1999 Collector's Choice Troll

 30th Anniversary- KenTroll/Original Troll

while Ken made his first Troll in 1959, and later on a few for friends, it wasn't until 1969 that the family began to
make their Trolls to sell in shops. The Troll's design has changed over the years but it seems fitting to bring back this style on the 30th anniversary and also as a tribute to it's originator. ~in loving memory of Ken Arensbak (1923-1997)
 

Winner:
Robert C., Thornhill, Ontario, Canada

Results.... of Best idea for a new Troll ~ Contest

 

***  Guardian Angel  ***

 

While we could all use a Guardian Angel looking out for us sometimes,

 this idea really touched our hearts because it was submitted by a long time collector who had just lost her sister.  She wanted us to make for each of her family members, a special troll that would both be a symbol of her life and a reminder that she would always be looking over her loved ones. 

We currently make a troll similar to this (Troll Angel, Series I) which was selected as the winning idea in our first contest. After more than 10 years of making them, the Troll Angel will be retired at the end of this year. 

Many thanks to all who entered and a special thank you to our winner: 


Debbie, B.  Eaton, OH

 

This will be the 12th Troll in the Collector's Choice Series (series XII).
