In the height of the Troll Doll's popularity in the mid-1990s, several attempts were made to market the concept to young boys. The 'Battle Trolls' brand were one such attempt.(Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_doll) Released in 1992, the line included characters such as Nunchuck (a ninja troll) Franken Troll (an obvious nod to the famous Frankenstein's Monster), and Wolfman Troll.
While initially successful, the Battle Troll line failed to achieve the popular success that the 'original' Troll toys enjoyed. Though much of the line consisted of references to classic fiction and popular culture, the line was retired in 1993 after two additional runs with newer characters.
