The term troll has been thrown around a lot these past few weeks, so I
decided to make some fun of it, and make the best of it by reviewing on
of my trolls. The Santa Claus Troll.
He has been in my collection for years, and I got him for Christmas
way back in the 90's. Of course though Trolls would never get rid of
their most jolly troll of them all, and he is still being sold today.
The Santa Claus Troll sells anywhere from $5.99 to $12.99 depending on
where you find him. I picked my 10 inch buddy up at a local drug store
believe it or not. He was sitting un-boxed on a shelf, and because it
was Christmas time, mom went ahead and bought him for me. She should of
waited till Christmas, but I begged and howled like an annoying little
hyena.
Santa Claus Troll comes dressed up in a Santa Suit. He wears a red
velvet top with a black fake leather belt around his waist. He wears
matching black fake leather boots, and comes with the matching Santa
Claus hat.
What sets him apart from standard trolls is his hair. Most trolls have
that wacky fly away fuzz on top, as does this Santa Troll. However his
hair recedes down to his chin. Yep, this troll has a long fizzy white
beard!
Most Santa Trolls I have seen have come with fake beards that are worn
over the head with a piece of elastic holding them on, and they are
never attached to the actual rubber of the trolls face. This troll
though...he is a unique troll, and his beard comes attached.
He stands in at 10 inches tall, which makes him much larger than the
standard trolls you will find available for sale. A big troll is a cool
troll, and everybody knows it!
The Santa Claus Troll is made out of hard rubber, the rubber is very durable, and will not break or scratch.
Why Buy This Troll?
Because he is a collectors item of course! His value may not go up
much, but in due time his value will increase. Best of all though he can
be brought out every year for the holiday. Placing this sweet little
Santa Troll on a shelf for Christmas and spice up the festive
atmosphere. Trolls add fun to the atmosphere no matter where you place
them though.
The Santa Claus Troll will also make a great gift for those whom collect trolls.
Finding this particular troll:
You can pick this very troll up at http://www.livinginthelightms.com/trolls.html for $12.99. It's worth a buy, and it will last for years (unless you're crazed dog gets hold of it!)
You can also pick this troll up in local stores around the holidays.
One store that sells the Santa Troll year after year is CVS.
Wikipedia defines a troll as a fearsome member of a mythicalanthropomorph race from Norse mythology.
My Santa Claus troll...he's just cute, and there is nothing scary about him.
-This particular troll is made by the Russ company.
