> More than 30 years ago, at a humble craft fair in Pōkeno, Damian Sutton laid eyes on a wild-haired, wide-grinned Troll doll – and everything changed.  
>  
> “The smile on the Trolls, you just couldn’t walk away from it,” he says.  
>  
> “I think the spiky hair, the smile, as I was growing up as a kid having bad days through my childhood, it just kept you happy. Morgan was my favourite, I had a pram for it and everything.”  
>  
> Sutton, now living in Katikati, is one of New Zealand’s biggest Troll doll collectors. Just a few years ago, while researching rare dolls, he uncovered some interesting New Zealand history.  
>  
> For a brief period in the 1960s and ’70s, New Zealand had its own Troll manufacturing factory, based in Sulphur Point, Tauranga. It was one of only four in the world.  
>  
> Since then, Sutton has been on a quest – to track down every last one of the rare, New Zealand-made Trolls to complete his collection, including the prized Yeti Trolls.
