Trolls or Gonks?

When I was a child (100 years ago) these were pretty cool toys and everyone had them.  We called them Gonks but I think they are really called Trolls?  Today I came across this group of tiny ones, 6cm including the mop of fluro hair, (2 1/4") and decided I needed them for my china cabinet that doesn't have an awful lot of china in it!!  Mine is more of a memories cabinet.

I am thinking how cool they could be made into a necklace!!

Quite liking the thought of a short week.  Rather enjoy getting paid NOT to go to work!!  So roll on Easter break, gotta love the four day weekend!!
