Names to go with faces

Here is a list of names that go with particular face and body molds (the ones that I know). Names weren't really given in association with faces/bodies until the Norfin era (besides the Iggynormous), so very vintage trolls aren't really listed. The same can be said for newer trolls. For newer trolls, names are given for the character, not necessarily the troll itself. There are many, many characters out there, new and old (which at some point I'll probably create a list for that too - just watch), but in the mean time, this is just for names that are associated with certain faces and body types.

Not all faces are listed at the moment - I haven't ever found a name for a few from the same Norfin era. My favorites are the 8.5" trolls that look up (with whites under their eyes).
Example:

There is a male and female version. I heard that this face was not as popular back when in America, so it was produced more in Europe. Since Norfin was based in America, maybe that's why. Or maybe not :-).

I've listed them by size:

Henry

Greta

Livvy

Grandpa & Grandma


Erik & Erika

George (& Georgette)

(I unfortunately do not have Georgette -
she is the same as George, just with longer hair,
and no scarf)
(And this is technically Christmas George ;-) )

Hector

(dressed in Forest clothing)

Ingrid

Ivan

Lars

Olga

(dressed as the Gypsy character)

Heather

Hanna & Hans

Sven & Inge

Hilda & Thor

Little Sister/Brother
or
Playmates


Little Tykes

Tiny Ones

Toddlers = standing
Infants = sitting
Newborns = laying down

Dam troll size comparison

What was an attempt to show the differences in sizes for Dam trolls ended up being a fun project for my new banner :-). I'm posting the regular photo so you can zoom in and see the smaller trolls more easily. I didn't include the vintage Dams (they will be another photo), but since I turned it into my banner, now I wish I had! Oh well.

The sizes quoted hereafter are from the ground, to the top of the forehead. I find this is the best universal measurement, since some trolls have coneheads, some have flat heads, and some have heads that are hollow. They are also approximate - there is slight variation in troll sizes due to the warping of vinyl caused by age (or by something like being left out in the heat ;-) ). The names included are the names of trolls in their original felt clothing. There were quite a few characters made (and each character had a name), so in the interest of space, I'm going to stick generally with the originals, and a few others. The names of the originals are also associated with a specific face and body type, whereas the characters could be any troll. Articulated = they are made to pivot/move.
