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.
