I'm always seeing these around and I don't know much about them! I know they're late 80s but I must have missed them somehow? I may try to research and post a bit more about them... but I'll wait and see if there is anyone that already knows a lot. :)

Update: Okay, I'll add some eBay pictures. :)

I know them, but I don't know "a lot" :) Like, I don't know how many there were made- I tried to look into it briefly a few years ago... I think when I was researching if they had a resale market. I don't think they did :(
I had a pink one, my sister a purple (with headphones, I think). I believe we have found a birthday one at a thrift store.
*edit* I was wrong, my sister had a purple one that did not wear headphones. It was the more girly one. I just looked them up on ebay... ahh, the memories. They are so very ugly!
-
Yeah. I usually leave them behind. I saw a girl one in a white dress the other day but didn't get it.
They're very troll-like! :)
-
They made some other items too. I remember seeing a lunchbox for sale.
-
We actually wound up giving ours away, back when we thought giving to goodwill meant "giving to needy children who will enjoy this toy more than me," not "sell it to whoever, and if not chuck it."
Now I feel guilty about the few toys I managed to part with. Which means I even sort of want back my ugly Hobnobbins.
They do look like trolls :) Which I forgive. I liked some troll things. I like that they seem to have had characters and actual thought put into them. That doesn't happen too often any more. I didn't appreciate it at the time, but I do now.
And the bearded one... fantastic.

I see them on Ebay - that's all I know! I think they're cute :)

They're really interesting!
I think they're cute!

oooh! That's what those are! My aunt had Cousin Pop Star. I think they're cute. I wish my hair looked like theirs. hehe

Looks like there's 24 of them.
