Home of the Trolls
We're not the Disney Trolls... just the often shy and hard to find trolls from the forest!
Our Trolls bring the legends to life!
handmade by the Arensbak family since 1959
Ken and Neta Arensbak ('arns-bock) were born and raised in Denmark,
where trolls are an important part of the Scandinavian folklore.
There were no troll dolls with the colorful spiked hair back then...
only real trolls from the deep forests that they grew up hearing about in ancient folktales.
When they moved to North America in 1949, and later opened their studio on Troll Mountain,
a bit of the old folklore (and a few trolls too) came with them!
