Description

1984 Vintage 14 inch Rare Tico troll boy, doll in mint condition from Costa Rica, fully articulated. He is dressed in his all original four piece Hillbilly outfit: brown pants, matching vest and deconstructed, large brimmed hat, long sleeved blue printed cotton shirt and added kelly green cotton scarf. He comes complete with his original Tico wrist hang tag that is attached on his right wrist. He was made in Costa Rica in 1984. Please be sure to check out all his pictures! This adorable, unique and rare troll boy is wearing his all original, Hillbilly style, medium brown colored, deer suede polyester blend fabric: vest and matching pants are un-hemmed, raw edge line, Velcro closure on backside. Sitting loosely on his head, he wears a matching deconstructed hat which show turnout hemline, a bit thin, flimsy and wrinkly. Button down, long sleeved, brightly colored blue printed cotton shirt, elastic gathered at wrist area, Velcro closure along vertical hemline. I have added a stylish kelly green scarf to add a little flair and fashion to his overall Hillbilly look! He is fully jointed and can be posed into many different positions as can be seen in his pictures. He has his original, blue colored, spiral plastic eyes, just a faint cloudy because of aging, lightly airbrushed rosy cheeks. Firm, hard and heavy vinyl troll body, five fingers on each hand and five toes on each foot, noticeable finger/toe nails. He has his original auburn fun fur hair which is parted in the middle along the seam line, a tad faded and discolored but is original to the assembled production of this troll design. He has wispy bangs, thin fun fur hair and some slight glue lifting and residue around hairline edges, to be expected after 40 years. His wrist hang tag inside message reads, Tico trolls are native to Central America, Tico meaning Costa Rica, legend has it that Tico trolls guarded the hidden treasures of the area from the conquistadors. Mischievous to their enemies, bestowers of good luck to their friends - Befriend Me, Love Me and I will bring you good luck. His wrist hang tag is a tad bent from years of storage. He is stamped, Tico Trolls 1984 on his upper back region and also on back of his neck. Tico trolls are not all that commonly found on eBay as they were limited in production/manufacturing from Costa Rica for a fairly short duration of time. So they have become a special troll treasure to hunt down and collect! Not that many rare and highly collectible trolls are fully jointed as are Tico trolls who are the only trolls to look completely upward, relative to the position of their standing up bodies. With their sweet and pleasing troll smile with lovely dimples, cute, upturned troll nose, large spiral blue colored eyes, the expression captured on each Tico troll face is just beyond charming, adorably cute and whimsical, they are sure to bring a smile to your face! Overall, he is in never been played with or displayed. He has been carefully sealed and stored in my non-smoking home for over 25 plus years. No observable chew marks, spots or stains on his body or outfit that I can see. He is in near mint condition overall and is looking for his forever home, a truly collectible and very rare troll to enjoy and treasure for years to come. Please note: while some of his pictures include his female Tico Hillbilly counterpart who he is paired with, this is for display picture purposes only.
