, I had no idea about Dam Trolls, and would love to get one.

I grew up with DreamWorks Trolls, Poppy is definitely my favorite, and the songs are amazing, Band Together is definitely my favorite Trolls movie

I had zelfs and I used to love them

Hi Joey, would you consider making a video about barbies of the world if you haven't already? I would love to hear you talk about them🥰

I owned one of the wishing gem trolls as a kid. Don’t know what happened to it. I’m a fan of Dreamworks Trolls too and own a couple toys of Poppy who’s my favorite from the franchise. I initially had a plush of Branch because I thought he’d be my favorite when I saw the trailer and vice versa with my main bff with Poppy, though they did like Branch’s humor that we saw in said trailer. However after we saw the movie we both ended up switching on who our favorite character was so I gave my Branch plush to my main bff as we left the theater.

Please please please do a video on Blythe dolls next ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I have a troll doll who’s clothes are made out of hair. I have a Poppy plush doll when you squeeze her belly, she talks. I also have Hug Time Harmony Branch and Poppy, when you have them 3 feet apart of each other they sing True Colors together and also say movie 🎥 phrases. The Trolls movies 🎥 have a special place in my heart 💜.

I have the TROLLZ cartoon series on DVD and it's so good! It ends on a cliffhanger though. I always wanted troll dolls but wasn't allowed to have them because in Hispanic culture, trolls are duendes and they're known to kidnap children. 😐 But I was able to buy a tiny pencil topper with green hair at the student store at school, that I would hide from my parents. 😋

A cow troll?!?! I NEED ONE!!!!

😮 i didn't know troll from Denmark 💟 👍🏼 🎶 Can't stop feeling 🎶

Guys the old trolls have been brought back at wallmart
