EXCITING NEWS...Dark Horse Comics Releases Good Luck Troll Mystery Boxes

Good Luck Trolls were originally created in 1959 by Danish fisherman and woodcutter Thomas Dam.

Good Luck Trolls “mystery box” assortments are a new collectibles merchandise program by Dark Horse Comics under a license granted by Dam Things, who hold all rights to the works of Thomas Dam. The mystery box was introduced to the market July 25, 2012. 

 The first collection offers up fifteen different versions of the figures in various colors and with unique surface treatments, including metallic, flocked, black-light sensitive, glitter, and glow-in-the-dark.


 Mystery box (also known as “blind box”) trading figures are essentially the same product, varying in decoration and materials, and sold randomly out of sealed packages. Some of the figures are common to every counter display, whereas “chase” figures are much harder to come by. 

The Good Luck Trolls are presented in a counter display unit holding fifteen individual blind boxes. Each Troll is packaged in an opaque foil bag inside its box to prevent tampering or viewing prior to purchase.

Dark Horse also created a one-time limited edition of 1,500 green-body Good Luck Trolls with snow-white hair that are sensitive to black light. They were sold exclusively at the Dark Horse booth at Comic-Con International in San Diego, July 12–15, 2012.

I can't wait to get my hands on these...
