In 1988 I put dreads on a troll doll. It was a
generic troll with pink hair. I showed
it to some friends and they all wanted one. I made a bunch and actually sold
every one of them. I started traveling
with the trolls I made, and everywhere I went people would buy them. When December came, I could not keep up with
demand. I turned every troll body I
could find into an original, authentic, one of a kind, and soon to be famous?
Rasta Troll. Handcrafted from
available Troll dolls , the first wave stormed the swap meets of Southern
California . Only after 10?s of thousands of Rasta Trolls were made, did Success allow the San
Diego Skankin Troll to be created . This Rasta Troll was only produced for a short
amount of time, and less than 10% of the Original Rasta Trolls are of this type. In 1993 the Dam company was given their copyrights back, and
all other troll production suddenly stopped. In the first 5 years of their
amazing popularity , approximately 100,000 Rasta Trolls were created in a small
garage in San Diego , California . It has always been a labor of love , and the Rasta Troll will continue to live on
with your love .
