Trolls seem to be the creepiest toys existed and not to mention the ugliest. Who in the world would love playing with these things. During my younger days, my elder sister collects these gnomes. She used to have all kinds of them. Thumblike sizes and naked. Because they were "Ugly" and I could only care less about them, I didnt pay much attention to their existence because for me, they were just ugly dwarfs.
A friend in our office refered me to an online shop who sells pre-loved toys. Everything was so affordable on that online shop but for one toy-a troll. When I first saw the troll on the shop's page, nostalgia hit me right then and there. I wanted to buy it despite it's unreasonable prize to feed my nostalgic mind but too bad, someone just few seconds ahead of me had commented on the photo "mine". I was disappointed a little bit but I can manage to let it pass. It wasn't such a big deal after all.
After so long of keeping watch on that online shop in case they might sell another of that gnome, I finally found not only one but there were two of them, bigger in size from another online shop. After a few minutes of decision-making and battling with my other self thinking the purchase will leave me regretting, it will be very impractical to buy a pre-loved something at an unreasonable price but I waived all doubtfulness and I was certain I would give in and wouldn't miss another chance this time than being sorry again. Without being skeptical, I bravely commented "mine" even if I was not sure how much would they cost me. Immediately, the owner acknowledged it by replying to the comment "reserved for.." with my name tagged on it. There was no turning back. I looked at the trolls again and convinced the submissive side of me (who just lost in the battle with my dominant side) to get over it. To my surprise, the price of these trolls were unbelievably like a twenty times cheaper than the one from the other online shop! (not a bad deal after all). Im not sure if it's the quality that made it much cheaper (didn't care to ask) but that doesnt matter anymore, I finally have not only one but two of them that left me at peace. These trolls might be the ugliest but they mean so much to me. Everytime I look at them, I see my childhood. They are my treasures.
And in addition, upon investigating the toys, I found out that the one with blue hair was manufactured back in 1986!
They're not only mere toys, I was able to own one antique and that's some real treasure!!!
And for all you guys who happen to see these ugly toys anywhere and might not interest you at all, Ill be a comment away...
Yours truly...
