new era of troll dolls?

Well, winter is upon us. Last weekend we had to to turn the clocks back. Our trees are bare. Frost has killed any and all flowers outside now. The goldfinches are now brown.Christmas shopping ads have already started.
 In last sunday newspapers flyers was the new" toys-r-us" Christmas wish book.
A I was perusing through the toy wish book I noticed there were these "new" troll-like dolls on the market called "zelfs". They are a product originated from Australia..They are similar to troll dolls with their pointed ears, colorful hair sticking up and stout bodies with cute faces.
There had been so many different 'generations' of troll dolls from :dam trolls, wishniks, treasure trolls, russ trolls, and the list goes varying from assorted licensing propriety and manufacturers.Some were cute and fun and some were downright scary and awful.
These little troll like dolls are cute. It will be interesting to see if kids in this electronic age warm up to them like they did with wishniks in the 1960's and again in the 1980's with treasure trolls. :-)
