They were everywhere. They were unsettling. And somehow… we loved them. This week, Andrea and Ryan explore the 90s Troll doll craze — where it came from, how it exploded across brands, and why these tiny, unhinged creatures captured our hearts.
What started as a cute collectible turns into a surprisingly deep conversation about nostalgia, identity, and the parts of ourselves we keep buried. Turns out Troll dolls may have been holding a mirror to our repressed inner chaos all along.
