Damian Sutton has been collecting Trolls for almost thirty years - it's a passion that began when his mum bought him a troll on a pencil at a craft fair when he was eight.
Then three years ago, Damian got wind of some fascinating information.
That these often butt-naked, spiky-haired figures, were manufactured right here in Tauranga. Who knew?
The factory at Sulphur Point manufactured Troll Dolls during the 1970s - and was one of only four Troll Doll factories in the world.
Damian is now on a mission to collect all of the Tauranga-made Trolls - including the prized Yeti Trolls.
