Pair of novelty troll dolls / small plastic figurines with faux fur hair
Estimated Value
$10-$30 for the pair, depending on maker, completeness, and condition
A pair of small novelty troll-style dolls/figurines featuring exaggerated large eyes, bright dyed faux fur hair, and colorful molded plastic bodies. The left figure is a female-presenting character in a purple outfit with the slogan 'YOU'RE OK IN MY BOOK' printed on the front and a pearl-like necklace. The right figure is a male-presenting character in a yellow shirt, blue overalls, and oversized shoes, holding a small pink accessory. These are decorative collectible toys rather than fine antiques, typical of late 20th-century novelty giftware or pocket toys.
