naughty Arch!!!

Hi i have seen some trolls in a shop near me today would you like me to send you one and which colour would you like Valxxx

think i married one!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had trolls but baby sister cut their hair they ended up looking like Rod Stewart in the 70,s.Also remember making Gonks ( Humpty Dumpty type).A friend at school had deluxe fur Gonk - boy did she get into trouble when her mum found large in hole in back of her fur coat.

I am sure I had one or two and a gonk too I think, but it is probably buried somewhere in all my junk now.

Just googled and they are sold on ebay as Troll/Gonk. My son had some so maybe I am getting mixed up and didn't have one myself.

I had loads Ros!!

just googled GONK and TROLL -there are troll collectors , saw a Santa one I remember that one , Ros xx

I think I knitted a GONK-must google it, Ros xx

We had gonks as mascots when we did our GCE's that was 1969:)))

Yes I remember them as plastic things with coloured hair too but a lot of people called them Gonks as well as Trolls. Maybe it depends on which area you lived

yes maggie that how i remember them, the one i made was round with little hands and feet

Gonks to me were like 'Humpty' from 'Playschool'.
Trolls were cute but ugly plastic things with lots of hair!! Oh and big feet!!

I was buying my Trolls over 42 years ago,

We called them both Gonks and Trolls :))

my sister had trolls and i had a gonk which i made at school in needlework, made out of felt

OMG the good old days!! :-)))

I used to have them - and used to buy the clothes.

It was quite funny as we lived in Mevagissey. I used to go to a shop near the harbour, this was in about August/September, we'd just moved there. I was charged 2/11d for an outfit.
Come October, when the holiday season had ended, I went to buy another outfit and the lady said 'Do ee live 'ere then?' I said I did 'Oh then yo'me be a local' and after that she only charged me 2/6d!! LOL

I have 2 boxes of them in the attic, of various sizes.
I loved them so much I bought them for my youngest - whether she wanted them or not!!!

I have had a small one with purple hair floating about the house for years, it belonged to my daughter who left home at 19.......she is 36 now, and blow me down, I can't find it now.........may be its in the grandchildren's toybox.....

Devon - think mine was a one-off job, but suppose there could be others!!!

Gotcha
